Comments Thread For: Tomasz Adamek: "Chris Arreola Will Be a Difficult Opponent"

[βetamax]

I like Adamek in this one. His speed looked pretty good against Golota and I think it might cause problems for Arreola who mostly been in there with fat plodders like himself. He can also take a good punch.

adamek may actually have to learn how to fight on the back foot here, if he doesn't then this fight won't go past 5 rnds.

arreola is the much bigger man, he has the heavier hands, throws punches in fluid combinations and can take anything that adamek throws at him.

Arreola ate (LOL) Vitali's biggest punches and never really got hurt so I don't see Adamek doing much damage. Against Vitali Chris had the same problem everyone has against Vitali. Too much height and to much reach but against Adamek Chris hold all the size advantages and gets on the inside easy. I see Chris stopping Adamek late in the fight.

If Adamek can take Arreola's punch he could win this, I wish we could have seen Mormeck vs Adamek a few years back at cruiserweight that would have been a great fight.

Gotta give Adamek props here. He's not ducking anyone at heavyweight. Should be a great fight for the fans, I agree.

My thoughts exactly.

Adamek is too small for heavyweight, he's going to be badly beaten up by Arreola. He may last into the later rounds, but only if he goes on the backfoot as you say.

Along with being bigger and stronger, Arreola is a bad style matchup for Adamek because of those fluid combinations you mentioned.

Why does Ross Greenburg want Adamek to fight Arreola who outweighs him by 50 pounds? Earlier this year Greenburg turned down Adamek vs. Hopkins, Adamek vs. Johnson and Adamek vs. Cunningham II?

Adamek can win fairly easily if he doesn't get careless, areolla is ****.

Yes that would have been a good one.

No, Arreola isn't pretty, but he's top ten, maybe even top five among the heavyweights.

Look what he did to Minto, who had never been stopped before. And he's stopped Witherspoon (officially DQ), Wills and several others who had never previously failed to make the final bell.

Arreola will get TKOd By Adamek.


Adamek have better skills and as much power and a good chin.
