It is nice to see that he is looking for a competitive first title defense. Come to think of it, is Adamek ever in a bad fight?

Way to fail upward. Good luck to Banks. He's a genuinely nice guy.
This mean he has pulled out against Enzo? So what happens with the WBO title now? Alexeev fights for the interim title without there being a world champion?
Enzo will have to stick to fighting heavies. He must be annoyed.
Come to think of it, Warren has a contract signed by Banks to fight Enzo, so if he backs out I wouldn't be surprised if they sue him. Warren loves a lawsuit, its how he makes his money these days ;D

Yes Enzo Maccarinelli. :)
I have to say I am a fan of Adamek....I wish he would rematch Cunningham...was a hell of a fight.....Quote:

I'd like to see Adamek v Maccarinelli. Problem is Enzo's got Warren as a promoter so he'll probably put him in at least 10 more fights before he fight's anyone who has a chance of beating him.Quote:

I'd much rather see Cunningham 2, Guillermo Jones, or Wlodarczyk in with Adamek before Enzo even gets a sniff!

Yeah but with Wlodarczyk both his loses to Cunningham could have arguably gone the other way! So imo he deserves to be in the mix!Quote:

I agree. If I remember correctly, I thought he looked pretty good against Cunningham.Quote:

I'm excited about this fight. Both fighters can punch. It should be explosive.

I guess I'm the only person extremely excited by this fight?
Is Adamek ever in a bad fight? Not to mention 10 weeks after he fought the champion in the division, Steven Cunningham, he is fighting another top-ten contender? Who does that these days? And Banks is Manny's prodigy from the Kronk gym in Detroit.
And other than potentially Steven Cunningham, who else can beat him at cruiserweight?
Tomasz is a beast, I expect him to put the screws to Banks, I am looking forward to this fight though. This week is an excellent one for boxing fans
The Contender Finale, Adamek defending his ring title, Johnson trying to avenge his draw against Judah, John leaving Indonesia, Marquez defending his Ring title against one of the highest rated and exciting Lightweights in recent memory. The one dissapointment I have is that I probably won't get to see Roman Gonzalez, don't think it's being televised at all.
I agree. Great week for boxing fans. Really superb actually.
I would like to see Adamek rematch with Dawson as well as Cunninham. This time at 200 I think Adamek would beat Dawson. Convincingly at that.
Holy shit!!!
What a right hand that was by Lorenzo... :o
Anyone watching this or will I fly solo?
DAMN miranda got KTFO
Lorenzo looked GREAT tonight compared to his fight vs. Marquez.
Just when Miranda caught Lorenzo with a right, Lorenzo comes back with his right hand.
Thats the Lorenzo, that was impressing me before the Marquez fight. He just looked average in the Marquez fight, even though I thought he could have got a draw or even possibly won.
So, does that mean Abraham Vs. Lorenzo for Arthur's next IBF defence?
Banks as been sparring Wlad for 4 years and has never been hurt by him in sparring according to Manny Steward. I guess they are very close. I read Banks and Wlad are toghether everyday I guess theyre like family.
I think Holt/Bradley will be fawking great.
Ahh Daah Mek! Ahh Daah Mek! Ahh Daah Mek!
Wow, Adamek's fanbase just keeps growing.
I think Cunningham did set the perfect gameplan for Hopkins and thats probably what Hopkins saw that made him believe he could beat him. But Adamek has very good power and deceptive speed. cunningham has a good chin and is a good size cruiser and he got put on the canvass, Dawson too. Just a very dangerous fight for Hop.
Should be a decent fight this, I'm going with an Adamek win. Which means Banks will win! ;D
His fights with Briggs were right up there with some of the best fights ive seen. What ever happened to Briggs anyways?
I think he retired.Quote:

Banks looks leaner to me then what I remember.
Adamek needs to take the initiative.
Be 1st and dictate the fight.
Banks taking lead here with the right.
The thing with Banks is he can lead or counter though I think he leads better then counter.
