What a dumbass statement.


After Johnathon knocks out Adamek and becomes the American David Haye maybe at least people will take the time to spell his name right.

Cruiserweight division has produced some really good fights over the last 5-6 years.

I agree on the bold...

Other part I don't think so... We have yet to see Banks tested, and we don't know how his chin reacts to a world class fighter. Adamek has a great chin by the way.

Nonetheless... I am excited for the fight. It should be great.

Exactly. Both Mormeck-Bell fights, Haye's fights against Enzo and Mormeck. Cunningham stopping Huck late plus his fight with Adamek is FOTY material. Alexeev upset by an unrelenting and unknown slugger, Guillermo Jones going Muhammad Ali on First Arslan.

Some barnburners also like Yoan Pablo HErnandez getting smoked by Wayne Braithwaite and Banks' fight with Eliseo Castillo was dramatic and exciting as well.

If you live in Britain you can turn on your TV very couple months and watch Herbie Hide beat the snot out of some cab driver with a name nobody can pronounce.

I know Adamek is the clear favorite and Banks doesen't have the greatest chin but he hits much harder and despite his chin Adamek was still hurt by the relatively light hitting Cunningham.

Adamek will come forward and give Banks his best chance to win the fight. Make no mistake either, Banks has legitimate knockout power in either hand. If he gets Adamek hurt he will be able to finish him.

One thing for sure is that I have never seen Adamek in a boring fight unlike most recent heavyweight fights.
