    According to Dan..:patsch

    "What makes McBride an attractive opponent for Adamek, besides the fact that Adamek will be heavily favored, is that he is 6-foot-6, which is similar to the Klitschko brothers.

    Adamek and his team have wanted him to gain experience against tall opponents before he fights one of the brothers for the title, which is one of the reasons he was matched with former title challenger Michael Grant in August and now with McBride."

    I'm sure Dans view on McBride would have been the same if he has fighting Haye....

    this fight is a farce imo


    it will look bad for adamek to be moving around the ring against a clearly overweight shot fighter instead of walking into him and destroying him as could easily be done.


    anyway, good luck to adamek. id like to see him beat klitschko just to bring some excitement to the division and then beat haye. mostly unlikely but **** heres hoping

    I think Rafael is excellent on Ringside though.

    If I was Adamek I would have gone for someone like Hoffman he is big but still has something in the tank would have been a much better option.

    Very hypocritical of Rafael, maybe he is taking it easy on Adamek because he has signed to fight a Klit next. Who knows?

    Rafael probably also likes the KFC Double Down - that doesn't change the fact that it, and he, and Adamek-McBride are all ****ing disgusting.

    Who gives a ****ing **** how tall they are? McBride was never more than a journeyman and he is shot to pieces. He could be 6'6" or 8'6" for all the use he will be in the ring. He should get destroyed.

    I don't know why this fat ****ing wanker has a job. No journalist should support this disgraceful farce of a fight. It's an embarrassment to the sport and I feel for the Polish casual fans who will be sold that it's a genuine fight, when it clearly isn't.

    To give you an idea about how Adamek's team rate his chances, they've rejected Rahman because he's too high risk, in favour of McBride. Talking about feeding him to the wolves...

    If Adamek thinks fighting McBride will be similar to fighting a Klitschko, he's going to get his head caved in.

    Dan Rafael and Burt Sugar are two of the most respected boxing journalists in the World and yet one is a complete and utter twat and the other the biggest billy bullshitter in the sport...

    Julius Long is 7 feet, yet almost everyone beats him. Ustinov and Peter knocked him out in the first round, although he gave Solis a decent fight that went the distance. McBride was get knocked out by Adamek!

    I think Peter Ustinov could have knocked out Julius Long...
