| Flores: Tomasz Adamek is Capable of Outboxing Pulev
|
|
By Luke Furman Top cruiserweight contender BJ Flores, who also serves as an expert analyst for NBC Sports, gives for two division champion Tomasz Adamek (48-2, 29 KOs) a good shot to defeat undefeated Kubrat Pulev (17-0, 9 KOs), the reigning European champion. Adamek and Pulev will have to face each other in an IBF final eliminator and the winner will get a crack at WBO/IBO/WBA/IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko. Flores believes Adamek is capable of outboxing Pulev in a similar manner as he did several years ago against the bigger and stronger Chris Arreola. Flores was one of the ringside broadcasters for Adamek's rematch with Steve Cunningham on Saturday night. Like many other experts, Flores scored the fight for Cunningham - 115-113. "Adamek is going to fight Kubrat Pulev in that IBF eliminator to get Wladimir. With Pulev, he's got a shot [to win] because he can outbox Pulev, but with Cunningham that wasn't the case and Wladimir is a tough fight for anybody," Flores said.

[QUOTE=Arthur Daley]I doubt Flores has followed Pulev at all. A weak punching faded come forward agressor like Adamek will get utterly mauled by Pulev. Pulev will stop him late after dominating with the jab. This is a bad, bad fight for Adamek. I'm not actually convinced he'll take the fight.[/QU... |

In the modern era of super HWs, I really don´t understand why any cruiser would move up in weight. Money? It can´t be that different when there´s zero chance of ever getting a major title. Haye came close, but even he couldn´t compete with a Klitschko. And after K bros, Pulev is the smallest HW I... |
