Adamek vs McBride..... Is this a joke?

[No Contest]

Preparation is KEY......... I know he doesn't want to be going life and death with an opponent before Klitschko, but Kevin McBride is not good prep at all for a Klit.

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.

As was Audley Harrison

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).

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.

Errrm...Miles. He fought 2 in 2010. So thats egg all over your face!

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.

completely agree, hell even Wlad was doing the same thing, taking up a tune up with Chisora then take on Haye, but well we know how that turned out

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

Actually, Diddley Squat pulled out of contract negotaitions this morning.

Harrison is available

Haha......

Who else for Preparation, who else Someone ranked inside the Top 200 Heavyweights on Boxrec would be a fuckin start............. Atleast when he fought Maddalone he was almost ranked inside the top 100........

If someone ranked in the top 10 of any division tried to sign a fight with a guy ranked outside the top 200 it would be labelled a JOKE on any planet........... IMO

There isn't really anyone. Sergei Lyakhovich is probably the best bet out there.

Size wise Tyson Fury is the answer but that just isn't going to happen.

The best prep for a Klitschko is quite simply the other one, but it wouldn't be a warm up would it?

[amat]

Kevin McBride? Come on, why even fight why not just spar the guy?

Exactly..... I mean, McBride is rated in the lofty position of 212 by Boxrec. Fucks sake. That kinda shit shouldn't even get sanctioned by any boxing board of control anywhere on the planet. Its a total waste of a fight camp IMHO.

[No Contest]

If he's fighting McBride solely on the basis of him being 6'6", he's gonna be in for a rude awakening when he faces a Klitschko who has either way more speed (Wlad) or way more power (Vitali).

Yeah exactly, but Botha was deemed unfit to fight Tyson Fury... I really dont know about these boxing commissions these days. Money talks I guess.

The mind truly boggles as to why this fight is on and I can't believe people are so understanding about it. McBride was beat months back by Matt Skelton for fucks sake, and smashed up a few years back by Andrew Golota, which i'm sure was 2006 or 07 without looking. HaHa.

I wonder who backs Kevin McBride management wise?
