Vitali outboxed!

Lennox Lewis couldn't outbox Vitali....Featherfist Adamek has ZERO power at heavyweight to get vitalis respect, Vitali will walk through him. Mismatch. Simple as that. :deal

 

he'd be the 1st.

No one had ever out boxed Goofy Vitali -

I don't see it.

 

`vitali is awkward as hell and uses his size perfectly, hence to beat him you need to be much faster than him, because he keeps his hands low if you are very fast you can hit and move, thats why i think prime ali ud's him. however if youre not fast enough youre in trouble basically because he will give you a beatdown, he is very good at winning rounds, I dont see the speed that should be required in adamek although I like that he has taken the real route to a titleshot, vitali wins this.

 

Plus Adamek barely outboxed Arreola!!!! A one handed Arreola at that atschatsch oh dear

 

Very interesting thread. Really good read.

Definitely will subscribe.

 

there is a chance for adamek here....not much but still..
Vitali slowed down a lot since lewis... he is 40 years old

 

Adamek had problems to outbox Arreola and had his problems against an old Michael Grant. Adamek isn't going to make it into the championship rounds.

 

I can see VK beasting Adamek out of there.

Its true that VK can be offset by movement, made to look robotic on the front foot, as he's more of a counter puncher, buts its also true that he's like a bigger stronger version of Adamek, which is why I think when he turns the heat up, applies more pressure, starts landing, he will get Adamek out of there.

Adamek has poor footwork. He's okay when you dont press that hard, but you saw against Adamek how off balance he can get, how his feet get tangled up when real pressure is put on him, he also got hurt by Arreola, and VK is bigger/stronger than Arreola.

Adamek will win rounds early with his speed and movement, but I expect VK to walk him down and knock him out eventually.

Almost every fight Adamek is in where by someone puts intense pressure on him, he eventually gets trapped, against Estrada toward the end, against Briggs toward the end of their first fight If I recall, against Arreola mid fight, only VK is a bigger man than all of those guys. If Adamek can withstand this period, he might be able to pinch a decision with the early rounds he might of won, but I can see VK stopping him.

 

Look at the Arreola fights and you should get your answer.

 

Adamek SD?

 

Johnson and Byrd are skilled fighters who are hard to hit, even when their giving your a stationary target, Adamek's only defense, is his legs.

I also dont get the criticisms about VK stamina, look at how many punches he threw against Briggs, I'd say he was very active considering his age.
