Honestly, I think that it is a great move and I explain why:

It's Adamek's 4th fight in 12 months, that's a LOT. It would be a bit bold to put him against a top contender with a 4th fight in less than a year, especially because he did climb the rungs pretty well lately. Secondly, this is a good little test for Adamek against the huge guys, especially if he seeks to fight one of the K eventually. So all in all: 1) it keeps him active without burning him, 2) allow him to test the big guys 3) get him and Main Event another pay check in the meantime.

For these reasons I think it is very good, we all know Grant is nowhere close of somebody impressive but in the circumstances, it is a really good overall option.
Exactly. In this fight Adamek is going to try out afew things and get use to being in the ring with a bigger man. Its more than just a mark in time fight. He wants to test his strength up close against an 18st man. I expect him to practice some moves, show some quick footwork and pretty much go through the motions. Punching up is something Haye had to do vs Valuev and something he will have to do again vs the Klitschkos. Same goes for Adamek. Its a glorified sparring session but it is a good learning experience cuz it wasnt too log ago Grant was being bigged up as the future of the division.
