Tomasz Adamek is such an ordinary fighter, any world class heavyweight should have no problem defeating him. I love the man's willingness to fight a lot and take on anyone, but he is severely lacking skills. Eddie Chambers with 1 hand, made him look so foolish. Old man Vitali Klitschko toyed with him like a small child. I hear some people saying they want Arreola to take on Wlad. Why? If he got clearly outboxed by Tomasz Adamek, what makes you think Arreola can handle an ATG heavyweight in his prime?
When you shadow box with 5 pounds burritos in each hand using bacon strip hand wraps and cardio jogs to and from the taco bell across the street you know you're lacking in dedication.
Newsflash: Arreola isn't good. And no, it isn't because he's overweight. In shape, he still wouldn't be very good. He simply isn't a good boxer.
I saw the fight... I honestly thought Arreola beat Adamek.. he hurt Adamek a few times and I din't think Adamek did enough to be awarded the decsision. To Arreola's credit, he didn't complain about the decision and even said he lost in the post fight interview, but I still feel he won the fight. Adamek is nothing special. He's got balls for fighting Vitali but he's just to small to fight in today's heavyweight division. Haye is small too but Haye is elusive, fast and one of the best punchers in the sport P4P... Adamek is none of those things. I think he should move back down to cruiser and try to become the unified champion.
i was at an espn card in reno for memorial day weekend last year. and bumped into his trainer henry ramirez at silver legacy casino. i asked him about that fight and the klitchko fight. he said chris barely did any training for the fight. said he'd come to the gym every other day for about an hour and half if even that. rest of time he was enjoying life. said there were days he'd not show up without calling and left him in the gym. he said he thought he'd get away with it but still didn't like his chances for the adamek fight because he's bascically not a heavyweight and figured if chris landed cleanly adamek would not be able to withstand his punches. he said for the klitchko fight it was a terrible feeling going in knowing arreola didn't had a better chance of getting vitali pregnant than getting that title.
im surprised he could break his hands considering they are padded by about 10 pounds of soft fat, and his fingers look like sausages
