    Adamek is the better fighter p4p. I'd rather see him come in around 210-215. I think he'll be more effective and faster. but more then likely he'll come in over 220.

    Tough pick, but i'm going to to go with Adamek late TKO or close UD

        Arreola by KO in the later rounds because Adamek is going to get worn down from the accumulation of power punches.

            If a monster in Vitali couldn't stop Arreola coming forward then I'm not liking Adamek's chances. However, hopefully he opens up on the fat arse and KOs him in 2 with a do or die effort.

              Arreola is the much bigger man. He's 6'3.5" while Adamek is listed by BoxRec as 6'1.5" which makes sense having seen his fights.

              That's 2" height difference, but the biggest difference is in bone structure. Arreola is naturally thicker, Adamek is naturally finer-boned and slimmer. His 220 pounds do not appear natural on him, he looked normal at 200.

              At age 28, Arreola is 260 pounds. Adamek fought at 175 when he was age 30 - no way could Arreola fight at light heavyweight at this time.

              People will say Arreola fought at 175 in the amateurs when he was age 18 or 19. At that age, Adamek fought at 160 or probably less. I remember being a slender kid at age 18 weighing 153, but my natural weight at nearly age 24 is about 182 (without weight training about 173). People "fill out" in their early 20s as their muscles continue to develop and their bones thicken, as was the case with Arreola.

              Arreola is too big and too strong for Adamek. Tomasz will last longer than Minto, but eventually he'll get stopped, probably in the 8th or 9th round.
              I tend to agree with all of this, hover size isn't everything, If I was adamek, i'd come in at 205lbs, and try to be the quicker man, stay away from areolla and outbox him, the problem is, Areolla is heavy handed, and actually has a bit of speed in his hands, I don't think Adamek has the pop at heavyweight to make Areolla fight tentativley.

              I pick Areolla to win, but im going to give Adamek credit and say Areolla actually wins a decision, by forcing Adamek onto the back foot, and keeping him there most of the fight. Arreola Ud on effective agression and pressure.

                I think Adamek is going to win this one. Lets face it people. Arreola needs to make changes. Beer and tacos isn't doing him well. If Arreola would loose some fat, he would be a dominate HW due to how tough he is.

                  Areollas biggest assets are size and power, he isn't a skilled boxer, he would be less effective if he was 220-230lbs imo.

                      Arreola will KO Adamek.

                      Vitali Klitschko's stock will continue to rise.
