    This is what Adamek has along with tremendous awareness at all times to react in an instant.

    It's very simple. "Action, go-go, out!"

    Because Grant's jab travels like 10 miles per hour.

    His size can be a problem cuz there is some big guys out there with big natural power, but then his size makes him a little sharper and his reflexes against these biggers but slower guys is an advantage.

    Swings and roundabouts for people who move up into the weight.

    That looks like it could become a great painting.

    1. grant is slow as ****
    2. he has terrible balance
    3. he isnt a very accurate puncher

    He still managed to bust adameks face up and make adamek do a chicken dance.

    Adameks eyes got cuts from eblows by Grant. Adamek went flying (your chivken dance) but he was never hurt. Just like went the 2 figteres fell at the end of round 1. They lost their balance.

    Adamek & all his fans should be very proud of his performance last night. They had a plan, stuck to it & dominated a huge opponent.

    Adamek was able to land his jab because Grant was barely doing anything. If he fought a heavyweight of that size who had a great jab, he would be in a lot of trouble. I like Adamek, and I love your paintings, but this is the truth.

    Grant didn't use his reach effectively. His idea of using his reach and size was cuffing Adamek with his forearms and pushing him around.

    I think Adamek is catching lots of crap for this fight because everybody was set and thought that Adamek was going to knock him out.

    I honestly wasnt sure, havent seen Grant in a while, but the outcome of the fight does not surprise me one bit. Adamek also moves a lot more then he used to at CW when he scored more KDs. His feet arent planted in one spot for more then short periods to get some big punches going off, as he shoots, then moves right away to avoid the risk of being tagged.

    Don't jab. Seriously people, the heavyweight division is garbage. I'd rather watch my grass grow.
