Adamek vs. Gunn To Happen, July 11 in Newark

[The Hammer]

i hate this fight. Make no mistake Adamek is a huge draw.

I was at 2 of his fights and attendance was 22k at one place and 13 k at the other, both sell outs.

I swear I was in frickin Poland.

I think Adamek could do quite well in any major us city.

I've witnessed this first hand.

He definitely has some bargaining power at this stage of the game.

You are absolutely right.

What bothers me is that HBO and Showtime turned down Adamek-Johnson, but somehow found Dawson-Tarver II good enough to have on. And then, Adamek-Godfrey was turned down as a ShoBox fight.

The decision-makers at Showtime and HBO must be Euro-haters like daggum.

Ive seen Gunn fight. The Enzo fight was a bull**** stoppage. This man can fight. This will be a lot more competitive then you all think.

Comcast will televise the fight? I think Versus is owned by Comcast, is it Versus?

I was anticipating Adamek's next fight but not against someone like Gunn...

I hope so.

He's won his last three by KO or TKO, against opponents who at least had winning records.

But Godfrey or Braithwaite would be better on Adamek's resume, and would make for a more entertaining fight.

Co-sign homey. Gunn is decent I guess. You'd think Adamek coulda got a better fight than that tho.

Adamek and Guerillmo Jones should just get it on in Germany or something.

Belt unfication and all that.

I'd be down for it.

Jones vs Adamek would be great! As would Adamek vs. Fragomeni.

I read that Tomasz said in an interview reported by the Polish media a couple of days ago that he wants to fight Fragomeni.

lol adamek is not a huge draw, nobody outside of america knows who he is, people keep saying hopkins priced himself out, Adamek is fighting a bum for peanuts instead of fighting hopkins for more money and a hell of alot more recognition if he wins.

No, nearly three times as many people came out for Adamek's last fight as attended Dawson-Tarver.

Adamek is well-known and popular in the large Polish communities around Chicago and New Jersey, and is a household name in his native Poland. And his popularity has been growing among boxing fans outside the Polish community, because of his gritty, hard-punching, crowd-pleasing style.

Tomasz is arguably a bigger draw than Borenard Hopkins, because Hopkins is a very negative, defensive fighter, and his fights have all been ending in draws the past few years.

I'm an Adamek fan, but he's ripping off his loyal and brilliant fans with this absolute disgrace of a fight. He's been avoided a little, yes, but this fight is a waste of time.

But hey, sounds like his fans just like to support him no matter what, and I respect that...I just want them to get something back for their money, instead of a pointless blowout.
