The good:
1. He has GREAT upperbody movement. The way he was avoiding Grant in round 12 was amazing. No matter how much he tried to cut off the ring and try to bully Adamek on the ropes, he couldn't land anything at all.
2. Like Chad Dawson, he's great at holding on when he's hurt. Most fighters would have hit the canvas shortly after taking the shots he took.
3. When he moves a lot, he's very effective.
The bad:
1. He has decent footwork, but its clumsy at times. He gets caught off balance a lot, and sometimes jumps and lands in bad positions, which causes him to get caught with a big counter. For some odd reason Jason Estrada didn't take advantage of that...
2. He has little power at HW. His punches didn't have much of an effect on Grant, or any HW aside from Fatiola for that matter.
3. Occasionally he throws wild punches and tends to switch back to his old LHW style when he gets hit, in other words punching when he should be moving. When he was boxing like in round 7, Grant had no clue what to do.
4. His handspeed is really not that good for someone with his style. Haye and Chambers are both much faster than he is.
What do you guys think? Do you agree with my observations? If explain why/why not and post your observations too. I think he really needs to work on these things. Right now he'd get ****d by either Klitschko, and Haye too.
