Adamek would win easily. Banks won because of a Mitchell mistake. Not because he was that great. I think he should focus on training Klitchko.
adamak hasnt brought his power with him..and is shaky when hit by big guys..id go for a adamak decision....but a close fight..
Regardless of last night Banks hasn't been all that good at heavyweight and whilst Adamek is showing signs of wear and tear he would still be too quick for Banks. Plus whilst Adamek hasn't brought his power with him I think he still hits hard enough to stop Banks and his work rate would trouble Banks also. Adamek would have done the same thing to Mitchell last night
I'd still go for Adamek, though I have a slight fear that fighting in an open weight division will tempt Adamek to bulk up in an attempt to out-muscle Banks, which will do nothing positive for his chances. Provided both men train for the fight without thinking about what the other will weigh, in other words training to fight their own fight, then I think Adamek should take it by UD or late stoppage.
fair points guys..lets forget about banks last night..mitchell made a very green mistake and it cost him..hopefully he will learn and recover..but adamak is no fast heavyweight infact i see him as a stepping stone for the likes of price or fury at this point in his career..i think he would have trouble with banks at hw..just my opinion tho..would be gd to see tho
I like Banks, good guy and fighter, but not sure I see him at the very top of the tree. His next move will be interesting though.
As awesome and inspiring as it was Banks stopping Mitchell told me more about Mitchell than it did for Banks Adamek is a top heavyweight, Banks isnt Banks looked vulnerable in round 1 vs Mitchell, I think Adamek who doesnt hit as hard as Mitchell is a way better boxer with faster hands Banks is a small heavyweight and may still have his cruiserweight chin, Adamek already stopped this guy, dont see why he couldnt do it twice
Adamek TKO 10. Wouldn't be easy but I don't think Banks has the talent to beat a guy like Adamek, as proven in the first fight.
maybe not bro..but would be intresting to see how it goes..it would also be a decent win at hw for adamak since he just slapped a hugely hyped mitchell...
