Great matchup.

I feel Adamek would win. He seems very strong at cruiserweight.

Adamek's chin would be tested by Jirov. Jirov tends to be flat footed, Adamek would have to use the ring and have plenty of movement to be successful, but if he stands and trade, jirov knocks him out.

You do realize that he didn't fight his entire career like he did in the Toney fight? Jirov had better footwork than Adamek, check him out early in his career.

I'm a huge fan of both but i think a prime Jirov with a correct gameplan would take Adamek. **** a gameplan though, i know it would degenerate into a toe-to-toe bloodbath in a battle of chins,heart, and balls.

Those are 2 fighters who could step back in time, any era, and compete.

Gr8 fight. I'd have to go wit Jirov tho. In an all out war, Jirov's body attack would make the difference.

I have Jirov on these.............remember the bodyshots too..............

agree for the same reasons.
jirov could take a beating and still come back.

Would have been a good match up I think Jirov would win.

Something tells me either guy gets dropped/rocked/hurt and I think Adamek would walk out with a solid MD, or SD in a close fight.

I'll go with Jirov too.
