Can somebody tell me about Flores? I don't think too highly from Adamek

[egreezy]

HBO or Showtime needs to step up and put up money for Cunningham-AdamekII to happen. Instead of this pointless mandatory fight. Flores is not that great.

Flores by UD!! then he will finally get some respect!

[The Hammer]

Good matchup to look forward to!

I can't see Flores standing up to Adamek's power for 12 rounds. Though, to be honest, the only cruiser I could see beating Adamek at all is Cunningham in a rematch.

Flores couldn't stand Adamek's power??!! Flores is way bigger than Tomaz, and unlike Cunningham he can pop a little. I still say Flores by UD or even late rd KO

Adamek is in the top three, but Alexander Alexeev is better.

But Universum is not managing Alexeev very wisely - he needs to step up NOW, they are wasting his talent.

Pop a little? Flores doesn't carry much power. If it is more than Cunningham, it still isn't enough to bother Adamek, who carries huge power himself. Flores is bigger than him, but that doesn't mean he'll be even half as strong. This may be a mismatch. Flores one hope, however, is that he moves laterally more consistently than Cunningham does. That really bothered Adamek in the Dawson loss.

Alexeev looks great, we have no idea how he'll stand up to a real test. Calloway was a test in terms of whether or not he could get him out of there and, if he could, how fast, but it wasn't the sort of test where we see how Alexeev reacts to being threatened. I still view Alexeev as a prospect.
