Vitali put some dents on Arreola's chin. There's a ***** n Arreola's defense. Adamek iz an amazingly skilled brawler wit heart nd determination. A blown up light heavy wit heavy hands. I think if da Riverside, CA, USA native would train harder he would actually hit closer to da CW limit. I think he could dominate, or close 2 it, with his given attributes at 200#
I actually should rethink thingz bcuz Cris has a lengthy Ammie career. I shouldn't jump da gun nd assume Arreola 2 simply fight wit da style he utilized vs Vitali. He's lost 1nce nd he doesn't want 2 lose again. Dat loss hurt him. He's a warrior, but Adamek iz a Private Reserve Hitter!!

Assuming he beats Estrada of course. While I think Adamek will beat Estrada, he should definently not over look him.
Arreola by brutal mid-fight KO. People can't seem to understand Cris. He's an absolute beast with skills, speed and output not being credited for, people rather judge by physique and the Klitschko fight (everybody gets brutalized or shut out by the Klitschkos). But Arreola blew away everyone not named Klitschko, including Minto, a decent little HW, and Arreola exposed the "little" part even though he himself was coming from a huge loss. Adamek has more speed and skills, but nothing really to get Arreola's respect, Cris would get inside and brutalize Tomasz with busy punches 250 pounds behind'em. I like Adamek. He has good fighting skills. But him vs. Arreola is a horrible, in fact, the worst possible match-up for the classy CW champ. Too much physical difference and nothing to stop the beast coming in. Arreola by 5th round brutal knockout.
Arreola by late round TKO or decision. Adamek right now is an unknown at HW. If he demolishes Estrada I will reconsider.
Arreola showed against Vitali that he is not a top heavyweight. He was basically a punching bag in that fight, did not win a round against 39 year old Vitali.
I'm a big Adamek fan but I think Arreola is all wrong for Tomaz. Yes Arreola is easy to hit but SO IS ADAMEK. If Adamek is hit as freely by Arreola as he was at CW and LHW, Adamek is in big trouble.
I'm not saying he's a top HW but Vitali was a bad stylistic match-up for him. Adamek is good and had an iron chin at CW and good power in his punches but we'll have to see how these things translate into the HW division.
Vitali set the blue print on how to beat this guy. Adamek is too fast with his feet and hands. Areolla is a undeicated out of shape slow target. I believe Adamek lands at will resulting in a stoppage of some sort or a win on cards. Unless his chin gives out he should make this look easy kind of like Chambers beating Peter. He has one hell of a counter right that puts anybody on their ass. And he can take a flush right hand and not even move just ask Cunningham. Areolla does not even have one punch power he is another sam peter just may be more skilled.
Adamek will outbox him , combination and move , combination and move, check the o'neill bell fight , or even golota , it's gonna be similiar ,adamek wont stay flat footed and trade like many re thinkin he'll hit and move and frustrate fat slow walking arreola all night,
Kudos to Adamek for fighting so often and stepping up his comp rather quickly upon leaving CW (although i'm not sure that estrada's a step up over an old golota but still estrada will make him work). An Arreola fight will tell a lot about Adamek's chances at HW IMO. Arreola can crack so let's see how Adamek holds up.
