Adamek vs Vitali is far more interesting

    Haye is a hype merchant, a black guy with a bit of "Flashy flash" who hasn't really got the substance at this level to back it up. He's facing a guy who will find him with jabs and crosses consistently and knock him down and out as early or as late as he feels like doing it.

    On the other hand, you've got Adamek who is a pure boxer, proving himself at every weight he's been at so far, fighting a Vitali who may have lost a step recently. Both guys have endurance up the yang, both guys have a hell of a chin and both guys throw awkward angles.

    Is it just me or is this the fight you'd rather watch and wish it was sooner?

    only if adamek had speed far superior to vitali this would be interesting, now I cant see any other result than vitali giving the guy a beating.
    Haye and wlad can shatter each others glass hence its more interesting.

    ademek looked average against kevin mcbride and looked beat up after michael grant....vitali will jab his head off...ademek will get stopped....he wont even win a round...its such a mismatch ...i like ademek, i respect what he has done..but reality will set it in after the first few rounds

    The two factors that nullify Adamek's speed and toughness are his lack of size (compared to VK) and his lack of power.

    crowd likes chance that unexpected ko may happen during the fight,a bit of thrill.
    the peoblem with Adamek is that he has no power to surprise the crowd and to knock down or hurt Vitali.
    all he can do is pepper Vitali hoping to win decision and for many people is not exciting enough

    What are you waffling on about? Adamek is shite at heavyweight. He has no power whatsoever. He might be a half decent boxer but what the **** is he going to do against Vitali? Outbox him? I don't think so. The fight has no intrigue because Adamek has no chance of winning it because he has no power. Not much speed either for his size.

    the thing is that adamek hasnt really been all that impressive or tested at heavyweight to say he could hang with Vitali. In order to negate the size difference and skill Vitali has along with the size, it will require someone with extraordinary skills and/or athleticism to beat him. Adamek is an average heavyweight in this era at best, but it doesn't change that he's still undersized which makes the uphill climb against a Klitschko even steeper. they should of made Haye/Adamek instead, its a much better, even match-up...even if Haye is a dud, which I believe he is.

    Your right. I think Adamek will make Vitali blink a few times. All he has to do is prevent from getting KO'ed & he could pull off the upset.

    well.considering how short period Adamek has been in heavyweight division he did excellent job...and he always has been underestimated in light ,in cruise
    as for Haye vs Adamek- dream fight

    doing an excellent job is good but is that enough when facing a guy who is utterly dominating everyone he's faced.

    Again, I'm not saying Adamek hasn't done well, considering circumstances. But I think he gets too much credit (in terms of ability) because he has come up in weight. When facing a 6'8 guy who who can be two weight classes ahead of him, that all goes out the window. Klitschko will still fight behind the jab, use distance, and not give an inch to Adamek.
