It's a sub-ethnic group of Slavic people. Highlanders that live in the Carpathian mountians around the boarders of Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic. Adamek is a Goral.

Cool.

I'll still call him "Tomek", though.

10 pounds less is good, but he still looks soft in the middle. I think it would be better if tried to move some of that gut with more core training, like sit ups and leg lifts, than just trying to lose the weight. 250 might be OK with better definition, 240 might be too small for him now.

You're trying to say that styles make fights, something that everybody knows, you're not being innovative or anything. Where you fail miserably is in analyzing the styles: Dawson hits much weaker than Arreola, Arreola hits hard plus Adamek's defence is not very good, he gets by with his good chin, but a good chin at lighter weights doesn't mean you have a good HW chin. Estrada hit Adamek everytime he threw, no problem.

Your examples with lighter fighters jumping divisions doesn't work, jumping from MW to SMW, or from WW to Jr MW or whatever, can't be compared to moving to HW.

I wasn't trying to do anything.

Some boxers have better chances to KO certain boxers.

And I was 100% Correct. You watch the Fight? At no point beyond round 6 did Chris have any chance for a KO. His probability dropped to 1% in my estimation.

Chad Dawson on the other hand, could possibly KO someone like Adamek in round 10, 11, or 12. Not Chris.

And who scored it 114-114? What Nonsense. 117-111 was the only correct score. Chris was never in the fight. End of discussion.

I'll just stick with the fact that I was ridiculously right and everyone talking nonsense about Arreola knocking Adamek out was dreaming off somewhere in lala land. It was never going to happen.

I got 60k that says otherwise?????????

I guess there's a sucker born everyday! It's true!

chris by brutal ko chris is getting his weight down hes a funny guy i wanna see who he fights after this

Poor Adamek is going to receive a bad beating from the bigger, thicker, stronger Arreola.

This could be very tough for adamek, adameks good but i dont thinks he that good

Arreola has dealt with speed from whitherspoon etc.. He can handle ADAMEK'S POWER He should win this ebcause he is a proven decent HW cHAMP gOLATA AND THAT OTHER GUY WERE EASY TESTS

Don't judge a book by it's cover. Arreola is an extremely dangerous beast.

I'm rooting for Adamek, but I think he may have bitten off more than he can chew. My heart says Adamek by Decision, but my head says Arreola by TKO.

I just can't believe what little credit people were giving Adamek. Even the betting shifting to Arreola as the favorite.

Honestly, does anyone watch the fighters they comment on anymore?

[PittyPat]

I feel bad for Tomasz. He wanted to fight Cunningham II, Hopkins or Johnson on HBO, all winnable, but Ross Greenburg turned those fights down.

Now he's up against one of only three fighters that he has no chance of beating. The other two are named Klitschko.

Arreola will be very strong yet still fast enough at 250, it's actually not a bad weight for him.

I will quote this from YOU after Arreola wins!

Arreola is better than you believe, STEELHEAD. I'm telling you, you're underestimating him.

Quoted on Steelhead's behalf. :wnk1:
