No Height Advantage for Arreola vs Adamek. Only Fat Advantage

People saying Arreola is much taller than Adamek is all bull. Arreola's height is exaggareted by 2-3 inches. His cellulite is his only advantage. Adamek will not be outreached and will have a major advantage in the conditioning and speed department. If Adamek manages to survive the first six rounds, Arreola will be in deep waters conditioning wise, with a pretty skilled fighter, whos faced and won against much steeper opposition. Adamek needs to address his own conditioning issues, that have cropped out during his last match which i believe he will. Judge the apparently incredible size difference for yourselves:

Either Adamek is wearing some funky 70s platform shoes, or they're about thesame height.

 

It would dominate the headlines.

 

So now that Arreola's height advantage is a fantasy, what does he have left over Adamek on paper? Power? Both men have power and it would be foolish to suggest Adamek can't put CA on his ass. In all other areas, Adamek is the better, more proven fighter. Hops was right, in calling TA the winner of this fight.

 

Vitali toyed with a hapless Arreola, pretty much outclassing him in every single round. This fight only proved that when Arreola steps up, he fails miserably. Adamek's resume dwarfs Arreola's best wins over McCline and Minto. And that the latter gave him trouble is laughable as is the condition he showed up in that fight. Adamek was never hurt in his last fight. That's absurd. An Arreola KO possibility is all he's got. Adamek has that and much more. You talk about Adamek - a two division champ and ring champ- being overhyped? Remind me again, what has Arreola accomplished?

 

I'm not so sure. Arreola is not elusive and is rather easy to hit. See the fight against Walker and Minto in particular. IMO Arreola will be a lot easier to hit cleanly than Estrada, who was quite adept at rolling Adamek's punches the entire night.
