    At this point, Golota's jab isn't going to be the deciding factor. It will be his right hand. If his right hand looks as good as it did against Mollo, Adamek is in trouble.

    To answer Bart's question, if Adamek beats Golota silly, it would shock me, but it would also beyond a shadow of a doubt represent the end.

    For the record, I thought Golota should have hung up the gloves right after the Mollo fight, and in many ways, I still wish he did.

    Golota was nailing Mollo with some very nice straight right hands right down the pike. Especially in the first few rounds before the eye got messed up.

    As for the jab, Golota will have such a big reach advantage I imagine the jab will be effective as well (baring his left arm holds up). Golota will also want to get Adamek against the ropes and pound on him much like he did Byrd.

    I wonder what Adamek will look like with the extra weight. Will he be ripped like Roy Jones was when he moved up to HW(all muscle) or will he be a bit flabbier? I'm sure he wont gain by eating ho-hos but I wonder if what his phsyique will look like at 213.

    When I met Adamek at one of his training camps, there was talk of him moving up to heavyweight and one of the reporters joked, "You could eat more kielbasa" when he mentioned he could easily move up to 215-220 and be comfortable there.

    :lol:

    Personally, I'm not sold. I was standing next to him face-to-face. He's a skinny guy. IMO, he's even a bit small for cruiserweight, but his power and ability (and especially his durability) allow him to get away with it.

    I've never stood face-to-face next to Golota, but I know he's a much bigger dude.

    Adamek weighed around 200 when I saw him. This was in JULY.

    20 extra pounds? I can't see him putting that much weight on and being effective. I personally believe he should be coming in around 190 for his cruiserweight fights.

    Figure, this fight just got made. Can he healtily gain 20 lean pounds before fight time?

    I suspect Adamek may weight in around 212-215 on fight nigt (as you said). I think he'll look softer.

    Adamek is too in shape to look bad, even 20 pounds heavier. Holyfield fought as low as 177 and as high as 220. He never looked bad and I think Adamek has a similar body.

    BTW, fellow Golota fans. On today's edition of On the Ropes, we have former heavyweight champion and former Golota opponent, 'Terrible' Tim Witherspoon.

    I intend to ask him a question about his fight with Golota and perhaps about Golota-Adamek, pending time.

    If I'm not mistaken, Witherspoon once mentioned that Golota was the strongest fighter he ever faced (or something along those lines.

    I think Tim said Golota hit him harder than anyone in his life. On another note, is Jenna single?

    Yep, that's the quote I was thinking of.

    As in not married? Yes, although I'm not sure, she may or may not have a boyfriend, but I do here she has a thing for Golota fans.

    :smoke

    It definitely takes a lot of effort to add that much muscle. Most bodybuilders struggle to put on even 10 lbs of muscle in six months. And Adamek does not strike me as a guy who has those kind of genetics. As you said, he's naturally a smaller guy. With just the right diet and weight lifting program, it can probably be done, but I'm also under the impression he'll look a bit soft at heavyweight as well. Extra muscle can slow a fighter down but extra fat will slow you down even more so and also hurt your stamina and we know how Golota can rip punches to the body a la Chris Byrd. Guess we'll just have to see how hog wild Adamek went on that extra kielbasa. Ever had it with sour crout? That's some good eatin'. :hey

    Nice! I will listen in.

    Yeah, Witherspoon said that right hand by Golota was the hardest punch he was ever hit with. But I assume that only held true until Lou Savarese knocked him out.

    :lol: hahaha !


    On Saturday, in studio of Polsat after Huck-Ramirez, Andrzej 'Andrew' Gmitruk (Adamek's coach, also Golota's coach in amateur times) said Adamek's gonna weight around 96kg, it equals 211 lbs. They don't want him to go down with weight so much, therefore just 96 kgs should be ok, also they expect Adamek's speed and other valours will be at the same lvls as in last his fight.

    I agree, with majority of your words, but 190 for cruiserweight is not enough. Before Gunn fight on the official weighting Adamek's weight was around 200lb. Just before the fight his weight was 207 lb and he was in shape during the fight. I think that 210-215 would be a good weight. More than 215 would be a stupidy. Even David Haye, who is bigger (not much) than Adamek weighted before fighting Monte Barett equal 215 punds. But Haye doesnt have to reduce the weight as Adamek does (if he wants to fight Hopkins).
