      Yeah, but it's a business for them. So many people (yourself included) forget that staredowns at these types of events are purely for the media. Neither guy here gives a toss about the staredown. They do it to make it look like they are tougher for the media.

      I can just about assure you that Adamek was probably thinking something along the lines of "Ohhh God, do I have to keep up with this facade when I'm going to punching the guy in the head tomorrow?"

      I remember a very famous boxer (can't think of which one right now) who said he has to concentrate on not laughing at the staredowns because they are so absurd. Some guys will get into them, but usually for two veteran pros it's just 'meh'... let's get it on.

        Would that be Carmen Basilio?

          I'm actually excited about this fight. I truly think Adamak has the tools to pull off an upset. Either way it will be great!

          Go Adamak!

            The fact that it's in Poland does give me hope for Adamek (of scraping a decision). I honestly believe Vitali is there for the taking but it has to be someone with legs. Adamek's movement is decent but I don't know if he can keep it up for 12 rounds. And if Grant and Arreola had him hurt, then it's hard not to see a Vitali 1-2 doing damage.

            Still, I do give Tomasz a better chance than most people. Willing to take bets with anyone who'll give me decent-ish odds

                That's what they said about Ali before he fought Holmes. Haha jp.

                I see Vitali winning, but would love Adamek to win.

                  Vitali is very fuckable, but I hope Adamek takes this.

                    Adamek comes out of this rich no matter what happens, just like Haye did.
