    Tomasz Adamek may fight Jonathan Banks

    According to fight news, Adamek may fight Banks on Feb 27:

    2009 Adamek to face Banks?

    By Lee Bates

    Word is that newly crowned IBF cruiserweight champion Tomas Adamek (36-1, 24 KOs) of Poland will make the first defense of his title against world ranked challenger Jonathan Banks (20-0, 14 KOs). The bout would take place February 27th at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey and be aired live on a special edition of SHOWTIME’s acclaimed ShoBox series. Adamek won the title at the same venue on December 11th, dethroning champion Steve Cunningham in front of a large Polish crowd. Banks was to fight Enzo Maccarinelli for the vacant WBO belt in December, but had to pull out with an ankle injury.

      Intresting news Adamek will be a harder fight for him compared to Enzo, if Mormeck wins his come back fight i would love to see Mormeck vs Adamek that would be a good fight.

        Since the fight on Feb 27 will be televised by Showtime and so will give him some US exposure, Jonathan may find it a better option. Also, he will not have to deal with any home ref in the UK, if he chooses to fight Adamek instead.

        But I agree Adamek is a tougher opponent than Maccarinelli.

          Banks looked awful against that Italian journeyman in his last fight. He seems to have a stamina problem.

          Adamek would stop Banks

              Enzo sucks

              who has he beat?


              Adamek only has 5 fights at cruiserweight and he has already beaten Steve Cunningham and O'Neil Bell. He is the undisputed Cruiserweight Champion of the world!

              Adamek would stop the weak chinned Enzo for sure

                The fight has to happen enzo vs adamek! Enzo got stronger after his loss vs david haye! Before the fight enzo vs haye Enzo was the man in cruiserweight!
                And he is gonna be champ again cause he is the biggest puncher out there in cruiserweight division!

                  Enzo was a paper champion

                  Adamek is the undisputed cruiserweight champ, his wins over Cunningham and Bell are better than anything on Enzo's resume.

                    If Adamek and Maccarinelli ever fight, I'll bet 50 K on Adamek with whoever wants it.
