    I know it sounds premature to even talk about it due to his fight on Staurday, and I get alot of crticism for thinking that he'll beat Adamek but I really feel that Enzo would be too big, tall and powerful for him. Enzo always finds it hard to deal with slick counter puncher fighters and Adamek ain't one of them.... Adamek wears his opponents down wheras Enzo just knocks them out.... provided they don't move alot around the ring. so I'd expect a dog war with Enzo winning in the mid rounds.:good

    Nope not for me Adamek would have to much for Enzo. To beat Adamek you have to box well for 12 rounds and be disciplined and he still finds a way to get to your chin. It be a great fight though but i see Enzo being stopped on feet in round 6-7.

    But Adamek would have to take Enzo's punches aswell.... and as last Saturday's fight with Gunn proved.... Enzo is the bigger puncher without doubt.... plus he has a clear reach advantage over him too.

    Adamek will be able to take what Enzo could give and Enzo wouldnt be able to take what Adamek can dish out.

    Also Adamek is an underated boxer. Yes he isnt no Ivan Calderon but his boxing skills are certainly as good as Enzo's, hell they are better.

    If they did fight i think Enzo may wobble Adamek in the first couple of rounds but i could see Adamek gradually breaking Enzo down to a mid rounds stoppage.

    In what way do you feel Adamek more skillful than Enzo?

    Imo Adamek just took his time in there on Saturday and basically relaxed in there. He has craft he cuts ring off well has good hooks and has good enough jab and a sneaky right hand. Yes he would walk into Enzos punching range but Adamek is willing to take punishment and also forces fighters to fight out of there comfort zone.

    It's ok Enzo having the reach but it's up to him to use it and he has that bad habit of pulling back up after throwing and Adamek's a good thinker.

    I just think he is the overall better fighter, plus his durability will always help him out in situations where he is lost on skills (except for the Dawson fight).

    I like Enzo but i think if he wins this saturday he may get another title shot, perhaps lose and call it a day.

    Enzo has only ever fought two quality Cruisers in his career, Braithwaite and Haye. He looked good against Braithwaite and boxed very well and we all know what happened against Haye.

    Adamek has only been at cruiserweight for the last few years and he has already faced and beaten better fighters.

    Just my opinion.:good

    I think Enzo went in for kill whereas Tomasz went in to box and find range and give the fans something to see he knew Gunn was a easy win and could of stopped him at any moment for me. It's ok comparing fights but it doesn't work like that for me. Enzo hasn't knocked out any top level fighters where as Adamek has. Enzo has power but when he comes up against fighters who can take it to him he struggles.

    I just see Adamek walking into range moving head and parrying Enzo's shots and dipping and landing right hands and hooks.

    Adamek, Cunningham, Huck, Afolabi, Alekseev, are superior talents than Macca.
     
  14. I think Adamek has too much for Enzo.
