Comments Thread For: Chris Arreola-Tomasz Adamek: The Pre-Fight Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - The move from Light Heavyweight to Heavyweight used to be arduous. At a limit of 175 lbs., a championship fighter could be moving up anywhere between 20 and 40 pounds to face the Heavyweight champion into the 1980s. Then things got bigger.

Bigger isn’t necessarily better, but from 175 to men like Lennox Lewis and the Klitschko, men who walk around between 240-260 lbs., is a tough task. Into the 1980s, Light Heavyweights moving up to try the upper echelon at Heavyweight was common. Success was mixed, but effort was easy to find. [Click Here To Read More]

Hope Arreola isnt taking Adamek lightly cause he shouldnt.

B in speed for arreola??? Cliff must have been smoking sumthing on that grade when he was typing that report card up..

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Ill go with Adamek by UD and wide

Im rooting against the nipple because he wont get his fat ass into shape, but I think he probably wins this one by late ko. He's just too big for Adamek. But like I said, hope Im wrong and he takes the nipple down.

Well, arreola makes valuev look like Roy jones jr in the speed dept..LOL, I say at the least a c-, when arreola throws his shots they are telegraphed so easily and wide ,adamek should dodge them , the only thing that he will have trouble dodging is the tire around his stomach if adamek don't move around.

Adamek can hand Arreola a bloody loss if Arreola doesnt try and knock Adameks head off early. he'll get tired and Adamek will land at will and turn him. Arreola's power can save him late, but it will be hard earned, for sure.

If it becomes a slugfest I can't see Adamek winning. K hit Arreola with some good shots and he kept on coming. Adamek can easily out point Arreola though if he concentrates on winning rounds versus trying for the KO.

It's a tough prediction. I see Adamek doing a Billy Conn on Arreola, get over-confident, get into a slugfest and gets KTFO.

On the other hand, he might box the entire night and win 10-2 (with Arreola winning 2 of the first 5 rounds and gassing after that)

Truly, I'm up in the air on this fight. Adamek was a quality light heavy but not a Roy Jones. I'm not so sure he can keep Arrela off of him, or stay away from him, for 12 rounds. That's not his style, he like to mix it up.

Here's the prediction. A victory of Arreola. He showed good stamina and determination with Klitshcko. IF he brings in the same determination today he should win.
