I feel he is an elite fighter. This man takes on hard competition. He has the speed at cruiserweight. He beat a fine bioxer in Cunningham and he beat a big guy, big puncher in Banks. He has the ability to solve problems, beat a big powerful guy tonight. Israel Vazquez takes too many head shots but it's not only taking shots but how you respond when you get hit. Like in rd 8, Adamek jolted, so he goes and stops the guy in the same round.
Wow..very happy for Adamek. I'm a little pissed I missed this fight as Im skiing in Killington VT for the week. Appreciate the always reliable commentary fells.
We haven't really seen David Haye at HW either. He hasn't fought anyone at all. So how could you even tell? He fought an old washed up Monte Barrett and an Audley Harrison Ko victim. Haye is a ******, who tries to fight like Roy Jones. But doesn't have half the talent and gets hit by punches like against Fragomeni and Mormeck (who really gave him a tough fight). Vlad is going to kill this guy and easily.
He's got that magic. Very few fighters have that magic today in boxing, Arthur Abraham does. Adamek is a top10 puncher in my book, he's getting STRONGER for every fight.
Umm no not really. A Golota vs Adamek fight would be HUGE in Poland. Hell, even in Chicago or Newark. Put that ***** on PPV and your bound to get a lot of buys imo.
That's been his key at CW. Did it against Cunni and especially tonight. He adjusts on the fly and is resilient enough to pull it off. This was missing against Dawson. Maybe it was Buddy. Can you imagine Adamek trying to understand him?
blah, blah, blah, safe analysis. Where were you before the fight to appraise it then? About 25% of people here said Banks would win and another significant bunch were saying he was too big for Adamek. But I guess you can identify with that.
And also some great boxing and speed vs Bell. Bell being the former undisputed champ, in fact the 1st undisputed champ since Holyfield. Bell's last fight was a narrow loss to Mormeck in France when they shortened some rds to let Mormeck survive...Bell may have been rusty when he fought Adamek but it was a big achivement outboxing Bell so easily, dropping him atthe start of the fight and making him quit. I think Dawson at cruiser would be a great fight for Adamek (not Hopkins). Adamek, fit and healthy at cruiser rather than drained at light heavy, MIGHT land earlier or more often. Adamek had Dawson down on Tomasz's worst ever night. Better chance to win at 200-pounds. But I don't think the excellent Dawson - who has it all at light heavy - would give Adamek that chance. As he doesn't have to. This is how guys like Vazquez do well, they persevere, improve and then they get the fights at the right weight.
