Bashed? You're crazy his fans will have you believe he's the best heavyweight ever, Ali, Tyson, Lewis, both Klitschko's would all be beaten by him because he beat their idol Golota (who was never anything special). Truth is he would get Ko'd brutally by both Klitschkos and even Arreola, he should go back down to cruiser before he puts on too much weight and it becomes impossible.
Seriously don't talk to me like I am some kind of novice. I know the differences between the two. I like Adamek more than Haye, and actually favor the Pole over the Brit, but it is BS like this that turns people off.
Just give him his respect, that's all. And nobody, even his fanboys don't think he will beat the Klits so check your info before making a dumbass of yourself
I think Adamek needs to get solid at his weight for HW competing. He seemed a bit soft after moving up to 220lbs. What he needs to do now is loose a little % of body fat & convert that to muscle. That would maybe put him at 217/218lbs of dynamite. I still think he can win a HW title, but not in the shape he was last night vs Estrada, thats for sure.
Agreed, Adamek's best weight is probably 215, there is no reason for him to try and compete with these guys based off of bulk alone. A 209lb Chambers clearly beat a 250+lb Dimitrenko. I actually wouldn't mind seeing Adamek vs Chambers, I think that would be a very interesting fight, and fights with Arreola and Povetkin could prove very entertaining as well.
I'm no kind of expert but I think he shoul weight no more than 210 lbs. He was a lot more dinamic and explosive and had better timing at CW. He won't be a puncher so he should worry about his speed
Yeah he should be the weight he was for Golota. Very fluid quick, Had his power. It paid dividends for Chambers and Povetkin and Haye to get in great shape even at a weight with big men and no limit. I still think he beat Areolla no matter what.
Adamek's awesome. He's old school and lays it all on the line every fight but he's just not that great and got overated after his barely win over Cunningham. I'd pick Cunningham in a rematch vs Adamek, he was schooling Adamek in the rounds he didn't get knocked down down in, if he fights smarter and doesn't opt to trade with Adamek he beats him by wide UD.
you're wrong. I have been on this board for years, and I never recall any Adamek fan making those kinds of comparisons. Please find one thread where anyone says Adamek can beat those people. Recent talks about Klitchkos have been very catious - at most his fans say Adamek may have a chance and most say he probably does not. This is actually a lot more sobber than what Haye fans' have been saying about their fighter. you're just a hater plain and simple.
That statement gets recycled a little too much and its just nonsense. How can a fighter school someone for 9 rounds and still lose the fight? But the rematch is a toss up - I agree.
Agree to a degree. Adamek Cunningham rematch is a toss up. At the time I watched it live I thought Adamek squeezed it out but it was clear who won. Every time I rescore it gets closer and closer. A rematch is hard to say because I felt Cunningham gave everything he had and came up short where as probably had room to improve for the rematch. Either man can win. Adamek has had trouble with fast skilled guys like Dawson, and Cunnigham, and Banks but I couldnt see Cunningham win wide like you said.
Dawson gets bashed on this site all the time even though he has a win over Adamek. So, if Adamek gets bashed on here even though he was the #1 in the Cruiserweight division, I am not surprised at anything anymore.
There is a difference between simply bashing him and making objective observations. Anybody bashing him is an idiot. There were concerns last night. His strength, power, maybe even conditioning towards the end were questionable.
