~*Troy Ross vs Tomasz Adamek*~

voted for adamek by TKO. adamek may not be the most athletic fighter but what he has shown is the ability to take punches and deliver them. ross was buzzed multiple times and i'm giving adamek the edge to win this.

 

No please.Adamek by KO pretty easy,the difference between them is the diffrence between a champion and a ''contender''.Ross is not in his league.

 

:verysad

 

Well even the Mora managed to win a world title. Because he got the right opportuity at the right time. So Ross has moved his career forward, he went into the pro career with world class promise but inactivity, bad career moves, bad management whatever, kept him static. He's got his boost, now it's time for his team to get him fights that will prepare him for whatever opportunity arises.

Of course you have to go fr Adamek as he has fitness, experience, grit, durability, good skills, fast hands for a cruiser. However, what if Adamek keeps winning gruelling wars - you can only take those flush shots for so long. What if Adamek went into decline and Ross - a fresh 33, a skilled southpaw - were able to take advantage of that?

Don't write off Ross. He can make something of his career from this point on. Contender have their first really good fighter. Hopefulyl they know what to do with him.

 

Without The Contender he is best known for laying John Henry Lewis in Cinderella Man.
Adamek would destroy him.And don't tell me Cora,Tauassa or Hino are on Adamek's level.

 

:good

 

Give Ross a chance to work up to the level of someone like Adamek, a top 15 contender and then a to 10 guy or two within the next year. After that, I say Ross has a chance of beating Adamek... tough fight for him though.

 

A-D-A-M-E-K by K.O

 

I'm from Poland but I'm picking Ross by stoppage. I've been impressed with his recent fights on Contender. He is so gamely. He can box, he can bang. Ross would be Adamek's Dawson of the Cruiserweight division.

 

Gay fight. Ross don't belong in the same ring as Adamek at this point. Believe me Ross aint special so i don't know why this match up is even being mentioned.

Adamek by easy KO.

 

And dont forget Adamek cant fight southpaws. He was getting hammered by McGirt Jr in sparring session. They had to stop the sparring couple of times.

 

And Jonathan Banks is any better.....

Sure Adamek has the better pro pedigree, but when you throw that amateur background into the mix, it kinda makes it an even playing field..... He has power in both hands, a southpaw and is a legitimate fighter...

I pick Ross by a close decision....

 

The difference between "contender" league and fully grown up
professional boxers may be seen in Calzaghe-Manfredo fight.
Similar difference will be when Ross meet Adamek.
