    At 10-1, what the heck let me pick Micheal Grant by upset. It should be a bash and hopefully I can pick up me some cash.

    Adamek may not put the hurt (we shall see. You might be right as Bloodworth will want him to box smart), but he will win, something that Golota was not very good at, at the top echelons (Bowe, Grant, Byrd, Ruiz etc etc). The quality of boxing and the win is what count the most. And don't sell Adamek's power short on the basis of him not hurting two of the strongest beards in the sport (Estrada, Arreola).


    People should watch to see an ass kicking, schooling and the best fan atmosphere (along with the Bell Center) currently in boxing.


    All indications point to an Adamek UD. However, I think all people would agree that Grant is an under-achiever and for a long time he's been under the radar (yet pretty active) so no one knows what he's bringing to the table here. Some people are just late bloomers (ask Glen Johnson).

    Gotta believe Adamek wins, but who knows what Grant has left being that he has fought so infrequently and at a low level over the past few years. I think it's a little bit of a dangerous fight because Grant could well have some left (due to the aforementioned inactivity) and you know he's gotta be hungry as this is his last shot to ever be relevant and make some money (don't know how much of the decent money he made 10 years ago is left). His trainer is talking a good game at least as to what he sees, and Grant's chin shouldn't be too much of a factor and he's huge and was athletic and decently skilled (for his size) at one time

    Adamek is going to make a statement and knock him the fuk out. I have no doubt about it. He's been working on his power since the arrela fight, and now is the right time to use it.

    He's a ****in brutal fighter, dont let his last 2 fights fool you, against estrada he bulked up too much and was in shitty shape against defensively very good fighter with great chin. And against arrela he just knew he has to box or he'll be taken out,.

    But this time its different, trust me this will be the old good brutal rough adamek going for the kill and Gran doesnt own the kind of cheen to survive it. Just remind urself what has he done to that slow defencless Golota, 0 mercy. Adamek ktfo 7

    Grant was way overrated even in his prime.

    No defence + no chin = no success against top opponents.

    And now he is old, slow and didn't really improve at all. The only thing he has is size (and no idea how to use it) and power. The odds, favouring Adamek heavily, seems to be about right IMO.

    That was Adamek? I always thought it was how Tyson escaped from prison and he came to get his belts back.
