i got Hopkins but i'm kinda worried
Adamek looks a far more risky opponent than Pavlik right now, and at a higher weight too
Like i said, He is facing a younger, Stronger, Bigger and quicker fighter.
IMO, Adamek takes this
He borderline executed Pavlik if u ask me. Won every round except maybe 1.
And I thought Pavlik didn't look the same in his fight with Rubio - B-Hop took something away from him permanently.
HIT and HOLD HOPKINS will cheat his way to another boring win. HIT then HOLD,HIT then hold,then decide when to let go before your opponent knows hit again then hold.Starting to get HOPKINS illegal gameplan yet.If the ref EVER took points for holding HOPKINS wouldn't last 4 rounds.Hes really become an EMBARRASSMENT -EVEN PAVLIK, he was holding ALL fight right up to the 12th.The guy can't compete with just athletism anymore so he NEEDS to hold and since more and more refs let this go on ,more and more fighters that could NEVER compete before, now can hang with the elites besides having terrible flaws like shaky chins(HATTON,KLITSHKO,BERTO)AGE(HOPKINS and now MOSLEY).I love what CALZAGHE said when asked about a rematch"why,he doesn't come to fight he comes to hold and SPOIL the fight,he hasn't actually EXECUTED in a long time"

Adamek will appear much faster than Pavlik, and I have to be honest. At the moment, Adamek's chin is completely out of control. I wouldn't be so shocked if all those shots on him have begun to accumulate but.. I think this would be a terrible fight for B-Hop. I'd be shocked if both him and Nazim Richardson couldn't see that.
Are you kiddin me Hopkins is gonna school this fool. Adamek had his ass handed to him by a green Chad Dawson and Hopkins will do the same things except he will make zero mistakes doing it. If Hopkins is strong at this weight I see him frustrating and wearing Adamek down and possibly hurting Adamek late getting a stoppage. Adamek trys to pressure and does so effectively but he only has success when his opponents try to trade with him on his terms, you think Hopkins will do that? Can you imagine the mental fatigue on a boxer to pursue your opponent only to get walked into shots all night long and never put solid leather on them?
Hopkins is 44, and is too old to be moving up to CW.
How is he going to tie up and boss someone Younger, Bigger and faster than him?
Personally feel Adakmek wins, thought want to see Hopkins take it
bhop by razor thin decision. He will have to turn this into a stinker bcuz adamek can think in the ring, has excellent timing and power, and a stone chin. My boy bhop is a master boxer though. I don't like the matchup bcuz I don't think the fight will b entertaining
Bhop should edge him in a close UD. Adamek would get his rds wit workrate, but Bhop would counter him all nite long and land enuf of the cleaner and harder blows to win, 116-112 or 115-113.
You don't know what your talking about. Adamek is a robot. Hopkins will whip him.
Is he robotic yes? Is he naturally larger, stronger and more durable than Pavlik? Also, yes. I'll be pretty shocked if B-Hop takes this fight. NSB fans see someone as robotic then turn their ears off. Adamek's physical strengths make him a much more dynamic & effective fighter than many posters realize.
