    Do you find Adamek boring to watch at HW?

    I have to say I do, I think he should have stuck to his natural weight where he had a bit of pop. He was a quality exciting fighter down there.

    Seeing him run around the ring, run away from a heavy all fight, trying to do some limp version of Floyd, doesn't entertain me at all.

    I wish he'd stayed at cruiser.

    he's alright. he's a bit of a laboring workhorse so it does get boring after a few rounds.

    Not when the division is so ****in awful. Its just a shame that he cant hit harder and do more damage cuz hes makin use of his size, fitness and speed.

    Easy. At Heavy weight he is.

    A very exciting fighter at LH, Cruiser, but by and large his performances at HW are boring. Who on earth wishes to watch a bloke who never in a million years stands a chance of even stinging the other guy. His chicken run fest vs Areola was enough to send anyone into a coma.

    You think staying at cruiser would get him a shot at the heavyweight championship of the world? Against Vitali Klitshcko nevertheless.

    You like boring? Watch Valuev-Haye.

    Chicken run? Arreola had a shrek face. Why not start a thread that says I hate Adamek but I pretend to like him.

    Not at all, But his lack of HW punching power will be his downfall against V. Klit.
    (Against the smaller HW's, I would be all over it to watch)

    What's this question? Adamek is one of the most exciting boxer in HW (but it isn't caused by his pageantry; HW is plainly weak).

    Depends, if you compare it to his earlier career at LHW and CW where two of his fights were close to FOTY (Briggs and Cunningham) he is definitely boring. If you compare it to the rest of HW, with title defences like Haye - Harrison (or Haye - SNV and earlier Ruiz campaigns) he is not that bad.

    I found his fight with Arreola pretty interesting... pity I can't say that about Grant and McBride.

    You have to be a complete hater to not like Adamek as a fighter. He presses the action, tends to get hit (a flaw of his that leads to more exciting fights but his granite chin holds him up), and compared to the rest of the HW division he's remarkably fun.

    his fight with arreola was alright. his other fights at heavy were not. they were against utter crap as well.

    his fight with vitali SHOULD be a good fight, but we'll have to wait and see.

    He is more technician now. It depends what you like. If you like a spectacular and action packed fights watch his LHW fights. If you want a smarter version of Adamek, but still spectacular and very powerful watch his CW fights. If you want a more tactical fight, with Adamek more ducking the punches, but still pretty active watch his HW fihts.

    To be honest I prefer his CW fight rather than LHW and HW, but everyone will find something inreresting in his HW too. I think that he is a very smart fighter now and this together with Adamek activity in the ring make the HW fights interesting too.

    Cant wait for September 10. I have booked the tickets few days ago.
