    How do you see this turn out? Adamek had a few fights at Cruiserweight before moving up to Heavyweight. This would have been a damn entertaining fantasy match up. How does Adamek handle the pressure and volume punching of Jirov?

    I like Jirov. But, not with much conviction.

    Same here. I like Jirov a little more than Adamek but I think Adamek was more durable and that could be a huge factor. I'll take Jirov but not with confidence.

    Adamek. More versatile and proven.

    This could be one helluva scrap. Adamek is tougher while Jirov is technically better. Jirov would absolutely have to break him up to the body and I believe that would be his strategy. Im going Jirov split decision without alot of confidence

    Jirov by decision in highly competitive match.

    Adamek. Decision.

    Just never liked the lack of head movement by Jirov. Always directly in front of opponents & not the type guy making opponents work to land.

    Edge towards Adamek, but it would surely be competitive.
