Apparently, Thomas Adamek is some sort of national hero in Poland. In a recent fight in Poland, Krzysztof Włodarczyk was apparently given a gift decision win over visiting Puerto Rican Francisco Palacios.
(Has anyone ever gone in to Poland and won a fight? Can't say a lot of big fights go down in Poland, but seriously, has it ever happened? Nothing against Poland, I'm just asking.)
Suppose Adamek runs around the ring and survives, Haye-like but without the flops, against Vitali. Its a lacklustre fight, but it's clear to most everybody that Vitali is the one landing the punches. Nothing really clean, but he's throwing and occasionally landing arm punches. Adamek is moving and mainly surviving but somehow managing to look busy. The crowd is going wild any time Adamek hits air as Vitali backs away. Wild applause of 50,000 proud poles!
Is Vitali in danger of losing a close decision here? Or am I missing some sort of Ukranian-Polish dynamic that makes this unlikely? Why did Vitali agree to the venue? What does he know?
(Why do I care? Because I put VK in several parlays months ago assuming this was a sure thing only for it to then dawn on me that this thing is in Poland)

what if vitali gets robbed?
