This fight has been rumoured to be happening soon. Adamke has fought once already at cruiserweight I think. Should be a cracking fight,I'll take Bell. One again,shows the Cruiserweight division is the sleeper division in boxing:lots of good fighters there but not any big names.Who cares,as long as we get good fights!
I think Bell knocks him out. I don't think Adamaek has the power to hang with Bell
good match up! good way for both men to get to the top at cruiser, one of these two will certaily challenge for a title in the future. I rekon Bell will beat him.
I think Adamek wins on points...
O'Neil just doesn't do it for me as a fighter....
Anyone else besides me leaning towards Adamek?
The purse bid for the IBF cruiserweight eliminator for #1 between O'Neil Bell and Tomasz Adamek scheduled for February 14 has been canceled. The two sides reached an agreement to hold the fight on April 19, 2008 in Poland.

My thoughts exactly. I think Bell lays him outQuote:

That's true... :DQuote:

1 fight in 2004
2 fights in 2005
1 fight in 2006
1 fight in 2007
2 fights in years and as I said I just don't feel he's fully in this.
That's a hell of a jump from 175 to cruiser, was he having that much trouble making weight?
Doesn't seem like a good move, considering he's not that hard to hit I think Bell will get to him, most likely stop him.
i think bell gets the tko.
Adamek is one game fighter! Not only does he jump to Cruiser, he jumops to test the waters against one of the divisions top performers!!!
I like Adamek in this one.Bell is a sound fighter definetely one of the best but I just think we have not seen the best of Adamek yet.To me this fight will prove that Bell is on the downward slope and Adamek even with his loss to Dawson is still on the up and up.
Bell will ring his bell; O Neil victory by aggravated battery:cwm3:
Right on FightFan sending some Rep. your way for this.... Guess it's 2 for Adamek and the rest for Bell.Quote:

I give Adamek a good chance. He's a better boxer than Bell by a good amount. He's taller and matches his reach. He definately doesn't have the power of Bell. Bell will have the power to end the fight with one punch, and I'm not sure Adamek can hurt Bell, but I can see him staying outside and winning a UD. Bell can take long stretches off and sit around waiting for his opponent to make a mistake. Adamek will be able to rack up points while Bell is looking for the perfect punch and if that never comes, Adamek wins UD. If Adamek does something stupid - goodnight.
Not a big fan of either but would be fun...for as long as it lasts.The Bell KTFO Adamek.;D

how come no one else is talking about this????????????
Didn't know this one was going down but your damn right this is a great match up, I'm picking Bell if he shows up in shape.
yoitsdan im giving u 4pts for being the first to feel me on this one!
i love them both, big fan of both and cant see how this can be anything short of a bloody brutal action packed war!
Right back bro who you got for this one? It's a pick em' for me, Adamek is a small cruiser but won't go missing all night, Bell is the biggest pucncher he has ever faced but also has serious stamina trouble, I think if Adamek can take Bell into deep water he may have a shot but an in shape O'neill Bell is dangerous as hell, great puncher who loves to tear it up, just like Adamek. The more I talk about this fight the more excited I get :)Quote:

Wow I had no idea about this. I have seen no news threads about this one either. Its boxrec so I believe nothing till I see a news article. My feeling is that Bell's time has come and gone and I think Adamek will outwork him down the stretch to points win.
Ah, but you underestimate Bell's hammerblows to the back of the head. How will Adamek deal with that?
Bell is the true Cruiser, who knows if Adamek can deal with the bigger size. If Chad Dawson could knock him down, Bell can certainly knock him out. Let's hope Bell didn't have to chase any more sparring partners with hatchets.
Hey buddy, you definitely get some rep for this! I didn't even know this fight was being made, how did this slip me by?
I think Bell should win but he's had a long layoff and does blow hot and cold.
I really wanted Bell and Haye to meet as I'm 100% convinced that Bell will knock Haye the fuck out and knock the smile off of his smug face.
I knew this was happening but not so soon, I thought it was in June or so.
Adamek is a good working-puncher but Bell can take a huge amount of punishment so Adamek will struggle as he finds himself unable to hurt Bell.
I'll take Bell by stoppage.
I'm counting on ring rust.Quote:

I am saying this will be a repeat of the Bellv.Rothmann fight without the KO. Adamek MD or UD12
Could well happen Bell is incredibly frustrating as a fighter. He always looks so laid back and disinterested.Quote:

He's got talent though, good skills, a hard punch and one hell of a chin.
I've never seen his KO loss but judgin by the shots he took in his two fights with Mormeck it must have been one hell of a blow to stop him......

There were times in the Mormeck set where Bell was actually out on the ropes, but fell into or held onto Mormeck. Too many concussive shots... is he going to come in like the new JL Castillo? Slow and old?
I think anyone would have looked bad that night. The arena was way too hot, the mat was as soft as a mattress and the timekeeping was atrocious. If I were bell I would never fight in France again.Quote:
