Where do you see that? All I see is that they will force Vitali to face Solis before Adamek. Good job WBC, fudging over one of the few big time HW events.
Its a good move. He is now at #1 in WBO ranks. If he doesnt fight Vitali or Haye soon, he will have to fight Wlad. And Vitali now is a better fight for Adamek. Haye doesnt want a part of Adamek, since he can milk his fans in UK with his championship fights. Adamek is not that high in the WBA ranks too, to become a mandatory.
Most recent update is that Vitali will fight winner of Solis-Austin first, not Adamek. This was ruled by the WBC. WBC President Jose Sulaiman initially favored Vitali-Adamek first, and got in such a heated discussion with King, that Sulaiman briefly resigned, before reaching the agreement. Vitali and the winner will have 11 days after the Solis-Austin fight to reach an agreement. If none can be made, the purse bid will be held Dec 28th.
I actually hope Vitali (and Wladimir) should not be aired on our channel. Fu** Ross Greenburg! Yes folks i said it! The Brothers should go their own path. We refused them for too long and now its too late... Adamek and Vitali, 2 East-europeans for the Heavyweight Championship in the USA? Something seems wrong with that. Larry
Adamek is great for the sport, but he's going to fight on the outside vs. Vitali and just get picked apart, losing by corner stoppage. Should be a good show though, I like watching Vitali fight, his brother Wlad is another story.
Anyone paying attention? It looks like this fight is NOT happening....at least not on March 17th. Most recent update is that Vitali will fight winner of Solis-Austin first, not Adamek. This was ruled by the WBC. WBC President Jose Sulaiman initially favored Vitali-Adamek first, and got in such a heated discussion with King, that Sulaiman briefly resigned, before reaching the agreement. Vitali and the winner will have 11 days after the Solis-Austin fight to reach an agreement. If none can be made, the purse bid will be held Dec 28th.
Solis won't give Vitali any trouble... I see Solis lasting 7, maybe 8. Adamek I can see hanging in there a long time, frustrating Vitali a bit with his movement and potshotting. Vitali wins a closer than expected decision.
...Wait...So...he's NOT resigning after all? But...I had a party planned...with balloons...and silly string...and a mime...a mime we were all going to beat the **** out of after I filled his pockets with candy and gum and gave everyone sticks...:|
As I said before,King will NOT allow Adamek first crack at Klit.King owns the WBC and Suliaman and actually forced poor Jose to change his decision.Unbelievable but true.
i'd hate to see Adameks career shortened vs Vitali, Haye-Adamek a much better option which Im surprised HBO isnt pushing cause they know after that Adamek would def take $$$ to fight either Klitschko. my guess is hbo is tired of haye's bs too. heck too bad Adamek didn't beat haye to Valuev, that wouldve been much more interesting.
