    A little fun fact that just appeared from The Ring's website.

    I'm gonna have to say, that although I'm nearly positive Adamek will lose, I am excited about seeing this come off.

    The article also reinforces that team Adamek are most likely facing Rahman in April.

    Nice! :good
    Duva already said the deal was as good as closed, really want to see this one.

    And you're right about Rahman I guess, he'll probably fights a guy with no real chance to beat him and makes him look good at the buildup. Noone can blame him for that.
     
  4. Nice. We get to watch Wlad have a 30 pound advantage over another overmatched fighter. Yet Wlad will still jab and clinch his way to a boring decision or get an underwhelming knockout after 12 rounds of clinching.

    You do realise, that you don't have to watch the fight if you don't want to, right?

    So no Haye fight this year.

    What's the possibility that Vitali fights Haye?

    At least one of them has to fight Haye.

    And David Haye will still be out of the HW picture and largely irrelevant.


    See.........I have a crystal ball too.


    BTW. name a single HW on Wlad's resume who has accomplished more than Adamek.:hey Wlad is fighting the best fighters available. That fighter happens to be Adamek. So don't be a sour puss just cause their ain't any Brooklyn HW fighters in the top 1000 atm.

    If Haye doesn't fight either one of the brothers, his "legacy" at HW at least, is ****ed.

    Vitali is still free to fight after the Solis bout, don't think Haye wants it though.
     
  10. I assume you're trying to glorify Wlad with this statement; however, you're only revealing the fact that Wlad has fought nobodies his whole career and yet still managed to look boring as **** against these tomato cans and scrubs.

    Actually, Wlad was actually exciting when he first started out but once his glass jaw got exposed, he started fighting like a giant Ukrainian *****.

    It's up to Haye. It has always been up to Haye. Guy has been stalling his HW career for 3 years and suckers like you are buying into his disgraceful tactics.

    I had really wanted Adamek/Vitali and Wlad/Haye...I think the way the styles match up, that gives the underdogs the best shot/more competitive fight, but whatever. Top names fighting = good thing anyway.

    And systematically beating down everyone in front of him. Whats your point?
     
  14. You are mistaken, my Klitschko nut-hugging friend.

    What Tyson did circa 1986-1988 was "beating down everyone in front of him".

    What Wlad is doing now should be classified as "cautiously jabbing and clinching everyone in front of him until they tire enough for Wlad to cruise to an easy decision or score a late knockout".

    Get it right. :good

    There is still a chance for Vitali-Adamek. Adamek agreed to fight Vitali, should Wlad get injured. Presumably this substitution may also apply in the unlikely event Wlad loses to Chisora.
