German boxing legend Dariusz Michalczewski has made a prediction that heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek will stop the much bigger Michael Grant in the late rounds of their fight on Saturday. Michalczewski says Grant was a force over ten years ago, not no longer.
"Grant was a good 11 years ago, when he beat Andrew Golota. Of course, Adamek should be alert, just like in any fight. Grant is big, but 20-years ago near my championship end, I boxed a big lefthander from Holland and beat him without problems," Michalczewski told boxingnews.pl. "Adamek should stop him in round seven, round eight, round nine at most. The last good fight by Grant was in 1999."
Michalczewski is not sure if a fight is already planned between Adamek and one of the Klitschko brothers; he advises Adamek to take another fight to prepare if he is able to.
"I do not know whether Tomasz has already planned a fight with one of the Klitschko brothers. Perhaps, he should have one more fight with someone who is stronger than Grant," Michalczewski said.
