We came to an understanding with Roy Jones Jr. He wants to fight, me too. No contract have been signed yet, but a lot of things inidicate it's going to happen. We are awaiting the contract. My lawyers are in Florida talking with Roy's people. Negotiations with TVs are also under way. All can be set forth at any moment. Jones's party states that there is 90% chance this fight going to happen. We think that it's less but the chance is still really big! Frankly speaking I dont have to much to say. TV is the man in charge here. Of course in the end it's me who signs the contract but i wll fight the guy picked by TV. Of course I would want to fight Roy. He is the man! If HBO wont be interested in this fight, there are some other possibilities. Prudential Center in Newark is reserved for us on July 10. Then the fight will be in ShowBox. Whom I will fight? Sb from TOP15. about Hopkins... I think Hopkins never wanted to fight me. He was just interested in making a noise about himself. Roy wants to fight! It's the most important thing here. We came to an understanding in a moment. About fighting Bobby Gunn or Shawn Hawk... It's rubbish. - ends Adamek translated from polish source: przeglad sportowy
Sounds like Roy is letting his easy victory over an extremely shop-worn and faded Sheika go to his head. Adamek will give Jones a beating. Moving up to cruiserweight to face arguably the best active cruiserweight in the business is suicide on Jones' part. He should call it a day with that last W, otherwise he stands a chance of getting seriously hurt. Adamek has more than enough dynamite in his fists to spark Jones, and I don't think Jones has enough pop to hurt Adamek anymore. Look for a middle round KO for the Polishman.
Pop is technique and Jones throws an excelllent left hook against upright fighters. I think Admamek wins this one...he wont KO ROY...that glass Jaw ...syndrome is bllocks ..that was completely weight related. Jones weight has stabalised....his chin will take a shot. The problem for Jone sis he is a stationery target now, doesnt use his feet like he used to. Doesnt have the unpredictable speed like he used to. I see Adamek winning like Calzaghe did. I also see adamek getting stunned along the way. Jones has the symptoms of a shot fighter,,"HE CANT PULL THE TRIGGER" The old Jones would have ripped Calzaghes head of with hooks when Joe had his hands down., that ROy has gone. Adamek 9 Rnds to 3
That sounds about right. Another factor in Roy's chin is that this would be at cruiser and his chin could actually be a bit stronger after going up again. He didn't show any signs of a bad chin at heavy (and he was hit with some shots in that fight). So I also don't see a KO for Adamek but he should win it.
still a good fight t watch i think. i like jones and after the Joey C fight i think he is pissed off. maybe if jones wins , we can get jone vs hopkins again.
Roy won't get KO'd...which is worse. Least if Roy is KO'd he's outta there quick. Instead it'll be a 10-2 type drubbing of Roy Jones that will be hard to stomach whether you like or dislike the guy. I hope Roy gets whatever payday he has to out of this and gets out of the game before he winds up like some of the other ATGs who stayed WAY past their prime and suffered dibilating mental handicaps because of it.
I can see Roy getting caught by a shot and ko'd against the ropes in the 7th round. Roy needs to retire. He doesn't have the legs or reflexes to even avoid a slower guy like Adamek all night long.
Roy wont last 3 rounds, he's probably the 2nd most washed up fighter in the game, he needs hang em' up, not now, but RIGHT now....
Ah for **** sake Roy. I'll be supporting him all the way but he ain't gonna win, no way in hell. I thought he was going down to 168 not up to cruiser.
This will be a prolonged beatdown. I don't know why RJJ does this too himself. He's already an ATG, he has nothing else to prove. He's just gonna get himself hurt.
