Comments Thread For: Vitali Klitschko Beats Adamek Down For TKO Win

[Tiozzo]

I never understand why people say and do this. Don't you like boxing? Haven't you ever seen a fight turn on a dime?

I hope Vitali can stay around 242-245 pounds for the remainder of his fights. He outquicked Adamek with ease, and looked even more sensational than usual. I still really would like to know how that Solis fight would've played out though. But anyway, major props to Vitali, and special recognition to Adamek for giving it a go and not laying down.

My computer crashed for some reason, and since it was obvious the fight would play out just as most people thought it would - meaning Adamek was helpless and would get stopped - I didn't bother to restart my computer, restart my stream having lost a round or 2 in the process.

And lol at the thought this fight could have turned on a dime. Adamek didn't have anything in his arsenal to turn this fight around.

Props to Vitali. He half assed it and still brutalised Adamek with ease. That's a bad man right there. Adamek still has options in the HW division so long as he stays away from the big men. Povetkin, Haye, Boytsov, Chambers etc would all be winnable fights (though I'd pick Haye to KO him big). A move down to CW doesn't interest me that much.

GLad I wasnt only one who saw that Vitali was bored and looked like he didnt go over 30%, he toyed with Adamek, in 1st round he wobbled him then knocked him staggering into ropes, after that its like he wanted the fight to go to later rounds to give people a show, he was pissed the ref stopped it. Vitali was just opening up more and started putting some weight behind his punches, even half assing it Vitali busted up Adameks face.

He just punishes his opponents, Briggs, Adamek, Arreola, their faces were scary at the end. I guess it worked out for Adamek since Vitali wouldve just pressed the action in 11th or 12th to KO him and that mightve been some long lasting damage.

that's the best thing he could do IMAO

he was the king at 200 lbs, and would have stayed the king for a while

now, what is he gonna do ? fight the top contenders to get what, another beating at the hands of the Klitschkos ?

Everybody Has A Plan Until Vitali Drops A Bomb!

Have always felt Vitali was better than Wladimir, and it was Vitali giving Lennox Lewis a thorough beating until a horrible gash from heads and the fight was stopped. To this day Lewis won't get back in the ring with Vitali. This is what exactly happens to Evander Holyfield if he ever gets in the ring with Vitali.

From first few rounds it seemed the first right hands stumbled Adamek. Vitali looked confused and just stood there refusing to finish it. Maybe he wanted to take it to the 10th 11th and KO him then so fans have a show and he doesnt emberass Adamek in his own country.

After the first few rights he landed it seemed like he was going 30% of his maximum output, he looked bored and wasnt even trying, just standing in the middle while Adamek was running away all night.

Who the hell is Adamek?
It was a boring show, guy just wins because of his size, jab jab jab jab jab right hand, jab jab jab jab jab, jab,jab,jab,jab,jab,jab,jab, right hand, jab jab jab jab. lmao!, what a technical marvel this guy is, lol

wake me up when the heavyweight division is actually good. lol

[Tiozzo]

One round in his last fight and a round or two here? Really? That would do him what good?

What good is there to carry a former light-heavyweight champion for 10 rounds if you can impose your superiority and take him out quick ? Vitali didn't look rusty in that sole round I saw regardless of the fact he only had one pro round for a while

maybe, though it is somewhat of an embarrassment to be carried for 10 rounds while you're helpless (the torture goes on)

May be. It just wouldn't interest me that much. Adamek can still make decent money and put on good fights against the smaller men of the HW division. Polish fans seem like cool cats, and provided they weren't expecting miracles from Adamek tonight then I can't see how his popularity will massively plummet like Haye's did.

A move down to CW at this stage in his career seems unlikely, and I'm not sure if he'd be a better fighter anyway.

True. I felt bad for Adamek in there. He looked so small and helpless.

All things being equal Adamek is clearly the better boxer. The problem is in boxing and especially the heavyweight division all things are not always equal. Vitali had the height advantage, reach advantage, more power, more strength, better chin and arguably was just as fast. You can't be giving away that kind of weight against the Klits either. It really was like taking a knife to a gun fight.

I got mad respect for Adamek, he tried his best, stayed pretty busy and never gave up. He only really backed up when he was hurt (often admittedly) but still gave his all. To the few idiots saying that Haye did better you really don't know what you're talking about.
