http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128393 Today in polish press you can see infos about it, but still unofficial, tho Adamek's manager - Ziggy Rozalsky confirms the news. Let's make this fight in white&red RODACY ! greetings,
11th July in MSG. They already agreed on the money, HBO accepted the fight, few details to set. In two weeks we should have officiall anouncment.
Some serious polish news are reporting that, and even ppl close to the adamek camp. Let's hope it works out, what a fight it would be!
If Hopkins pulls this off, no doubt. I actually think he might do it, but it won't be easy. Adamek is a much better boxer than Pavlik, he carries a much bigger punch, and he's more active. This is going to be an extremely difficult fight for Hopkins, but it's winnable. On the flip side, if Adamek fights the right fights, it is equall winnable for him. I kind of want Adamek to win, but I can't see myself ever rooting against Hopkins.... What a dilemma!
Yeah I kind of like this Adamek guy myself. He seems like a old school type of fighter willing to take on anybody at any given time. I just hope Hopkins aint under the premise that Adamek is just a bigger version of Kelly Pavlik. This guy has some serious skills and major pop in both hands. B-Hop may be in for a long night
Adamek never avoids a challenge. He's like Mosley in that regard. I think you're right. Adamek is better than Pavlik in every way imaginable. This will be an extremely tough fight for Hopkins.
