Vitali vs. Adamek Saturday fight thread

[Pugilistic]

I can't see how anyone can give Adamek a chance here.

Adamek is undersized and is really a cruiserweight.

He lacks power at heavyweight, he's not faster than Vitali and he isn't a skilled enough boxer overall to compete with what Vitali brings to the ring like size, power (faded but still good), work rate and overall skills.

Adamek is tough and will make it to the late rounds but i see Vitali beating him up from the opening bell.

Adamek's face won't be a pretty sight at the end.

Vitali by late TKO.

What Adamek has is speed. He is faster than Vitali in foot speed and punch speed. Otherwise, you are right, he is at a big deficit.

I disagree.

I think Vitali has the faster hands, you could say Adamek's footwork is quicker though.

Been backing Adamek since his fights vs. Briggs... (Minus the time he fought by boy BCD)
Even when people said he would lose.
From what I remember people said he would lose to USSR, Bell & Banks.

However here I just see Vitaly hammering him and getting the TKO.
It's not like Adamek is elusive. If he had the slightlest waist movement or something I think he'd last 12 rounds but I don't.

By the way I back Adamek vs. any other heavyweight (Haye, Chambers, Sascha, Povetkin etc.)

I really like Adamek. He is willing to fight anyone and wont run, but this is a bad match up for him. I hope he gives Vitali a run for his money but I think Vitali stops him in round 8.

They've sold over 40,000 tickets for the fight and allegedly the stadium is sold out in Poland. At least on paper, it's a good fight for boxing. Hopefully, Erics44 checks it out because he wants big heavyweight boxing matches.

That may be in fact another blow to boxing - the undercard is shite - really nothing can happen to make it interesting - so if the main event ends like most people predict then another 40 K + those who buy PPV will turn their back to boxing.
