I can honestly say that I've never seen anything like it. I've been to 2 Golota fights, where the Polish fans showed up in great numbers & cheered the big guy on, but last night in Newark was something to behold. Practically the entire place (like 90%) was a sea of red & white. They were chanting Adameks name during the preliminaries. The 2 Polish fighters (Wilczewski & Masternak) who fought just before Adamek vs Gunn got the crowd going, but it was nothing like when Adamek entered the arena. I have never heard that kind of cheering/chanting, horn blowing from beer drinking, dedicated fans in my life. Just being there to witness the support for Adamek was more entertaining than the fights themselves Adamek beat up Gunn pretty badly before it was quickly over, to no ones surprise. Its gonna be interesting to see who he's gonna fight next, which should be a bigger name next outing. Maybe the rematch with Cunningham eveyone wants to see, or B Hop if enough $$$ is offered to Adamek, who truely deserves it. I'm still not too crazy about the move to HW, although I'm sure Adamek would school someone such as Chagaev, but can't imagine him having success against Wlad, but stranger things have happened. Whatever the future holds, Adamek has taking over control of New Jersey fight fans, which was the honor that Gatti once held. Simply put, it was an AMAZING event that I will never forget & absolutely can not wait for his next fight, which almost gauranteed will be at "The Rock"...The Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. The place Adamek now calls his home. :!:
And that's why he didnt take $500k to fight BHOP.He makes that on the live gate against a nobody just like last night.
lol GBP tried to run a little scam there. New Jersey (along with Montreal) is now the place to be for experiencing great boxing atmosphere. 7,000 fans (full capacity for this venue) put 80,000 German fans to shame.
Oh man, PP...if you could have only been there! I wanted to talk to every Polish fan there, but was able to chat with only a few. The Polish Babes were everywhere & a few were CRAZY HOT!!! I was even able to spot Dorota, Adameks wife, who looked stunning! I went into the bathroom to find insane laughter, when this drunken Pole dude is standing at a urinal with no pants on, only wearing white & red jocket shorts with the word Dupa on his rear. Guys were taking pictures of him with their phones. Funniest thing I've seen in a long time! I had no voice left & couldn't even yell, but the fans all around us were doing just fine. We moved down closer into some good seats, maybe 100ft or less from the ring. And when TA left the ring, the fans mobbed him & he had the biggest smile on his face. Must be incredible having 1000's of people screaming your name & showing so much support.
