Thats the kinda fight Adamek needs to put his name back on the front page. This will be an elimination bout, but to get a crack at which ABC champ??? :huh BTW, hows the weather in Frisco? We're going through some cold **** here on the east coast. 15 degrees at night the last few. But they say Monday could hit 60! Is that nuts or what?
News that Adamek will face Bell in march appeared in "Gazeta Wyborcza" - biggest polish daily journal Fight is in the works but both fighters accepted it, now it's moneytalk
I am so syked for this fight. We'll get to watch this free. This is a big opportunity for Tomek to redeem himself against a solid opponent and a big name. After his loss to Dawson many doubted the skills of Adamek, if he puts on a good performance this fight will propel him back to one of the top fighters in the division and set him up for a shot at the title.
Adamek needs this fight if he ever expects to return to the big time. A loss against Bell might reduce him to stepping-stone status. Unfortunately, making the jump from lt. heavy to cruiser is quite a jump. He's a man without a weight class.
agreed....dawson was a bad matchup (southpaw, technically better sound boxer) I have a better feeling about this matchup. Bell is not as skilled of a boxer, Adamek should cautiously pot shot will way to victory....but yes the biggest concern is how he handles the weight\power.
I hope and think Adamek can pull this one off. He has been too inactive with all the drama that has been surrounding him. As to the Dawson fight, not to go back to that again, there is no doubt Dawson is a skilled fighter, but Adamek was most definently not himself that night. Dawson never had him hurt, and some people say it was Dawsons style that made Adamek look bad, I doubt that as Adamek looked pale and energyless throughout the whole fight. Against a hard hitting Briggs he kept comming forward all night through both of their fights, while getting hit with huge shots. With Dawson Adamek wasnt even going forward or even throwing many punches for that matter since round 1, and Dawson doesnt hit as hard as Briggs. I'm not saying he would have won, but I'm not saying he would have lost, either. All I'm saying is that its a fight we did not see, it could have had a very different outcome. This Bell fight will be interesting. I hope Adamek uses his speed and boxing ability that he gave us a glimpse of against Pineda. ADAMEK!!!!! :happy:happy
I very much doubt it! IMO he punches above his weight.He looked very mediocre in his first fight at cruiser weight.His very limited Croation opponent could hold his own against the mighty Adamek. Besides the competition at cruiser weight is too strong and too numerous for the Pole. Someone like Alexeev would murder him.And there are quite a lot of very good fighters at cruiser weight which is one of hottest division at present.He should move down to light heavy again if he can make the weight.As I see it he will be a flash in the pan at cruiser weight.
Wow that's something new.I German discrediting a Pole and then taking a RUSSIAN as his own to compare him too. BTW that was not Adamek's first fight at Cruiser.I watched the 3 rounds that were available from that fight on the net and Adamek dominated every moment of it?Maybe he should take on a 2-7 fighter like that BUM Huck in order to look good.
I dont get it! You are German,arent you! Or do you think that I am German? If so, I 'd like to inform you that neither do I intend to dicredit Adamek nor am I German.I stem from Belarus.Thats why I certainly root for fighters from Russia when matched with Poles. But apart from that I truly believe that Adamek just cant hold a candle to Alexeev at cruiser weight.Alexeev plays in a different league. As for Adamek vs that journeyman from Croatia I watched their entire fight.Though Adamek won every round of that fight he still wasnt able to truly dominate his very limited foe.It wasnt a very convincing performance.Thats for sure! As for Huck to call him bum just reveals your hate for him.He certainly disappointed a lot of fight fans in his last fight with Cunningham,but unlike Adamek he has a proven track record at cruiser weight. Among his victims are Vadim Tokarev.As you may know Tokarev has some known names among his skalps. Darnell Wilson,Felix Cora,a draw with Arslan,and some other good names.Adamek? You really want to compare him with Tokarev,eh? What has he done at cruiser weight? You think that a victory over an unheralded journeyman from Croatia is enough to call him a top knight at the castle? Bah! You are just one of those Polish nuthuggers who go beserk as soon as someone dares to critisize one of your Polish boys.Patriotism is a good thing.However,blind nationalism is a different matter.Come to think of it dont you discredit your beloved hero here on this board by trying to sell him to the other fight fans here on esb as the next great thing at cruiser weight when he has done **** so far at this weight division?
Have i EVER called him the next great thing at Cruiser?And yes Huck is a ****ing BUM.His lack of Boxing skill was clear as day in the Cunningham fight,but of course you would say Cunnigham fought the fight of his life. Not even close to a blind nuthugger(save the kiddie words for the kiddies BTW).There are PLENTY of Polish fighters out there that i could care less about.Infact im only a hardcore fan of about 3-4 of them.Im not blinded by nationalism.If a fighter is garbage then he is garbage no matter where he is from. Yet it seems like a constant pattern with you and Tom Tocca....oh that guy is OK but there is this COMPLETE unknown German based Russian fighter who would beat him. And aside from getting a KO i dont know what else a fighter can do than win every round that is given.Which is what he did. Adamek stomps that BUM Huck.
