Chris Arreola vs Tomasz Adamek

[Mikhnienko]

look man, when i say all night i mean consisntently. it isnt like estrada got lucky a couple of times. he was able to connect ALOT. not CONSTANTLY but ALOT, its that simple. he beat estrada soley based off the fact he was the superior fighter but the size difference showed in the fight, adamek at his natural weight would not of had as competitive as a fight he had with someone of estrada's caliber, it would of been easy for him. and no, when i say HURT i mean he was affected by the punch, not like he was reeling across the ring. against an opponent with a 20 percent KO ratio, thats a bad sign. BECAUSE HE DOESNT BELONG AT HEAVYWEIGHT. not on the top level atleast. i like adamek, alot. but it aggitates me why he left the weight he was THE MAN at to come to a higher division and get himself KOed by guys simply because he was to small, that is all.

I don't completely agree but fair criticizm. How come i don't see you saying the same thing so vehemently about Haye though?

I made a thread, look at my comparision and please explain why no talks about Haye needing to drop down, most have him "saving" the division, this mentality baffles me that's all.

Post in the thread i made, seriously, you're a good poster and know your stuff i just genuinly would like to hear your explaination for why you percieve them differently.

Considering it was only Adamek's 2nd fight at heavyweight, I thought he looked pretty good, at least as good as Povetkin (though it's been a while since I last saw that fight so maybe I'm mistaken). My biggest fear was that the added mass would slow him down in the later rounds, and while he did seem to gas a little down the stretch he was still able to consistently tatto Estrada's head and body with sharp combinations. His speed was good and whilst his punches never visibly hurt Estrada, they were definitely having an effect. He did get tagged quite a lot, especially in the early rounds, which doesn't bode well for his future at HW, and a fighter like Arreola or Peter would most likely KO him, to say nothing of the Klits. Still I'm not gonna join the ranks calling for Adamek to go back down to cruiser. There are some great potential matchups for him in the near future: Walker, Rogan, Boytsov, Povetkin, Haye... I guess I never expected Adamek to be a world beater, just provide some much needed excitement into the HW division, which he will definitely do.

adamek is a small average heavyweight... and arreola is a fat average heavyweight.. that fight would suck..

I'd still favor Arreola.

Adamek still gets hit a lot and Arreola will always be in his face putting constant pressure on something Estrada didn't do and still gave him a hard fight(which I thought Adamek clearly won) but on the other hand Arreola ain't as good defensively as Estrda.
