To bad hes not from the Ukraine or whatever country you represent. So sad, you guys have to root for a continent rather than your own country. The state of Michigan, yes a state which is only 1/50th of America which is one country produces more boxers than your beloved Klitchkos country. But we are soft.

I'm half Ukrainian/half Russian, but I support all Slavic fighters. Adamek is from Gilowice, Poland which is located near the Ukrainian/Polish border.

Yes but why is he called Goral/The Highlander?? There are no mountains in east Poland as far as I know. I've seen Zywiec on the map and it lies in the most mountainous area of Poland. The ONLY mountainous area that is!

Why doesn't Adamek have a normal Polish last name? My last name is Olszewski, just like the great former womens world champion Elieen Olszewski.

Ok, now I've come to the bottom of it. Gilowice is a village in the Zywiec county.

Not all Poles have surnames ending with a ski. Just like Russians or Ukrainians. Some end with icz and some with ek.
