    Just saw on the site i bet with that Adamek is paying $1.65 and Arreola $2.30.

    Thoughts?

    I will be getting on Arreola at that price!

    No he should not be. Arreola is the natural heavyweight and is hard puncher going up against a guy in Adamek who is easy to hit and has been hurt by fighters at light heavyweight and cruiserweight that weren't all that big punchers to begin with. And Adamek last fight left a lot to be desired going up against Arreola.

    I like Adamek and think he is the better fighter but at heavyweight he is out jurisdiction, in a pound for pound sense Adamek beats Arreola, but unfortunately this is head to head and Adamek loses by TKO.

    Adamek has only lossed to Chad Dawson.This one should be like watching Roy jones jr take apart John Ruiz or David Haye against Valuev

    Nah is 50/50... Thats why this fight is so intriguing...

    If adamek can take arreolas shots, and hurt him.... He is the real deal at heavy

    If adamek gets rocked by arreola and dosent take the shots well, his career will end....:hey

    Arreola's only chance at winning is to KO Adamek (and that's a tall order against a guy with a chin like that). When this happens 9/10 the more skilled fighter wins. Adamek's accomplishments and opposition is FAR above Arreola's. If Arreola manages to pull this off, it would be the biggest win of his career. His biggest wins are against scrubs like an old McCline, Walker and Minto. This pales in comparison to what Adamek has done. I don't blame anyone for seeing Adamek as the favorite here.

    As I've said before, don't put any bets down on either fighter until after the weigh in. Arreola's conditioning decides the winner in this one. If he comes to the ring in shape poor Adamek gets the **** pounded out of him... he comes in too fat and Adamek boxes his ears off.

    I'm sorry but Adamek isnt that great of a boxer and Arreola isnt has crude and skilless as some are making it out to be. I would really be impressed and suprised if Adamek wins. I just think Arreola's size, strenghts, workrate, pressure and power will be too much for Adamek.

    I also dont think Adamek is that much faster then Arreola and Arreola cuts off the ring pretty well. Adamek's defence also still sucks.

    If Arreola isn't so crude, how come he couldn't show any of his skills against Vitali. How come he went life and death with a gate keeper like Walker ? How is it that he had trouble with Minto? Is Adamek light years ahead of the latter two fighters? You better believe it.

    Ok first off many people find it hard to show skills vs VK. To say he went life and death with Walker is stupid he had one bad round and outside of that he whooped Walkers ass. And the only trouble Minto gave him was the fact that he was getting hit too much but Arreola walked right though him. Walker is 6'4/6'5 whos pretty quick and has decent skills. Minto is just so short that on the inside he was bangin short shots with those tiny arms.

    And neither guy made it past the 4th round so......

    Adamek has not fought anyone at heavyweight as good as Arreola. Golota was a shell and Estrada is pretty much just a gatekeeper now.
