    There are not that many fighters that can prepare you for Klit and not be dangerous as well. This guy is tall and beatable. Good choice.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I don't see how McBride is going to help him prepare for a Klitschko? I mean he's a big guy but he's slower than global warming. This will be another beatdown ala Bobby Gunn. He'd learn more from fighting Michael Grant again or Kali Meehan. Or hell, throw him in with Ray Austin.

    Guys, Adamek will get >35% of all income from Klitschko fight. At least that's what Adamek's promotor said in some interview. They've been also praising Klits for their generosity but at the same time they mentioned someting about "great deal of money being available at that time in Poland" (promotion of new soccer stadiums for Euro 2012), which I think is the key here.
    As for Golota fight, I wouldn't be surprised if he earned less than 500K for that. The fight was available on open TV channel. September Klitschko fight will be the first PPV event in Poland.

    As for McBride - it sucks, but it wouldn't have happened if he didn't sign with Klits. Still, what annoys me more is not the fight itself, but the fact that it will probably be the main event. Bouts like this should be an undercard.

    It's a stay busy fight, I don't see the problem. Stay busy then fight a Klit. Something David "the mouth and watch me fight a bum a year" Haye could never accomplish. Adamek is good for the division, nobody who supports Haye should ever criticise someone like Adamek.

    You know what I mean.

    I like a heavyweight who fights regularly and just gets the job done. Adamek is a solid, hard working professional. Haye is a big mouthed self publicist and who is actually going to fight the Klits first? Adamek has gone up to heavyweight, seen what he can handle and is now getting ready for the big one. Haye cancelled a bunch of fights, made off with the easiest belt and on the way never once shut up regarding the Klits who he refuses to fight. He has made himself a laughing stock because of it. I can't take him seriously as a fighter because he hasn't shown that he can handle a top HW. Even Evander Holyfield looked better against Valuev than Haye.

    Haye pisses me off because he makes a mockery of the sport. Adamek is just staying busy against McBride in preparation for a fight that WILL come off. I can go easy on him for that. What has Haye got lined up to make up for Harrison? Diddley squat.

    If thats aimed at me Miles then I am no Haye supporter, not in a million years. I just genuinely think that McBride is absolutely no prep for Klits. I'm amazed that everyone is for it. He isn't fighting Klit till september, so the only fight he's having in between is McBrdie. I say Adamek gets smashed by Klit anyhoooooo..............

    in all honesty, who else is there to "help prep him" for either Klitchsko? and well he can't fare any worse than Haye would

    see that would be valid if Haye went ahead and made the fight with either Wlad or Vitali, but he didn't

    he'll probably end up fighting Holyfield or McCall who got a "big win" against Oquendo

    I doubt Haye would fight McCall, he's one of those guys that pulls off a win after looking like crap against a journeyman. You never know what your gonna get with him. Plus he's never been stopped(other than crying and not fighting against Lewis).
