Just read on some polish sites interview with him and he says Jamel McCline sent in his offer and Adamek actually thinks this is a good B level (that's right he called him B level) opponent for him. Can't believe some people are still supporting this bs Adamek is delivering since Arreola fight (the only decent and meaningful fight he had in hw). I hate how this guy disrespects his fans, playing patriotic card just to get their money (who would come to watch Maddalone, McBride if not polish fans). His team insisted on making Klitschko fight ppv. Germany and Ukraine had it for free, but patriot Adamek wanted to milk us and what's even worse he admits now that he wasn't even ready for that fight, but he couldn't refuse Klitschko offer. One more funny thing, asked about Haye's retirement, Adamek answered "I don't believe he made enough money to retire". So don't expect Adamek giving any good fights anymore, now it wil be all about securing a payday with Wladimir.
Adamek shouldn't waste his time on this bum. I'm loosing respect for him. And I'm telling this, Adamek's fan.
After taking the worst beating of his life he needs an easy tune up fight. I have no problem with McCline. After this fight tho he needs to step it up and fight a live contender, he should go after Povetkin, I would be very interested in seeing that, we all know Povetkin will never fight Wlad so Pov-Adamek should materialize...
It doesn't matter, Adamek won't capture a world title unless he waits around for Vitali to retire anyway.
I'm ok with a tune up fight, but 42 year old b-class fighter in his prime, now 3 years without boxing, is not a tune up fight, it's a disgrace. I would suggest Firtha, maybe Fields.
McCline was Bclass in his prime. But the guy had ALL the tools to become the man had he dedicated his life to the sport. He was typically coming in 20lbs heavier than he should have been, a recipe for disaster for a guy whose movement was already limited by his gross muscle mass....adding 20lbs of packed fat on top of it killed him. Have to add him to my underachievers list. He coulda gone much further with the proper training for big fights.:-(
Lol at people kidding themselves that this is a tune up fight. Have you not heard of Adamek before or something?
Adamek is fantastic. Love the guy. More balls than Haye for sure. He should fight anyone who wants some and earn another title shot unlike Haye who demanded one.
I'd really like to see Adamek drop the 10 lbs of fat he's carrying and return to dominating the CW division. I guess $$$$$ is his driving force now, his legacy must mean nothing to him.:-(
He has balls, but no tools and now I even doubt his heart. When asked about Klitschko fight Adamek says he didn't even watch it, doesn't seem to care much, says it wasn't him that night or he wasn't ready, yet he already talks about fighting Wladimir.
When would that happen ... I thought that he wants his next fight to be in March? If Adamek think seriously about come back he need to have his easy fight this year, so then McCline is a fair option (strong tall, another McBride type). In March he should fight life contender the best would be to settle highest possible position in WBA so he can fight Povetkin later 2012. If actually McCline is going to happen in March then it will be a serious DeCline.
