    Sky Sports One are showing it. It's on after the McCloskey fight.


    I'm sure Adamek will give it more of a go than David Haye, but I don't see him having much of a chance against Vitali. I think he'll try to engage sporadically until about round five or six, when he'll stop engaging altogether and enter survival mode. Then Vitali will finish him in the championship rounds.

      This guy is no Chris Byrd wth lightning defensive reflexes.. he's there to be hit & let's cut the bs.. because he's a warrior.. makes it twice as easy for Vitali to get him out of there. He's going to be looking to keep Vitali off balance with a mixture of running & toe to toe action... in & out darts. What he doesn't realize is that Vitali will catch him right in between.. he won't be able to potshot & not get hit in return.. war my a$ss AS soon as he tastesVK leather he will put on his trACK SHOES for the whole night & eventually get beat down in a typical Vk TKO in the later rds... if he decides he's brave & he thinks he's too fast for Vitali... he will be taken out on a stretcher... stick to potshotting... lateral movement & survival mode... anything else & he';s getting KTFO in front of his hometown.

        You got jokes.. son? anyone can get momentarily stunned when they don't see a punch coming. Sanders caught him with a perfectly timed counter as Vitali was commiting & throwing his own with about 10 seconds to go in the first rd... up until that point he was owning him & Vitali got careless with a sniper like him.

        He was moving back to escape from danger & gather himself & keep Corrie from landing a followup shot.. Most everyone else gets KNOCKED down in that instance & please don't call that push by Sanders a knockdown... it was Corrie being frustrated that he didn't have the little brother in there & therefore couldn't put him down legitimately.

        Vitali in the end made him pay bigtime for that little ambush foray... he even let Corrie swing at him with his hands completely at his waist in the 2nd rd just to get used to the power.. what followed shortly after was the most hellascious beatdowns in Vitali's boxing career & trust me Vitali carried him for a few extra rds.. he had him ready to go in the 5th before the bell saved him & was pitterpattering him with hard shots.. using his head for a pingpong ball.. softening his punches just enough so Corrie would still be on his feet & keep receiving endless punches....

            Adamek fought Kevin McBride. I can't wait for Vitali to expose him as the utter fraud that he is.

              Put some e-points on Tomasz.

              He could pull it off

              I am a big Vitali fan so just let the best man win.

                  Too soon to speak what Adamek will and won't do in the ring. I could very well see him looking to counter punch on the back-foot all night long like Haye. It's one thing for Adamek to say that he'll fight to win, but its another to do it. Vitali is the scarier brother of the two.

                    Wlad was pressing forward with a defense, how is it not engaging if Wlad is trying to make the fight? Are you saying Wlad should have pressed forward with a ****ty defense and let Haye pull off an upset with his back-footing flopping ass?

                    Hi hater.

                    How is Wlad suppose to look great against a fighter who is on the back-foot all night long looking for counters?

                      Excellent post! Vitali delivered a hellacious beatdown on Sanders -- one of Corrie's ears looked like a shrivelled piece of meat after the fight. And he prolonged it because he loves dealing out pain.
