Tomasz Adamek vs. Vitali Klitschko: Official Poll

[Grinderman]

Vitali will stop Adamek, but it will be a great fight while it lasts, more like what people were expecting from Wlad and Haye. Tomasz will go out on his shield like the warrior he is.

I'll say it again.. because of Tomasz Adamek's warrior mentality.. he will be brutally ktfo in the mid rds. He's going to be too brave for his own good & will look to exchange. This will make it an easy night for Vitali as he's got all the advantages here & ALWAYS beats everyone he faces to the punch. The fact that Adamek is NOT a great defensive fighter & can be hit while having a light'heavyweight punch will mean ONE thing only & that is lights out for him as Vitali will have a field day.

Think about it... you have no punch to worry Vitali & you have no defense... Vitali will be a kid in a candy store... the other two featherfisters (Byrd & Johnson) he faced gave him trouble because they were EXCEPTIONAL on D with the shoulder rolls & feints... Adamek has none of that plus has a warrior's mentality but will notice right away his artillery will be no match for the much stronger Klitschko who wins by KO... rds 6-8.

Adamek will employee his guerilla style hit @ run tactics keeping Vit always turning and unable to set down and land consistantly will touching and moving there will be some dicey moments but Adamek will eek out a close SD and the legions of Polish fans will storm the stadium and there will be mass riots,fires and overall destruction throughout the lands as they celebrate there revered Champion.

There would be a HUGE celebration in Poland.

If Adamek wins a close decision, which is not impossible, then it will set up a fight between Adamek and Wladimir for all the belts.

A fight for all the belts would be Huge.

Win or lose just like to see Adamek make it through without taking to much damage that might affect him later on there are alot of good matches that can be made involving him as long as he's still close to prime

Its hard to imagine him beating Vitali and even harder to imagine him beating Wvladimir.His only hop eis that Vitali has grown old and immobile so he is able to run rings round him and sneak a decision. He cant outbox or KO Wvlad.

Im looking forward to the fight even though I fully expect it to be one sided in Vitalis favour. For teh first few rounds Adamek will look lively and able to move well but once teh pace settles and the battle lines are drawn Vitali dominates and puts on another class performance. Late stoppage or points depends on how many shots Adamek can avoid. As soon as he becomes stationary its over but if he has the energy to keep going, the best I can see is him surviving to a lopsided 12 round loss.

I can't see how Adamek beats Vitali.

He's not a hard puncher at heavyweight, he isn't faster than Vitali and his boxing ability overall simply isn't enough to overcome what size, power (faded but still good), workrate and overall skills that Vitali brings to the ring.

Adamek is also undersized and as someone mentioned earlier, is really a cruiserweight.

Adamek is tough and will make it to the late rounds but i see Vitali beating him up from the opening bell.

Vitali by late TKO.

Corect, Adamek is a natural cruiserweight.

Difference between Haye and Adamek:

Adamek had no problem making 200, although he was weight-drained for his last fight at 175 with Dawson. He moved to HW because he wasn't making much money at CW.

Haye said he was "killing himself" to make 200 - he's a natural HW about the same size as Muhammed Ali, bigger than Adamek.

Totally agree.

Haye is a small but natural heavyweight.

Adamek is a good sized cruiserweight, undersized at heavyweight.

I'll be bumping this thread from time to time up until the fight, so everybody can make their predictions.
