Boxing - Klitschko-Adamek signed
I don't even know which Klitschko he's fighting, but Adamek is going to take a prodigious beating.
So Haye should just retire now, because theres no way in hell Wlad fights Adamek in sept then Haye in Oct, when his lying ass says he'll retire.
Im very pumped about this fight. Im just praying it wil be on HBO Showtime or PPV in the USA.
Keep running Wlad, keep running!!
nvm
According to every press release I've read it's Wlad who is fighting Adamek, not Vitali. Can't Canadians read?
I'm happy for Adamek that he's got this. Lets hope he wins this...and the rematch...and the rematch....and the rematch ;D
I also now stand corrected of correcting you. The contract stipulates that either brother can take the fight in September, so if for any reason one can't fight, the other can. I assume they're doing this to leave the Haye door open. Haye's move I guess...

For Adamek it will be KO loss VS Wladimir and a competitive, exciting fight VS Vitali.
Klitschko's are smart and Wladimir won't let his brother take any risk, so he finishes the Pole.
What happened to Adamek's April 16th fight?
Regardless of the reasons, I must say I find it ironic that Adamek ended up fighting a Klitschko before Haye. Haye and the Klitsckos talked loads of crap to eachother and Adamek without any histrionics quietly moved under the radar into a title fight with the Klitschkos. One thing about Adamek that no one can take away from him is that he is a warrior willing to fight anyone. Chad Dawson, Steve Cunningham, Cris Arreola, and now a Klitschko. That's impressive to put it mildly. Will he win? No. But, props all the way. It's hard not to be a fan.
I would just like to point out that you don't hear Adamek talking shit about bad/unfair contracts, being treated like a slave, all the fans he has (and he does have quite a few), and so on...Adamek conducts himself like a fighter and I respect him for it, he's going to get an ass whuppin' but he's man enough to take it if it comes to that.
Wonder why Wlad isn't fighting against Adamek on July 2nd. He'll be ready by then apparently.
Also, why fight Adamek in Poland but not Haye in England?
I know what you're saying Lyle, but Adamek isn't a champion and doesn't have a better offer on the table like Haye did when he wasn't a champion. To be fair, did Valuev bitch and moan that Haye was disrespectful in negotiations? There are 2 sides to every story, and while I like you as a poster, when it comes to Wlad you're blind to anyone elses side.
#1 Adamek wants a tune up fight in September plus the Europa soccer deal is going on around October and they think this fight will draw in about 62,000 fans.
#2 62,000 fans in the seats PLUS tv money.
#3 Fighters who sign with Sauerland only complain when Sauerland doesn't get his cut.
Wasn't July 2nd chosen at the request of UK TV? Hint: neither Adamek nor Klitschko are British, nor will they fight in Britain. And the stadium in Poland may not be ready by then.
Money. AFAIK Poland was suggested by Klitschko himself. He said something that it is closer for Ukrainian fans than Germany;) but most probably people responsible for the promotion of the new football stadium in Wroclaw offered some serious cash to host this fight. And I have no illusions that the bulk of this money will come from the pocket of Polish taxpayers :rolleyes:
Haye suggested Wembley stadium, which holds 90,000. With pitch side seats too there will be more, so no reason not to take that. Are HBO picking this up? Because they'd pick up Haye vs. Klitschko - More PPV money. I assume you mean a tune up in April? Well Wlad fights in April too, so why not insist on July 2nd?
What I find funny too is that Adamek didn't even really care which Klitschko it was. So, only one of them needs to win over the summer and Adamek will get in the ring. It's testament to Adamek if anything. The man has balls.
I heard this was going to be the first ppv event in Poland therefore its going to be massive there most people will be buying it and the chances are this will be historic! It's probably the best fight out there right now minus Haye so I'm looking forward to it! :)
Props to adamek the man is a warrior, don't think I'll be rooting against anyone in this fight.
I think you could pack the stadium yeah. World Heavyweight unification fight? Considering he sells out his fights against his previous opposition over here, I see no reason why not. Haye has made alot of noise and got alot of people behind him. Tis a similar situation to how Wlad got so many for the Chagaev fight. People had bought that many tickets to see him fight Haye.
I really like the K and Adamek and I especially respect Adamek for working like a devil and being constantly in the ring. However, except with a magic upset, I don't see how he could win this one, unfortunately. Haye Vitali is still "possible" but I really doubt any will from Haye to truly fight the K.
Wow, that's easily the most outlandish contract stipulation I've heard of in this sport. He doesn't even know which brother he's going to fight until when, like fight week? Surely you didn't type that properly? Or does it stand that Adamek has signed/ or is expected to sign to fight EITHER Klitschko, on paper? Why not stipulate that if after 4 rounds Wlad or Vitali were to be behind, they could tag the other one in to finish the fight for them?:rolleyes: I just don't get what the rammifications of this are supposed to be... If Adamek trains his ass of for say Wlad specifically, but he is injured shortlyt before the date, is Adamek obligated to go through with fighting Vitali anyways? He would need to imploy completely different tactics to even be competitive in either fight, to. The fact that he has no chance again either brother just magnifies what chickenshit stuff this is. I of course get the idea of leaving a Haye fight open in theory, but it just adds to the whole circus of it all. Adamek is the only one who deserves and respect in the whole thing to, until one of the brothers and Haye can just get it on with.
As much as I hate this news, someone said it was 90 days. I think 90 days is just about sufficient for a world title fight.
You just know that those two are going to be like teasing each other about it over the next while to, whipping each other with towels after a nice joint shower, "No Wlad, you will fight Mr. Adamek.... I want to teach David Haye a lesson tee hee hee"
Let me get this straight:
If both Klits win their upcoming fights, they choose who flights Adamek.
If one of them loses, he fights the other brother.
If both of them lose (http://www.utdforum.com/forum/images...es/biggrin.gif) the deal is off.
Really, a fight with a Klit SHOULD be arranged for September. No doubt Booth will dispute this and stick him in the ring for a farewell fight with Antonio Tarver.
I like how Adamek's promoter said that the Klitschko's were respectful and "very generous" in their business dealings.....odd to read that given what a certain population assumes about them.
