Hopkins vs. Adamek To Take Place on July 11?

[slicksouthpaw16]

what about tarver?

I don't think Tarver was as dangerous as Adamek, he wasn't as strong and he also isn't as big. Tarver was also not necessarily a young guy either( and he certainly didn't fight like one). In fact i like Adamek over that same version of Tarver(not to take anything away from Hopkins of course)

I think Bernard is making a mistake if he thinks Adamek is one dimensional. You should check out the first few rounds of Adamek/Briggs. Adamek controlled him with his left jab, and threw quick combination's then stepped to the side. I can't see how Hopkins will keep Adamek off of him being the smaller man, not having the power to keep him honest ( compared to the punchers Adamek fought) and gassing out in the late rounds( which i see as there will be a lot of clinches in this fight and Hopkins will be forced to fight Adamek off on a lot of occasions because he will be coming in a lot).

That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm a huge hopkins fan but this fight worries me MUCH more than a fight with Dawson. If I were to choose the easier opponent, I'd go with Dawson, as Dawson is hugely overrated right now after beating a washed up Tarver and barely sneaking by Johnson, whereas Adamek is really on top of his game and riding the high of two sensational wins.

Hopkins would out point Dawson, or at the absolute worst lose an extremely close, controversial decision. Against Adamek, a guy with HUGE power and is much bigger, any thing can happen. You just don't know how this fight will play out.

Didnt Dawson beat Adamek?? Overrated??

After watching, Adamek and Hopkins last 5 fights, I think Hopkins is getting KTFO. Adamek is too big and strong for Hopkins, he have a great chin and he is very patient in the ring also. Hopkins will look good te first 3 rounds, after that hell get beat up by Adamek, to the body and head, shot by shot, 1 by 1 and like in round 9 Adamek, wll press the gas pedal, and KTFo Hopkins!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOO!! you must hate Hopkins to make a comment like that
no one knocks Hopkins out.
no one

Adamek should not take this fight.

He has nothing to gain if he wins, and everything to lose if he's defeated.

Adamek is slow, no movement, comes forward in straight lines, sounds familiar.
Just a bigger, lesser skilled version of Pavlik with a better chin and hits harder.

Adamek should not take this fight.

He has nothing to gain if he wins, and everything to lose if he's defeated.

he makes the biggest payday he's ever had.
you don't think adamek is bigger, stronger and faster than pavlik?

[kingprodigy10]

i think hopkins wins by decision (as usual) and then calls out David Haye

[Slater P Persin]

Adamek should not take this fight.

He has nothing to gain if he wins, and everything to lose if he's defeated.

He has allot to gain if he wins.

[Abstraction]

Hopkins should not take this.

At 44, pointless moving up to CW and taking on the Best there, really is.

Adamek's youth and bigger size will be enough.

Adamek by UD, though i'd like Hopkins to win
