Golota vs. Adamek?

[Fenster]

Golota ain't as washed up as people think. He's at his best against fighters who are smaller than him. This will end badly for Adamek.

Fighting Golota is a sign that the Hopkins fight ain't happening. No way he would risk a career high pay day to face a fighter who out weights him by over 50 pounds. Adamek ain't a big enough name to where he can still get the Hopkins fight coming off a loss. Adamek would still have his belts but he would pretty much be useless to Hopkins

Yes, but I'm not sure Hopkins ever intended on fighting Adamek in the first place. Didn't he offer him a 90/10 split (or something ridiculous like that)? I'm sure Adamek is receiving more than 10% of a Hopkins purse to fight Golota. On that note, does anyone know the money involved in this fight?

Also, Adamek has been recently pondering the jump to heavyweight. This may be a transitional fight. If he can soundly beat Golota maybe he thinks he can land a big championship heavyweight title fight with a Klitschko. If I recall correctly, wasn't he offered a fight with Vitali when Haye bitched out?

Adamek's fight with Golota seems more about pride than anything else. No matter that Adamek may have accomplished more than Golota in his career, from what I gather Golota is still every Pole's favorite fighter and beating him would cement Adamek as the best contemporary Polish boxer in the eyes of the average Polish fight fan. Adamek wants the prestige that comes with a victory over Golota.

Hopkins eventually agreed on a 60-40 split if HBO upped their offer of $3million to $3.5million.. which they stalled on.

Now Hopkins/Golden Boy has said if Golota-Adamek happens he is no longer interested in facing Adamek in January.

I think hopkins would beat Adamek if they fought. I dont think it will happen though.
I am just glad to see some of the better Cruiserweights go up to the heavyweight devision. They have the speed and diversity to breathe life into the heavyweight devision. Looking at Johnathon banks in his first fight as a heavyweight. He looked good, I know the guy was a nobody but banks brought speed skill and power to that fight.
I think Adamec will be a good challenge for any heavyweight.
