Adamek v Arreola in the works for 24 April

[El Kabong]

I think this is an ok fight for Adamek. Arreola is fat, he's out of shape, and he can be sloppy. Adamek does get hit a little too much, but he's a solid fighter, I think he could take this fight, it's not a slam dunk for Arreola, by no means.

The absolute WORST fight for Arreola would be Eddie Chambers

[Spicoli]

Not keen on Adamek at full time heavy.Has the tools to bother Arreola but inevitably think sturdy but yes rotund Chris sucks him into a fire fight.Cunningham and Banks freeze Adamek,Arreola able and willing to jump on him for finish.He's proven he can soak up punishment from a monster in Vitali and dont think Adamek keeps his head down the stretch.

Adamek can get as wreckless as you'll find when he gets into slug-outs. This will work very poorly for him against Arreola. I like Adamek a lot, but I agree he should stay at Cruiser.

This is a very interesting fight. I'm not 100% sure who I think will win, but I'm leaning towards Arreola. Both are going to get hit, but Arreola has the better chin and he hits harder. This is a potential FOTY candidate, when was the last time we could say that about a HW fight?

Looks good on paper, bad fight for Adamek, i'm going with Arreola. Estrada is hot and cold, who knows which one will show up, even still, Estrada is no prize heavyweight.

[Nameless]

Adamek can sure bang and sustain good punches. If that fight happens, I go with him for an unanimous decision dancing all around Burritos Belly for a 12 rounds tango.

I agree Adamek can sustain good punches...from a cruiserweight. Not a heavyweight who hits hard like Arreola.

Lyle, why do you think Chambers would give Arreola problems? I have the same problem with Chambers that I do with Adamek or Minto. They are too small to fight at heavyweight. They'll beat slower fighters, but once they step in the ring with someone who is bigger and has comparable speed that can box, they'll lose. Chambers came in at 208 in his last fight. He should be at cruiserweight like Adamek.


After thinking about it, Adamek should get heaps of credit for taking on Arreola. He fought Chad Dawson at light heavyweight, Steve Cunningham at cruiserweight, and Chris Arreola at heavyweight? Geez. Who won't this guy fight? He must be bordering the top twenty p4p right now and a win over Arreola he should break top ten. One thing even Miles will agree on is that Arreola is no John Ruiz. Jumping up from light heavyweight to beat Arreola is a big statement.

Not to mention, this is probably the most exciting heavyweight fight in ages.

This is not a good fight for Adamek I would put on a double header and have them on separate bouts before I would have these 2 go at it. If Adamek wants a title shot I would chose a different path.
