I predict a real hard fought battle, but from a nuetral fan point of view, Arreola will seem to get the best of it....but Adamek will win via another points win where the "draw type" cry by the ESB members will emerge. I predict Arreola will get a KD around the 9th, but i still think Adamek's will, determiation and toughness will outlast him and get a win via Split Descision. This fight will be a war.
Well if its a close decision they might give it too Arreola hes fighting in his backyard Ontario is less than 20 minutes from his hometown, he has fought at the venue a few times. Chris is gonna knock him out in 7 or 8 though.
I'll probably be routing for Adamek here (only slightly), but I have a feeling Arreola will be too much for him. I just feel Arreola will be the tougher of the two in what I expect to be a real war from the start
That is true..but you have to take into account that Boxing is more Buisness than Sport. HBO realize that they have a bad Heavyweight cover boy, and thats one of the main reasons why this fight was made. It was made to show WHO REALLY deserves that HBO HW spot...Arreola or Adamek. Plus, despite being in his hometown, Arreola is comming to the ring as a challanger.
Adamek has not won a HW title belt yet. Both men are challengers, or more appropriately, contenders, and neither is a champion at HW.
Brawling with Arreola would be rather dumb. Adamek will be picking his shots and moving out of the way if he's smart.
Niether has Arreola. This point is irrelevant. Adamek is a PROOVEN FIGHTER. Arreola is not. Adamek won belts at 2 weight classes already, whilst Arreola's resume consists of some wins over some bums and getting destroyed by a old Klitschko. Arreola has more claim to be a challanger than Adamek has, just like Ruiz had vs. Jones.
