    Adamek might be too fast for Walker with his attacks but if Walker connects it is lights out for Adamek. I believe Walker has massive power but most propably he wont catch Tomasz...

    Adamek wins this with superb workrate. Nobody gets hurt or anything:yep

    I dont know I like Walker. Usually when he fights someone is getting seriously hurt there. Guy has great power and shaky. chin

    should be a decent action fight. Adamek is staying active.

    My understanding is that the Tourney is now:

    Adamek vs. Walker

    Pulev vs. Solis

    Problem there of course is that Pulev beat Walker last October in a blowout. Judges had it 119-109, 118-109, 117-111

    Too bad the IBF couldn't bring in Chambers or Fury.

    I had heard rumors about Adamek vs. Fury this Fall, but I guess that fell apart.

    I see Adamek winning the decision against Walker.

    Pulev TKO'ing Solis

    Adamek vs. Pulev = biggest win of Pulev's career. Puts him in with Wlad next year sometime.

    I predict the other eliminator will not be Pulev vrs. Solis, but Pulev or Solis against Ustinov or Banks....K2 will want at least one of those guys involved in the tournament.

    I'm puzzled that Adamek is going this route. Even if fighting Walker is not so high-risk, the final eliminator will probably be high-risk. Maybe he wants a purse bid situation if he gets to the final showdown against Wladimir.

    If Walker has the right gameplan he could be a sleeper here--he's faster than Grant or Arreola but less savvy.

    wow, another amazing fight that adamek is involved in. he always fights the very best guys in the heavyweight division. not many left to clear out as he's beaten most of them.

    what a legend.

    Walker has a Glass Jaw also. A very bad one at that.

    Bryant Jennings is slated to be on the undercard, from what I've read.

    What kind of bull**** is this, Ustinov can't get a visa so they dq him from the tourney and and a potential title shot? Why the **** can't Adamek go to Germany, Ukraine, or Poland?

    This is official now. Credit to Adamek and his team for giving a shot to Walker, who always brings a good fight. Adamek will have to be on his game, Walker is the biggest sized guy he's faced outside of Grant and Klitschko.

    Should be an exciting event.

    Adamek-Haye is a solid match-up between B-level heavyweights.

    Walker is very slow for Adamek,but still has that KO chance to win.
    Lets be honest here.Walker has lost to any decent-and no that decent name he has faced-he doesn't belong in this tournament
