    I'm looking forward to this fight and hoping I can attend live.

    I do not think this fight is the easy give-me victory for Adamek that so many seem to believe. Facing a guy as big and as strong as Grant will be a new experience for Tomasz.

    I think he SHOULD win, but this might be difficult.

    After all, despite the success he's had in his new division so far, Adamek is NOT a true heavyweight.

    Who do you like and why?

    Adamek UD - I think Grant will be very slow at this point, even Adamek's leaky defence won't be that much of a factor cause he won't be eating much. Tomasz running circles, unleashing combos inside holding/jumping away all night.

    :lol::rofl:patsch

    Come on Rummy we all know Grant has an abysmal Glass Jaw you can breathe on the guy and KO him. I do like this fight though as it does prepare Adamek to fight a Klitschko by fighting a tall guy with a long reach. Good matchmaking by Duva.

    I'm gonna give Grant's jaw the benefit of the doubt here and say he loses to Adamek by UD.

    He does to Grant exactly as he did to Golota.

    That being siad, I like Grant too. But Adamek is a superstar.

    Well, obviously Adamek is using this as preparation for fighting a taller guy. Adamek SHOULD win, but like I said, Grant's still a big strong guy and Adamek's never faced a big guy like Grant (I'm not counting the Golota fight because Golota truly is shot to pieces).

    In fairness, I haven't seen much of Grant in recent years. I'm told despite his little winning streak that he's not looked too good. Perhaps I'm imagining Grant circa 1999.

    However, if Grant is as shot as Golota (is that even possible?) than Adamek should get him out of there in five or so.

    I havent seen Grant lately. I would have to say he loses, and in what fashion depending on his speed.

    If he is still relatively quick, Adamek wins UD.

    If he has slowed much, Adamek wins TKO.

    Don't think its possible. Gołota has aged fast and terribly as far as his performance in the ring goes... quite drastic.

    Golata rolled over and let Adamek beat him. Not saying at this stage if Golata had tried that he would have won, but he could have put up more a fight if he wanted to, instead it was more a passing of the torch.

    Adamek before the judges become relevant.

    No one here has Grant winning. Glass jaw is irrelevant. Glass confidence shattered by Lennox Lewis and Dominick Guinn. Not helped by Teddy Atlas.

    Grant should have retired years ago
