Boxing isn't dead in Europe

[niteshift]

Boxing has in fact gained even more in popularity within the last 5 years, and is about to be put on the map in Poland especially. Boxing officials are saying the Vitali-Adamek fight will be one of, if not the biggest sporting event in Poland's history.

So, putting away your biases, which fighter winning would benefit boxing more as a whole in Europe - Vitali or Adamek?

I'm personally rooting for Adamek, although it's highly doubtful he wins.

Thoughts?

they're both old men, I'm waiting for another young star. Hasn't really been a good heavyweight since Tyson in my honest opinion

im just gonna pretend I didn't read that. Please tell me who exactly did Tyson beat again? Didn't he get turned into Buster Douglas's personal little beeotch? Then didn't Holyfield turn around and do the EXACT same thing, except in a much more cracking, devastating fashion?

Tyson is so overrated it's not even funny. Everytime, LITERALLY, EVERYTIME he stepped up in class on even terms he got EMBARRASSED. oh yeah, but wait, lemme guess? The "1986" Tyson would have beat them all! HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.

There are just as many world class boxers in Europe as there are in America right now, if not more. I think the boxing-scene in europe is better than america, if anything.

Two heavyweights ruling with iron fists. . . Eastern Europe is like Cuba - HOTBED of talent we haven't even seen the surface of.

No no, Cuba is like Eastern Europe rather.

It's because of Eastern Europe that Cuba is such a successful boxing country.
