    It is a good win, but the jury is still out. I was one of the leaders of the Heavyweight Adamek bandwagon, but this fight does raise questions. He was getting tired and it seemed as though his power (then again that has a lot to do with Estrada's great defense) had no effect on Estrada. It will be an interesting fight against Arreola.

    WTF??? Estrada is ranked top 15 by every major alphabet and in my view, he beats half of the untested jokers in front of him on that list.

    I can agree with this. Adamek did not surpass expectiations tonight, nor did he fail them. Estrada is under rated imo. Minus the KO power, his offense and defense have depth and real skill. Adamek adjusted and beat a skilled guy. It is not obvious to me whether a crude fighter like Arreola can beat a skilled guy like Estrada, esp. when he's motivated. Neither of Arreola's best wins (McCline and Minto) are better than Estrada, that much is clear.

    I was in Newark tonight at the fight, & Estrada nailed TA with many right hands & a few good left hooks. How many can he take from the fat Mex? I didn't like what I saw tonight.

    Neither did TA & he said so himself.

    Arreola has no where near the defence or chin of Estrada. TA can take this, even the way he fought tonight. Arreola is crude and his resume is thin. People need to wake up from this American hype job.

    Arreola took flush shots for 10 straight rounds against Vitali Klitschko, Adamek's punches is nothing compared to Vitali's. Also you are overestimating Adamek's power.

    Just imagine if Adamek was facing Chambers instead of Estrada. Adamek would of been schooled and beaten up.

    man you polish guys are blind by nationality, Estrada is nobody in the big picture, he can't punch at all, arreola can punch big and can take a shot big time, I will be super surpised if adamek last the fight again chris, he just takes way to many punches.

    If Adamek wants to be taken seriously he should have done a job on a fighter the level of Estrada.

    This doesnt bode well for his chances against the top guys.

    It's hard to say how Adamek will handle with Arreola's being after him, his pressure forward and of course strength

    I am a big Adamek fan but I have more doubts now then before

    TA left hand is to low:( Just for Arreola's right hand

    Adamek got the win, but was somewhat pushed by estrada. It remains to be seen if he can handle a larger HW. Estrada is a top 15-20HW, so Adamek is in that range, but...

    We must remember that Estrada was the lightest in his whole carrer. he was preperaing for 9 weeks(bef. Povietkin only 3-wtf?)

    That was fight for his life and he did all his best.
