Adamek vs. Estrada coming on soon

[Gandalf]

Bring on Haye v Adamek.

I think that fight is inevitable so long as Haye doesn't underestimate anyone before it. But Haye is pretty much better in every department for me, he is faster, hits harder, has better fundamental boxing skills but lacks one thing on Adamek.... the chin.

I still think Haye would be too much for him quite clearly though and I see Haye winning by Ko in the mid rounds.

Oh and on a side note, my Haye-Ruiz tickets came wednesday, bit annoyed that Warren has put the blocker on Ryan Rhodes being on the card, just hoping he agree's to letting De Gale fight Groves.

Personally, I think that Adamek would be too rugged for Haye and that he would grind him down somewhere in the latest rounds. That would be an interesting fight indeed if ever it can be made someday.

That's my line of thinking. Adamek would stay with Haye for several rounds making him work and then tighten up the pressure. I can see Haye wilting, Haye would need a KO to win, which might happen too.

Well neither man has fought anyone of the quality of the other but I think Haye's power and speed would be the telling factor in this fight. He would have to watch out for Adamek trying to amke it his kind of fight but after watching the Valuev fight I think Haye now has it in his arsenal to fight to a strict fight plan and not play into the strengths of an opponent.

I am a big Adamek fan, but he's not going to make it to a Haye fight because Arreola will blow him out of the water first. His punching power didn't translate to heavyweight and he has fast but not lightning fast. Arreola would eat him for breakfast literally .

How did everyone score this fight? Cause I can't understand how Estrada tought he won and so did Alexander Povetkin in an interview. ( both are biased obviously) I scored it 117-111 Adamek,

Yea, I didn't understand that at all. Estrada didn't do close to enough to win.

Part of that may be the US commentary, which I felt was quite pro-Adamek. I watched without commentary & had it 115-113 to Adamek. I don't think Estrada won, but I can see an argument either way, there were a couple of close rounds that I gave to Adamek, but then I could also see it a round or so wider.

That was pretty much my score. I may have it 116-112 - I need to watch it again. I saw the fight live and felt like Estrada didn't do enough.
