    Th Klitschkos are the ones to get by now to be on top.

    Adamek is on PEDs and Arreola is on BLTs.

    Im getting more confidence about adamek winning this one after every article and relation from his traning camp i read. , It looks like they re doing a very good job with sheilds , concentrating on stamina, In& out fighting , avoiding big rights by getting out of range fast after every combo. Thats exactly whot they should be doing.

    And that average performance against estrada was also effect of all that additional mass adamek gained before the fight, it was simply 2 much , but he has already lost like half of it which is a good sign for me , here are his recent photos http://www.bokser.org/content/2010/03/24/181029/index.jsp

    I DO NOT like this match up for Adamek at all. As much as he tries to box, when he starts getting tagged he starts exchanging. You see how well that worked for the likes of Walker, Witherspoon, and Minto. Yes Walker dropped him but all that did was **** Chris off and not to long afterwards the fight is over.

    I see Adamek having good success boxing Arreola and winning rounds that way, but unless Arreola respects Tomas' power he will pick up the pace and start to overwhelm him. He has done so to fighters naturally bigger than Adamek. Plus Chris has an iron chin. Vitali couldn't deter him and he hit him with EVERYTHING. He had to stick with his counterpucnhing strategy to batter Chris enough for his corner to stop it. Vitali Klitschko is a 6' 7" 250 lb man with substantial physical advantages and great experience making his awkward style work for him to counteract Chris' pressure. Adamek is a completely different style and you cannot expect him to replicate that. At some point he will get hit and will exchange with Arreola... he'll have little choice.

    This was a great gamble by Adamek's management. A very dangerous fight that could catapault him to a title shot or send him down to cruiserweight like it did Brian Minto. Against either Klitschko Adamek only has as much chance as Haye does of winning(30%) I really like Adamek and wish him the best but I think this fight is bad news for him. Maybe in retrospect I'll think differently.

    People who have dismissed Adamek cuz he didn't blow estrada out of the water or KO him are very uninformed imo.

    Style wise no one is going to look good or 'dominate' him aside from a Klitschko and in something like 300 amteur fights and all his pro fights he's never been dropped. Not KO'ing Estrada who has a great chin, solid D, and is hard to hit flush is not saying anything about Adamek's power.

    I agree that whether or not he can hurt Chris is the obvious key to the fight. He needs to at least be able to get Chris's respect.

    Please. Putting on 10-15lbs of muscle for Adamek who is naturally 200-205 is nothing. He's 31/32 and a pro athlete. Absurd.

    I'm hoping this fight is of Liakhovic-Brewster proportions. Might mean that one or both will never be the same afterwards if that is the case :-(

    This is one of the best fights in the divison and for pure action it could be one of the better fights in boxing. I think Arreola is going to win and maybe even by stoppage. I think Adamek's size is going to hurt him in there. Despite Arreola's love of coming in overweight he is still a big heavyweight.

    Either I'm terrible at picking Adamek fights, I underate him, or both because I thought Estrada, Cunningham, Bell, and Dawson would all beat him as well and only Dawson did the trick. But thats one of the reasons I like Adamek, he is more than willing to take tough fights. But I'm not quite sold on him as one of the top heavyweights, and Arreola is one. Arreola by mid-late ko.

    Travis Walker!!

    After seeing Adamek and Arreola face to face(thought Adamek would be much smaller) and with Walker recently getting KO'd(AGAIN)my confidence in Adamek's chances of winning has grown by a little.
