Adamek will win a decision over Vitali

[ChopperRead]

By how, running? He's not the better boxer and he isn't stronger than Vitali. Adamek went life and death against Arreola and won a close one in that one. The best Adamek can hope for is if he is able to some how give Vitali a nasty cut so it can be stopped.

Adamek was a bloody mess at the end of the Grant fight. I have a feeling he may be the one getting cut up in this one. He's going to try to stick and move, but sooner or later Vitali is going to cut off the ring, and then it's big trouble for Adamek.

Adamek is not a granite chin fighter. The unique thing about him is his ability to recover exremely fast once stunned.

He was genuinely hurt at Cruiser by both Johnathon Banks and Steve Cunningham, I am relatively certain Vitali hits harder than either of those men, even is he is not a devastating puncher.

Difference between Vitali and those guys is Vitali has the killer finishing instinct, once he hurts Adamek he will put him away.

I expect a great fight and Adamek will make himself look good in defeat. He certainly will not go out with a whimper the way Haye did.

Adamek is the man and has the heart of a lion, there is no quit in him. Vitali won't be fighting a guy that is going to jump down onto the canvas once the first punch is thrown.

WAR ADAMEK!!!!!!!!!!

No way he goes out with a whimper, especially in front of his Polish brethren.

They said most of the 30,000 tickets sold so far have been sold in Poland, so it is going to be almost totally Pro-Adamek there.

This fight should have the drama and action people thought Haye vs Wlad was going to provide. I hope people who were turned off by that fight don't take a miss on this one because of it.

I really can't see any way that this one is anything but exciting.

I like Goral but i dont reckon he survives 12 rounds with Vitali.

While the polish crowd will be there to root for Adamek I think the polish crowd are the same type of boxing fans who will be happy even if Adamek loses because I think they know and respect Vitali Klitschko. I think its a win/win for everyone honestly. And Adamek won't fall to the ground like Haye.

Adamek is going to get beat up until he is knocked out, quits or the ref stops it. Vitali is a step too far for Adamek who i admire but i can't see him winning.

im thinking of laying some cash on this fight

vitali does not and has never had the type of 1 punch brutal KO power that his brother has, despite having a higher KO% than he does. Vitali's KOs mostly come from an accumulation of blows throughout the duration of the fight

i believe that adamek has a good enough chin and is a good enough mover to avoid an accumulation stoppage. i dont see him getting tagged clean frequently in this fight. he will constantly be moving in and out and turning vitali in this fight. if (and when) he does get hit, he will be able to handle it. im not saying vitali is a soft puncher, but he is 40 now and will likely throw less/have slower reflexes and i believe adameks chin is good enough to handle the power when it lands. vitalis jab is not like his brothers so its not out of the realm of possibility for adamek to close the distance.

now being that this fight in all likelihood will go to a decision, i think adamek takes a split D. adamek throws nice combos to the body and head and he WILL land on vitali. something that alot of people are overlooking is that this fight is in poland and if its very close, the judges will probably favor adamek slightly. im not saying they will rob vit, but i see this as being a VERY close fight and i it comes down to a 1 or 2 round difference, i think they will probably hand those rounds to tomazs

i think there is some serious cash to be made on this fight.

adamek can beat vitali on the scorecards if he fights a near perfect fight...unfortunately if he does, he will get brutally knocked out by wlad who is a much more powerful and explosive puncher than vitali at this stage and even a better technical boxer

adamek new HW champ!

I hope you are an alt having fun. Otherise, you dont know **** about boxing. Adamek gets slaughtered.

If you want to bet on an upset, try betting on Ruslan Chagaev to beat Povetkin.

Povetkin has been in a tailspin under Teddy Atlas's tutelege, losing confidence steadily to the point where he has been musing about going back to the amateur level. Povetkin was taken the distance by a complete bum last time out, with Teddy smacking him in the face between rounds and cursing him.

Chagaev hasn't looked great either, but his competition has been tougher than Povetkin's lately and he is likely to rise to the occasion, like he did when he handed Valuev his first ever loss. As for his loss to Wlad, that's no great shame, is it?

Unless Vitali suddenly gets shot overnight or has a freak injury, he's going to brutalize Adamek.
