Who wins in a rematch between Adamek/Dawson II ?

It's hard to say. I'd want to choose Dawson initially based off of what happened the first time around, but it's no guarantee how he'd handle moving up that much in weight whereas we already know how well Adamek's handled it. It'd have been a great fight to make before Adamek made the commitment to Heavyweight. I do think it'd have been significantly closer than the first fight based on the Cunningham fight, even if I still favored Dawson.

Didn't Adamek not have his trainer for the Dawson fight, as well?

 

Dawson is still too fast, and now has the mental edge.

Dawson 117-111.

Fight isn't happening unless it happens at a catchweight around 190. I don't know if Adamek can drop that low.

 

Adamek would let his hands go more, but how much more I can't say. Maybe not enough, although I would give him the benefit of the doubt because he already lost to this guy. Tomek has had problems with waiting too much in the past. He seems to be getting better, but we won't know completely until he gets back in with another boxer. He let Cunningham survive at all sorts of points he should have been collapsing. He's a perfectionist at times. It's a bad habit.

 

As long as Dawson carries the weight well he'll do exactly what he did in the first fight.

 

Nope. And he never will.

 

How can anyone vote Dawson TKO in this one?

Please explain yourself:think

 

So why not to move to HW? Adamek is already a top5 HW according to The Ring, ESB and many more.

 

Well, I would pick Adamek just because we don't know how Dawson would fare moving up to Heavyweight.

 

205 adamek wins. chad is a natural 175 and will be for the rest of his career.

 

At 205 lbs Adamek would KO Dawson. That's too heavy for Chad, at least right now.

190 lbs or so would be a good match (though that still may be a bit much for Chad). It would all come down to how well Dawson could stay away from Adamek.

In the first match-up, Adamek was absurdly weight-drained. Still, Chad is faster and moves better. So, if he could stay out of harm's way he likely wins again. But Adamek would be on him from the word "Go," and with more energy than the first time if the bout took place at a higher weight.

 

For sure Adamek would not go down to 205, also what's the point of making catchweights in HW ? I don't like it so, I don't vote, possible Dawson's win tho.

 

Is that true that Adamek had some kind of flu with bloody diarrhoea just before the Dawson fight ?

 

What i remember Adamek was moving like a typical zombiee, but maybe it was just a part of hist brilliant strategy.
