Green and Dawson shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. As for the weight drain excuse, that's bull**** IMO. Green used it as an excuse for being flogged by Mundine but anyone who reads forums like this remembers him before the fight raving about how he was better conditioned and had a better diet and felt greater under Salas. I can understand fighters using it to somehow justify a loss rather than admit a fighter is better than them.
The fight against Johnson was close but he won convincingly, if you score a fight by rounds as you're supposed to then Dawson wins comfortably. Yes he got stunned a couple of times and didn't fight the smartest fight but he came through and he's the sort of fighter to learn from his mistakes. Your claim about Adamek is laughable, he fought his whole career at light heavy and didn't have a problem with the weight until he comprehensively got his ass kicked. Wait... that reminds me of someone else :deal
If you'd seen the Johnson fight, you'd know it wasn't a convincing win. So your logic is that because Adamek fought most of his career at LHW (8 years in fact) it means he wasn't struggling with the weight by the time he fought Dawson? His success at CW would suggest that he is better suited to CW at this stage of his career than LHW wouldn't it? Or do you think it's a piece of cake to throw on an extra 25lbs and beat the top CW's? Of course, that sort of logic and sense doesn't fit in with your manlove of Dawson Suck it up hazey fantayzee :yep
Yeah he is suited better to CW at this stage of his career. But we are talking about when he fought Dawson. He made the light heavy limit with no problems. Do you think that maybe the problem for Adamek was that he had a guy in front of him that was too quick for him to get any meaningful work done? You talk about logic and sense but nothing you're saying has any of it. Adamek is doing well at Cruiser because he is faster than the naturally bigger guys and he has a good chin and punch like he always has.
Well the fights getting closer every day now and I am getting very keen......bring on Sunday artytime :woot Both fights are going to be good....for me its a double main event :good
this fight will be a so so fight. Green and the IBO have picked this opponent so cannot see too many problems. This is all being put together for the Green RJJ fight so to say it isn't going to happen is a bit silly. I will be much more interested when I see Green in the ring with an over the hill Jones then these 2 should be a big show in Melbourne
No he didn't, which is why he moved up and fought at CW 4 months later and has stayed there ever since. There are plenty of articles on the net that talk about this - just google 'adamek struggle weight' and you'll see - don't live in denial hayzee :nono Your 'logic' is that Adamek ran away from LHW because he knew he couldn't beat Dawson. Is it logical to suggest Adamek would flee his favoured division - like you said, the division he had fought all of his career at - because he thought he couldn't beat one man in Dawson, or does it make more sense to say that making LHW weight was getting too hard for him after 8 years and he realised he was better suited moving up to CW? You make sound as if Adamek would move back down to LHW tomorrow if Dawson moved out of the division...that's not very 'logical' hayzeee...
I never said anything of the sort. I'd say he left the division for a fresh start and because he believed he would do better there where he would be faster compared to the bigger guys. Let's face it Muttley, you're an internet troll who wants a reaction, you don't say anything that makes sense.
