Wow Haye's power and chin just get better with each and every passing fight. Dont kidd yourself Adamek could without question put Haye on his ass.
LOL at all the guys picking Haye to brutalize Adamek in round 1. Clearly heaps of biased Brits in this thread that have watched 1 Haye highlight video too many. I understand picking Haye to win, and have no problem with anybody doing so. But to be of such high confidence that he will dispatch Adamek as if he was a Tomasz Bonin like fighter is a complete and total joke.. just because they have the same name doesnt mean ****.
I disagree. David Haye typically starts pretty fast in fights, and Adamek has shown to have vulnerable punch resistance as a Heavyweight. I think Haye holds virtually every possible advantage physically, and would land more often than not with his superior size, strength, speed, and mobility. That's the way I see it. I'm a fan of Adamek. This is just a wrong match-up for him. He seems uncomfortable and less effective as a Heavyweight.
I believe both of them are vunerable, but I think Haye has infinitely greater chance of landing his punches. Adamek has been shown to fade late in most of his fights at Heavyweight. He was breathing very heavily midway through last night...and his work rate wasn't anything to write home about. Adamek's grit and workrate will probably get him stopped early if he was to fight David Haye. In my humble, non-biased, opinion.
I think Adamek was exposed last night. He would be in a bad place if he fought either Klitchko brother. He would have been hit with 50 jabs by the 6th round instead of getting inside like he was. I really like Adamek, i really like watching him fight and I love his heart and work ethic but he's not fast enough to beat either of the big Ukrainians.
I said I think Adamek might struggle to get out of the first round. It could conceivably go on for a lot longer, I just don't think Adamek's whiskers would allow that to happen.
Adamek vulnerable punch resistance? He walked through huge shots of hard hitting Arreola, survived a monster of a right against Grant, that would have shattered Hayes head. Took bombs from Cunningham, Banks, Briggs, and smiled back and gave some more of his own. His punch resistance if anything is the LAST thing that needs to be questioned. Adamek has the mobility, and most of all intelligence to weather Hayes storm, not to mention when Haye opens up he is wide open for a counter, and Adamek is a master of taking advantage of that. If all that fails, his superior chin is there as well for the chance that Haye does land a huge shot. That is Hayes real only chance to be honest. He will not outpoint Adamek. He has to hope for a KO.
Adamek was a LHW not so long ago. He was in there with a 6'7 250lbs guy, so its a natural that he would get rocked by shots! However, Adamek impressed me by biting down & rallying when required! Adamek will fight anyone in the HW division, & we have to respect such an attitude! He wants to put himself to the test against anyone! Sure, he didn't KO Grant or even stop him, but he displayed solid durability, & he has heart, guts & determination!
no, because haye wouldnt be stupid enough to get caught with wide telegraphed shots by a 38 year old has been who's been irrelevant for years.
Addie, I agree with you that if Adamek fights Haye, he is in big troubles in the early rounds. However if he survives, it will be Haye who is in troubles. Its really hard fight to predict, but as far as Adamek was never knocked out, I bet that he takes it. If I had been wrong, Haye would have fought Adamek already, because it would be the biggest possible payday for David Haye that not include fighting against any Klitschko.
