    Listen, vitali is a good fighter, but, lets get real here. adamek is overrated at HW. he was getting hit by a shot mcbride. the dude is a punching bag and too small for HW. This was an easy fight for Vitali.

    Its the big picture, 40 year old heavy and his little brother dominating the scene for years, sure the division is weak thats why adamek is number 3 but the klits are ruling with an iron fist (pun intended).
    Thats why its impressive imo.

    Really they are all easy fights for Vitali.


    Adamek, Arreola, and washed up Briggs...We know Adamek is a step above Arreola, we know they are both better than a never was on his last leg...but Vitali made them all look equally helpless.

    When you steemroll everyone, as he does, it says alot more about the quality of the fighter doing the steemrolling, than it does about the *lack* of quality in the fighters getting steemrolled.

    Exactly, and we do know that Adamek was much better overall than Arreola and Briggs. Didn't matter, still took a beating and lost every round.

    I thought he was carrying Adamek personally. He could have finished him a lot sooner. There was a particular right hand I remember, round 3 I believe, that wobbled Adamek and sent him into the ropes.

    Vitali followed it up with nothing, and just let him recover. He could have finished him early, no doubt in my mind.

    Exactly. Vitali is dominating all the guys placed in front of him. What more can he do to prove his greatness?

    He beat the legitimate #3 HW in the world in easy fashion. I don't think you can overrate that. Adamek is a solid fighter that had no answer. Before the fight and leading up to it, everyone thought this was going to be a great fight, now that Vitali dominated I keep seeing people saying how Adamek is a chump. He'd only lost one fight in his career of over 40 fights, the guy can fight. Vitali is just that much better.

    40 aint old, man. bernard is 46 and still going strong. foreman fought until he was 48. if u maintain a good diet and exercise, u could fight well into your 40's.

    Vitali actually said in the interview that he did not want to knock out Adamek sooner.

    I already got the picture. Adamek sucks cause he lost to Klitschko and division sucks cause Klitschkos are dominating.

    The division is so trash that two ex cruisers had to add spice to the division. I don't take anything away from the brothers. They are beating everyone.

    It's the claims of greatness that gets overrated. Neither has beaten a great fighter, yet are ranked just as high as guys who have. Then size is used as an reason why they beat the smaller guys.

    Small Holy gave Lennox problems though he lost to Lennox, Byrd beat Vitali, Sanders, Purrity, and Brewster beat Wlad and were supposed to think they best prime Ali? Please.

    Not sure it was a mismatch. He was expected to dismantle the blown up light heavyweight and did so. I, including 99% of the public gave Adamek no change. Unless Vitali suffered some sort of injury and would not be able to continue, Adamek had 0 chance.

    Yeah I noticed he took it easy on him or carried him. Did he say why he didnt want to do it sooner? Felt bad for him?
