    i favour hopkins here.

    adamek is solid with some class.

    but hops has better skills and faster.

    another title for hops then. :bbb

    Great if it happens... bad if it's another Hops PPV. I can't think of another fighter who's bored me more consistenly in PPV's than Bernard has. :tired

    That guy does not deserve to be the main spotlight on the grand stage of main event PPV's. He's just not exciting enough to watch to demand that kind of cash from the viewing public.

    This fight is going to end Bhop, I love Bhop they guy is hilarious and a legend, I think he told someone as a joKe i can beat Adamek and his camp laughed, because they thought it was another joke like i can fight PAC, a week later he must have told his agent make the fight, now the fight is made no one can really tell Bhop.

    "are you sure this is a good idea legend, maybe you could fight someone smaller less skilled."

    Adamek is better than most of HW out there at the moment. There is no way Bhop can control a fight against Adamek, and i have never seen Bhop not control a fight. I hope Bhop isnt forced to retire after this.

    But.......

    If Bhop wins it will be his greatest win ever and i will call him king Bhop of boxing.

    adamek is good.

    no way would this be one of the best wins ever.

    if adamek had stayed at light heavy and this match was being made that majority would favour hops.

    don't let titles cloud the picture here. :nono

    adamek is solid but nothing special.

    hops beating dawson or kessler at this stage would be a much bigger win. :deal

    it's the size difference. Adamek is much much bigger than Bhop. And in most fights Bhop uses his size advantage to bully fighters, and he can't against Adamek.

    agreed...i will be pulling for him all the way. we may be seeing something we won't see again for a while with how ageless hopkins is. ricky and pac are right around 30ish and talking retirement...tito and floyd both flirted with it or did around the same time....but damn 44 years old..GO GET'EM BHOP!!!

    i'd argue he doesn't use his stength so much nowadays.

    he boxes u from range and uses that speed and skills he has. :bbb

    adamek is a boxer as well.

    hops does it better. :good

    I know Bhops a better boxer but his only real win against a true light HW fighter is Tarver and he is not the biggest guy in the world. The fight would be made at cruiser weight and Adamek would have an few inch 10-16 pound advantage.

    That's not allowed, so far ;D Maybe I will change my mind if B-Hop insults Tomasz. kidding ofc

    Now seriously, after reading that all, I want to say I didn't expect so many people are convinced on Adamek's ability to win. Certainly, I'm for Tomasz and it will last til the end of his career, I was almost sure that everybody was like "BHOP above all else", but I see so many of you appreciated Adamek's will to fight and heart in the ring and believe in him more than polish fans, wow. Hope it will be a great fight and performance.

    greetings,

    Yes, everything in progress. On Saturday they are supposed to solve financial conditions. HBO gave 2 mln dollars to share and now lawyers from GBP and ME are trying to get as big ammount of cash as possible for boxers.

    So probably we will have a done deal on Saturday. Now only waiting and hoping that sides will understand rights of each other and make this fight come true.

    greetings,

    It's 60-40 split for BHop. Easy fight for the execiutoner. Adamek cant fight slick fighters.
