Why does Adamek look taller than Arreola?

Huge fight for any true heavyweight fans!

 

new type of PED's not only grows muscles but also makes you look taller

... otherwise a lot of carnitas in burrito shrink your bones

so sooner or later the boxrec info will be corrected:
Arreola - 6'1
Adamek - 6'5

 

Theres a pic floating arond of him and Williams. Same height.

 

He isn't. He's 6'2". I have no idea where the 6'4" came from, but all the way until the Witherspoon fight, he was always listed at 6'2".

 

Article from, LA Times:

"His promoter, Kathy Duva, said Adamek's union with respected trainer Ronnie Shields in Houston, along with the fact that he's slightly taller than Arreola with a longer reach make the possibility of a slight upset strong, even if Arreola has the hometown crowd's support."

Either Duva is lying or she's got the insider's scoop.

 

Because Arreola is so heavy that it makes him look shorter

 

Gravity has a stronger pull on Arreola.

 

Even when they're standing head to head and you can compare the top of their heads?

 

Potentially, the most exciting HW bout in years.

 

Adamek TKO Arreola 8

 

Because Arreola weigh so much he cant stand straight

 

Optical illusion.

 

gravity is about mass and relativity,
the heavier are relatively shorter no matter
where they are standing against observer

Optical illusion my ass. I know for a fact, Arreola and camp were shocked in the 1st press conference. They expected a much smaller opponent.
