hope so. getting back to estrada. has any TV been secured yet? obviously a harder sell than adamek-arreola. haven't goldne boy got all the ESPN dates for their prospects? aren't versus either tied up, or on the way out? won't even mention HBO, as he needs arreola for that. adamek-estrada not big enough for showtime. are they aiming for "shobox: new generation", with estrada (like banks) being the "new generation" & adamek - 2 weight champ - bringing the quality to make it a solid package? another Internet PPV, with delayed TV coverage, like the gunn fight?
Showtime was negotiating the fight like a month ago but idk wot happend there were'nt any officiall announcements yet, unfortunately they'll probably skip it to show valero who fights at the same date.:bart
Did you guys realise, how much mass Adamek gained in the legs, espacially in the calves? He looks like a real HW boxer ans still has some reserves in the muscles building. I mean he is about 100kg now and still may add 2 or 3 kilo and look good and probably be still quick
I wish him best of luck and i think he will get past estrada but i dont think heavyweight is his division at all! He is a great cruiserweight! But he has still something to do there! Cunningham rematch! And smash marco huck out of the ring!
Yea its true. Just read the article a couple minutes ago. Hope he is keeping an eye and working on his speed while he is bulking..
Guys, just 1 month is left ! ****, I can't wait already, everything what I'm reading about Adamek and his preparation just make me more sure than before that he can beat Estrada easily. Dunno what about his power, Bloodworth said he's got a stronger punch than Holyfield, Adamek also hurt Rafa Mendez's (physical trainer) 2 fingers while training. Interesting ... btw, read first pages of Adamek Express hahah it made my morning.
Just read about Adamek's sparring partners, they are: - Darrel Madison 14-1 (3 KO) - Israel Carlos Garcia 19-3 (11 KO) - Derrick Rossy 22-2 (12 KO) Anyone know anything about them, ofc beside Rossy, cuz he's mostly known for everyone, one word about his would be appreciated too tho.
i've got a copy coming in the post, off polsat. it should e good quality. if you still need a copy by the time i get it, i can do one.
223 pounds is quite a lot. this estrada fight will go late. i hope he won't be slow. he will need speed because estrada is cagey. obviously adamek feels he is growing into the heavyweights. he was light and fast vs golota, with it being his debut and with him perhaps still considering cruiserweight fights, back then. now he seems to have left cruiserweight well behind. hopefully he doesn't get TOO big. clearly, what happens in the estrada fight, will affect his weight for other fights. adamek did make a 25-pound leap in weight from light heavy to cruiser. and he fought 2 very big, strong, powerful cruisers, bell and banks. by the banks fight, he had grown into the weight far better. so perhaps another 20-odd pounds is nothing to him?/is normal for him? evander holyfield really had to experiment with his weight, when he started at heavyweight. he would try out different weights.
Does anyone have second fight with Briggs? I only saw it once - live. I'm really curious about that first round knock down. I couldn't find it on the net. Maybe someone could upload it on youtube.
I believe Jim Lampley said that Adamek-Briggs was the best 24 rounds he saw in 2 years. It's a shame that such a great fight isn't on youtube Is there any chance you could convert it to avi and upload somewhere?
