    He looked in pretty darn good shape to me vs Stiverne. Chris just can't take a good shot on the chin.

    For Arreola, but if you saw any other HW enter the ring looking like Arreola in his last fight, you would say he was not in shape, right?

    If Arreola could get ripped, he would be a terror in the CW and LHW, but let's face it, that is never going to happen. He lacks the discipline.

    I think he can. Chris has a solid beard, but Stiverne throw punches like a monster.

    I agree JETSKI. I'm not as optimistic for Adamek this time around, and unfortunately, I *do* think he's that old. Maybe not age-wise, but Adamek has had a lot of wear and tear and never was exceptional when it came to avoiding big shots.

    Then again, the only heavyweight fight I truly thought Adamek looked outstanding in was his fight with Arreola, so who knows.

    :hi:Long time, no hear,Rums!:!: But then I'm not here as much as I used to be.

    Your right, Adamek isn't THAT old, but the wars he's been in have maybe taken its toll. Who knows, maybe he can turn back the clock a bit & give us one more good rumble.

    If he beats Arreola, who's next? Wlad or Stiverne???:shock:

    Good point, first fight was held in California, but Adamek is pretty established on the east coast now.

    Arreola hasn't got any worse since the first fight, he's the same old Arreola but Adamek has clearly declined.

    As long as Arreola comes in around 240lbs or below he may have enough to beat Adamek this time.

    handspeed, stamina, quickness...

    it all declines with age...

    Adamek should take a farewell fight and call it a day, he has enough money as it is and a family to look after, no need to take more punches and risk his health, he's already done much more than was expected of him in a division he doesn't belong in

    I hear what your saying. He got beat up pretty bad last fight. Arreola could really put Adamek out cold. And to do that, he'd have to have his brain rattled a lot! And I don't wanna see that happen...

    I don't see what the winner gains here in terms of standing, so its more like a farewell fight to me.

    Arreola will not be motivated and will turn up a fat lump....... again

    Copy and paste for all his remaining fights

    Both guys are past it, but Adamek seems pretty damn far, further than Arreola, from his top HW form.

    Honestly, I don't know, but I'd pick Arreola if I had to.
