By Keith Idec - Tomasz Adamek took a close look at Cristobal Arreola on Dec. 5 in Atlantic City, where Arreola annihilated an overmatched-but-brave Brian Minto.
Adamek left Boardwalk Hall that night certain he can beat Arreola, despite the 6-foot-4, 250-pound Arreola’s size and strength advantages over the 6-1, 220-pound Adamek.
Nothing that occurred Feb. 6 at Prudential Center in Newark has changed his mind.
Adamek (40-1, 27 KOs) barely beat a smaller, lighter-punching Jason Estrada two weeks ago, but he happily accepted an April 24 fight against Arreola (28-1, 25 KOs) at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif.
The 12-round fight, which will be the main event of an HBO “Boxing After Dark” telecast, was officially announced during a press conference there Friday.
“He’s a strong guy and a good boxer,” Adamek said, “but I believe in my technique, I have a good chin and I have speed.”
The Polish-born, New Jersey-based Adamek’s chin and heart are unquestionable, but there is a large faction of fight fans and media members that don’t believe he’ll be able to withstand Arreola’s power. Estrada even questioned Adamek’s decision to challenge Arreola after their 12-round battle resulted in a unanimous decision win for Adamek. [Click Here To Read More]
