By Jake Donovan - There goes another one.
Whether you’re an active cruiserweight, or just someone who longs for the type of long-term success that has forever eluded the division, it’s what you had to be thinking upon notice that Tomasz Adamek dumped an alphabet belt earlier this week.
Sure, he remains the lineal champion, but the news coming out of the training camp for his upcoming all-Poland super fight with Andrew Golota at the Lodz (Poland) Arena this Saturday sounded the same as every other cruiserweight who sought to test the heavyweight waters.
Much like a Lay’s potato chip, you can’t have just one.
Nearly every other cruiserweight worth a damn has proven this theory to be true, and all signs point towards Adamek (38-1, 26KO) eventually following that script.
Saturday marks Adamek’s first official foray into the heavyweight division after a ten-year career spent at the light heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions. He’s enjoyed championship reigns in each as well as coming out on the winning end of new fewer than three Fight of the Year candidate - his pair of light heavyweight title bouts with Paul Briggs and last winter’s instant classic with Steve Cunningham.
