Scouse Boxer gets Commonwealth Shot

adamu is no afro bum anyway

 

tough fight for him

just seen his record and saw that adamu ran froch close a few years back

 

Dilks moving down to Super Middle to avoid Bellew...................shame he will have to fight Groves in 2010 for it.

Could do a Liverpool Super Mid Tournement. Smith vs Dodson and Quigley vs Dilks. Winners fight for both belts.

 

this is on the Sky Sports card that includes Soswinski vs Vidoz for the European heavyweight title and Audley Harrision.

Adamu is tough. He was putting it on Froch until Froch got the knockdown and it turned things around but it was still close and tough.

 

Liverpool’s Carl Dilks takes a big step-up in class when he takes on Ghanaian iron man Charles Adamu for the vacant Commonwealth super-middleweight title at York Hall on December 18.
Matchroom promotes.
In 14 outings Dilks has lost only to Shaw’s Darren Stubbs in the semis-finals of Prizefighter light-heavyweight earlier this year - a three-rounder in which Dilks was originally declared the winner - and outscored Sheffield’s Billy Boyle over 10 rounds last time out in September at his natural super-middleweight. At 26 the aggressive, heavy handed, hardworking Dilks is definitely on the rise and was definitely robbed of a place in the Prizefighter final (where Tony Oakey licked Stubbs) and a chance to win £25,000, but this is a gamble against Adamu, who has dragged the likes of Otis Grant, Carl Froch and Vitali Tsypko the full 12 rounds and previously held the same Commonwealth super-middleweight belt, a belt he lifted by outscoring Southampton stylist Matthew Barney over 12 rounds back in 2003, also at York Hall.
Rugged, strong, brave and technically adept, Adamu lost the belt in his first defence to Froch in 2004 – but gave Froch hell in there, and it was only in the last few rounds that the Nottingham man, fighting in Nottingham, really managed to get on top. Froch is the reigning WBC super-middleweiught champion, of course.
A 2000 Olympian (where he beat another Liverpool man, Courtney Fry), the 32-year-old Adamu has been quite inactive in recent years and was outscored in his last fight by South Africa’s Isaac Chilemba in South Africa in September 2008 – but again it took 12 hard rounds for Chilemba to come out on top. Team Dilks is obviously banking on all Adamu’s inactivity – on all his former wars - in making this match. It is bound to be exciting as the tough-looking Dilks, an ex-squaddie nicknamed “Dynamite”, ploughs forward and meets Adamu head on, but one wonders if the match is a consolation for Dilks for the whole Prizefighter thing, where he looked to have clearly beaten Stubbs but was then told to pack his bags after a judging error surfaced which made Stubbs the winner.
One wonders if the Scouser is ready.

 

its not an article. he responds to every thread in that style.

A clash of imports for a major title on these shores takes place on December 18 at York Hall: Polish thumper Albert Sosnowski and Italian veteran Paolo Vidoz square up for the vacant European heavyweight title.
Sosnowski, promoted by Barry Hearn’s Matchroom, earned his shot when he floored and stopped Danny Williams in eight rounds last year in something of an upset and when he held unbeaten Italian giant Francesco Pianeta to a 12-round draw last time out in Germany. A draw there, and southpaw Pianeta is based in Germany, speaks for itself: the, strong, muscled Sosnowski must have been jobbed.
Vidoz, a fleshy 39-year-old, comes off a routine four-round stoppage win of Polish ‘opponent’ Tomasz Zeprzalka but was halted after nine tough rounds by burly Bedford bear and former world title challenger Matt Skelton before that (corner retirement) and might just be ready for the cherry picking, although he is cute, rugged fighter, fitter than he looks (shades of Francesco Damiani) and has fought at a much higher level than Sosnowski since turning pro in the wake of the 2000 Olympics where he licked Calvin Brock and Sam Peter on the way to super-heavyweight bronze. He’s held the European title before, losing it to big Ukranian Vladimir Virchis. Vidoz certainly knows how to box and the less mobile Sosnowski might suit him, although take an Italian out of Italy and the Italian is never as good.
The 30-year-old Sosnowsk, the “house fighter”, is the man on the rise in a sport all about timing, and probably hits the harder of the two. He must be favoured to take a close decision.
