    Personally, I think

    , but I could well be wrong.

    Adamek's got the better skills and movement, but he's too open and he's there to be hit. Arreola's got a good beard and heavy, attritional power. If Adamek can stick and move, he'll take the points win; if he lets himself get clubbed too much, he's going down. I'm going with the latter.

    Put your votes where your mouth is.

    I think I'll decide after the weigh in. If the rumour that Chris is looking to be 235 is true then I'll certainly pick him

    Probably wise. I left the poll open to allow for that. I'm feeling reckless, though.

    Unless Arreola gets an early stoppage, he will probably lose.

    It's a make or break fight for Adamek, if he wins he deserves a title shot, if he loses it's doubtful he'll make it any deeper in the division.

    I might be wrong but I see Adamek boxing his was to a clear decsion. Only seen about 5 or 6 Arreola fights but he hasn't impressed me.

    You also think Chad Dawson wins a wide UD over Arreola....... You're lucky I wish I was 15 again.

    Very true, but it's a crossroads-ish fight for Arreola, too. Beating Adamek keeps his name in the mix and he could work his way to a shot against Wlad or maybe even Haye. Lose, and he's pretty much in no-man's land.

    It's part of why this fight is interesting.

    After watching Klitschko - Arreola fight again, I'm getting more convinced that Adamek is going to outpoint Arreola... Adamek has been working on his stamina for the past 2 months and I think he won't be worn out after 10th round like he was against Estrada. He will be quicker, better conditioned and will give Arreola trouble whole night. I know Klitschko is a top fighter but Arreola really looked awful against him. Klitschko isnt even that fast yet Arreola was unable to counter him. The only reason for Adamek to lose is to get KOed.

    The theme of this entire week has been on how skills and talent are for more important attributes than size, strength, and power. Obviously I haven't learned anything... Arreola by KO.

    I'm 21. But, yeah, I do. I don't think slow, uncoordinated fatboys can beat technically sound, coordinated, good boxers like Dawson and Adamek.

    That argument has a lot of weight but, personally, I don't think Adamek is in Martinez' league skills-wise. Like I say, I could well turn out to be wrong, though.
