Who will win?

Adamek is age 34 and Vitali will be 40 by the time of the fight, so Adamek has the advantage of relative youth.

But Vitali is 6' 7" with an 80" reach while Adamek is 6' 1.5" with a reach of 75" , so obviously this will give Vitali an advantage.

How much of a chance do you think Adamek has?

I wouldn't consider the advantage Adamek has in age, nor the 5" advantage Klitschko has in reach. Just consider that Klitschko adapts his ring action perfectly to his opponent's weakness and has an over 90% KO record. Although older, and a little slower, he punches rather fast, and in bunches. And is deadly accurate with either hand.

The guy, presently is virtually unbeatable.

unless he fights his little brother.. who would currently outbox VK

My own prediction is Vitali by decision.

But I think there's a 30-35% chance that Vitali stops Adamek and a 10-15% chance of Adamek pulling off a close decision win.

By any chance do you know something about Adamek's chin that I don't? Why only a 30-35% chance of a KO when he has an overall record of over 90% KO's.

[edgarg]

I think Vitali will get tired, and Adamek will get to him in the later rounds and KO him.

Adamek's corner has to make sure they tell the ref not to let Vitali do that stiff arm technique stuff he's use to doing.

I believe this is it for Vitali, can't wait for this fight.

You sound so confident, would you like to make a bet? If you do, please PM me. If you don't it's OK too. Thanks. What do you mean by "stiff-arm" stuff?

I'd give Adamek a better chance against Wladimir. Not that I'd pick him there either.

No I don't believe so. He's faster on his feet, although not by much, and a more concussive puncher, although with VK's chin, footwork and defense, I wouldn't think that would be an issue. VK's timing is too good, and WK is more than a bit tentative at first. However, I could not even visualise them boxing each other, so the thought doesn't come up.

I accidentally voted for Adamek KO, I meant to vote for Vitali by KO. Adamek exhibited very little power against Kevin Mcbride. Despite Vitali's age, I expect Vitali to keep Adamek at range and constantly tagging him with jabs and right hands.

Like Eddie Chambers, Adamek is really a cruiserweight.

I would but I don't have enough right now, but as soon as Im certain I have enough I'll bet you something.

The move that I'm referring to, is the one when he keeps fist in your face just like Darchynian and Wlad use to do, until the trainers started complaining.

The Nipple rocked Adamek several times in their fight. Vitali wins by KO in a fun-ish fight.
