    Look at the pics from the press conference

    Estrada is listed at 6'1 and Adamek i'v seen listed from 6'1 - 6'1 3/4. I imagine that adamek is at least 6'2 and Estrada probably more like 6'0 give or take half an inch.

    Here is a pic from the same day, Estrada is wearing Work boots, i couldn't find one showing Adamek's shoes but i imagine he wasn't wearing the same kind of boots. So the height difference is probably even greater than in the photos.

    Tomasz looks to be at least 2" taller and that is with Estrada wearing work boots. Same thing with Eddie Chambers, no way is he 6'1 i'd be shocked if he was a legit 6'0. What's with all the americans bullshitting their height?

    Just something i noticed.

    an inch is quite a few centimetres... so if you have a short 6'1 and a high 6'2 you can get as many as 5 cm!

    Adamek has at times refereed to himself as 6'3" even though I've seen him regularly listed at 6'1". Either way, 6'2.5" or 6'3", there's still ~1.5" difference, which is roughly the height of a nose.

    Estrada's nick name is Big Six - he is big for someone who is 6 feet tall.:deal
    So i assume Estrada is 6'0 and Adamek is 6′ 1½″ :D

    Estrada is an out of shape club fighter with good pedigree and fast hands.
    Nothing more or less. Adamek is a world champion caliber fighter who has grown into the heavyweight division just fine. Couple that with estrada's weak punch power, and you can't help but favor adamek for the "w"
    However, an estrada points win isn't a stretch. I still have my reservations about an adamek win because of styles in this one.
