Grant has a family who loves him right?Just saying.This is a horrible fight and Grant is a statistic waiting to happen.Hope this falls through
Interesting fight. We have a former light heavy moving through cruiser and now heavy who is pretty small at the weight against a guy who is a super heavy and massive at the weight. Grant is in great shape and should be dangerous but has nowhere near the class of Adamek.
It will be a nice clash of styles but a pianful night for Grant IMO. Theres a good chance that Grant takes too many clean shots early and gets flustered before he's even got into the fight.
I've read somewhere that Main Event took this fight for Adamek because it was a good way for him to have more experience against much bigger with longer reach opponents. Fourth fight this year for the Polks, I am not against an easier payday with an interesting experience at the key for him and then... Haye if he doesn't want to fight the K again.

yea it says it in the espn article that he's basically looking to get some experience against someone the size of the Klitschko's, Haye isn't really bigger than Adamek in height or reach, and he's no natural heavy himself, but yea i really don't think Grant has much to offer other than his size and well a chance for Adamek to keep himself in shape, if/when Adamek wins what will be his 3rd fight this year (Estrada, Arreola, and now Grant) i don't see anyway he doesn't get a title shot by the end of the year or early 2011, others (Haye) were less accomplished and had done far less to get a shot

I didn't even know Grant was still fighting.
I just learned that Grant is trained by Eddie Mustafa Muhammed, the same guy who trained Chad Dawson against Adamek.
How long has Grant been inactive now? Too long I think, Adamek is the total opposite, fighting regular and against reasonable opposition. I see a long night for Grant, probably a UD for Adamek with very wide scores.
I'm not sold on Adameks power at HW though.

Yeah this will be a farewell fight for Grant. Hard to believe he was once cnsidered more dangerous to Lennox Lewis than David Tua. But then again he did try to take out Lewis early with the worst kamikaze attack since hmmm Caveman Lee vs Hagler. Tua just followed Lewis around like a damn zombie on rufies as if he had no clue where he was or what he was supposed to be doing.
Anyway look for a tko by round 7.

I actually think Holyfield would have been a tougher fight for Adamek cuz he has all the ring experience you could ask for plus im sure he would use his head and rough Tomasz up . Grant wont offer anywherenear that level of tutoring but I can understand why Adamek has gone for this fight instead so he can get use to biger men. Obviously Grant is no Klitschko but Adamek needs to get use to using the ring and finding a way inside. I expect to see him try afew things out in this fight. He can afford to take chances as theres nothing to gain if he just blasted Grant out of there.
IMO Tomasz stands a good job of beating Haye but he targets the Klitschkos which says alot about the man .
What are your thoughts on the fight. Adamek is going to prove nothing with this fight.![]()
