What a pathetic performance. Adamek is easily the worst #2 Ring-rated HW in modern HW history. He looked a complete bum - a bum with courage tbf, but a bum nevertheless. He's got NOTHING on Haye who fought a similarly passive fight against the currently younger, prime, faster, harder-hitting and overall better brother and didn't look hurt once the entire fight despite absorbing a couple of serious bombs. In fact, it was Wlad who was rocked in round 12. Adamek has no business at HW and should return to CW immediately if he's out for legacy and not for money. Any top 10 heavy beats him including slim Arreola. His chin might hold up at 200lbs but he's definitely WAY too fragile for HW as would be Cunningham who considered moving up lately. Vitali looked like he could have ended the fight anytime he wanted from round 1 onwards.
Just a stupid post. Vitali came in lighter than usual and he was in stellar shape. VK looked stronger than he had in a long time.
Sorry to insult, but I think this Adamek beats Fres Oquendo any day of the week, so Tomas isn't the worst of all time. I think you don't realize who some former top ranked contenders were.
Adamek ain't got nothing on him though. Stellar shape or not. I've seen this coming all along and not that much because of the size but because of his style. Holyfield and Tyson are similar sized but their styles make them succesful. Adamek is not used to fighting bigger guys. IMO, he just doesn't know how.
how can you call adamek a bum? he has won titles at 2 weights he was just too small he put in a better performance than any of the natural heavyweights have in the past few years cause at least he tried to come back punching
That's fair but him being amongst the worst Ring #2 heavies wasn't the most signicant part of my post. He was courageous but performed as poor as you can perform. If Vitali were less of a sadist he would have finished him off in round 2 without having received a single power punch.
You comparing him to ****in' fraud Haye? Haye should retire in embarrassment, with what he showed in his last fight.
why bring Haye into this? Even a Blind man can see that adamek CANT FIGHT TALL FIGHTERS. Haye aint that tall.
Nearly everybody knew what was guna happen, we saw how Adamek was able to get past the slow fat ****s in the division to get him up the rankings but putting him in with a lean strong dangerous Vitali was only guna ever have one outcome. I saw McBride and Arreola and other slow heavyweights land on him, and land big, and thought if they could hit the target Vitali would too. Have complete respect for Adamek, loads of it but always knew he could climb out of the pack to face the best but was never guna be able to beat the best. And i think Haye would beat him too.
Haye not only destroyed Adamek, but put in a better performance against the quicker, more powerful brother.
Adamek showed us against Old Grant & Shot McBride, that he has serious struggles against tall superheavyweights, which would be exposed against a high quality one; namely a Klitschko brother.
