damn dude must really be trying to get focused again..good to see that his hard work in the gym is paying off.. That said he would still Ko adamek even if he came in at 260
LOL I should be Chris PR person!
j/k Marylyn if you read this
he entered camp the lightest he had been in some time and actually lighter than his fight with Minto so the weight was easy to make
he had good sparring from Fres Oquendo, Ashanti Jordan, Lateef Kayode and Travis Kaufman
he knows how important this fight is and is acting accordingly
That's really great news, E. I remember after the McCline fight he said that he would weigh in around 245 for Klitschko. Once he broke that promise I gave up all hope on him.
Oh shit, he does look slim! Well, hope Adamek enjoys his nap. Kinda sad because I would like to see Haye-Adamek next.
You can see Arreola/Haye next instead. Thats probably who Arreola would want if he beats Adamek. Arreola would get the opportunity again to be the first Mexican to become a heavyweight champ. This time he has a good shot at winning it.
Adamek looks lanky to me. I doubt he can deal with Arreola's power.
Can he fight backwards?
I think the Whitherspoon fight taught me that Arreola can deal with speed, but needs time.
From you , Steve Kim, and somebody else on here said something too...
In one of his interviews, he said he plans on weighing in around 230. I didn't believe it because that's shooting for the stars, but if he gets anything near there then that would be great.

From everything I am hearing this is the best shape Arreola has been in since the Witherspoon fight... Which is very good news...
just curious but who did you hear this from?
Really? That is great. Well not for Adamek because he's done by the 7th round if that's the case.
Yea man, I am hearing he will weigh in between 240-245. That is great because in his last 5 fights he has been 250+...

Adamek is not going to want to go toe2toe with Arreola, if he does then he gives the advantages all to Arreola. You don't give your opponent the advantages. I think it would be idiotic if Adamek tried to fight Arreolas fight. But at the same time I'm not sure If Adamek is going to have a choice if Arreola pressures him great and forces that type of fight.
My prediction mid-round stoppage by Arreola.
I agree it's not in his best interest to go toe to toe, at least until the later rounds if/when Arreola is tiring. But like you say he might not have a choice and Adamek is not exactly the slickest boxer out there, even though he might've looked that way a little against Golota.
Should be a candidate for FOTY, I'm still working on picking a winner, might have to wait and see what Arreola weighs.
Important fight. It'll show if Cris is serious about being a threat to almost everyone in the division and whether Adamek has the chin and power to hang with the big boys.
But yeah, a week out or so, Arreola isn't looking too bad.
