Vassiliy Jirov vs. Tomasz Adamek

Cruiserweight, primes.

(2001-2003 Jirov; 2007-2009 Adamek)

 

:good

Adamek I think had slightly more power at the weight; Jirov the slightly better chin.

Adamek more speed, Jirov more skill.

Both could work.

 

Near as I can tell this match-up has never been done on ESB (strange, as it seems an obvious attraction) but over on B-Scene they did a poll back in '09 and it was deadlocked, with everybody agreeing it would be a close war.

 

:yep I'm on most of the major boxing forums, but nowhere else as much as here.

 

I voted draw, but would probably lean Jirov's way if anything.

 

:huh Might have registered way back, but don't use 'em.

I pop on Boxrec and the Scene once in a blue moon.

(and even check hook )

 

:thumbsup

 

I think body shots might be a key for Jirov. He could dig, and even realtively light-hitting Cunningham bothered Adamek visibly with them.
