Comments Thread For: Hearn Reacts To Critics: Miller vs. Adamek is NO Mismatch!

[Bronx2245]

When you have to make a statement that this is "No Mismatch," it's a mismatch! This fight is horrible! Anything less than a KO is totally unacceptable!

I understand why it's happening but I'm saying there are way more interesting and competitive fights than Adamek, who at this stage, is far past his best and even at his best is not a good heavyweight

I think this is a good move for Miller personally. He's still building his profile and is in position for a big fight. If he destroys Adamek and looks good doing it (which he should) it's only going to help him towards a big fight against some of the top guys in the division (possibly even a title fight).

Better that than take damage and not look great against someone who Joe Public wouldn't have heard of anyway.

Miller's had some good wins and can afford to keep his powder dry for now. The hardcore fans might complain, but Miller is a big personality and a big, impressive looking win against a known name (even if he is faded) will raise his stock.

Szpilka?

Szpilka is rater 30 on boxrec and is completely unknown apart from fighting Wilder. Adamek is rated 15 and actually is well known.

I'm not a Hearn fan, but people seem to be shitting on this fight because they hate Hearn imo. There have been much worse mismatches in recent years. MUCH worse

Szpilka beat Adamek.

Adamek hasn't beaten a good heavyweight. He beat Cunningham at cruiserweight and then again as a blown up heavyweight, but that's it.

7 v 15 in the rankings is a difference of 8. Beyonce has only fought Ortiz and Sterverne (the first time) with such close rankings. The other fights were mostly world ranking 100+ which is a joke.

The email signup on Dazn is embarassing. So far 754 U.S. signups. Eddie is under intense pressure.

No. Zero casuals will tune in. And real boxing fans are bashing this fight. It does zero for Miller.

Miller should feel insulted that Hearn doesn't think this is a mismatch.

Do it the Wilder way, fight 39 bums and 1 unproven self proclaimed 'Boogeyman' to take claim a place as an all time great. This seems to be the formula nowadays. Its a joke Wilder fans critizing this fight.

Miller's not a draw yet. Casuals wouldn't tune in for him against Kownacki, would they? And the hardcore fans will watch the fight if they stream the event - I know I will.

Frankly you're not in a position to say what it does or doesn't do for Miller. Look at Dillian Whyte. His career wasn't really going anywhere. He gets into a soft matchup with Browne and absolutely destroys him. Off the back of that he gets a fight with Joseph Parker and beats Parker - headlining his first card and selling out the O2 Arena. Whyte is now on a massive high and it all stems from a mismatch.

Miller v Adamek is a mismatch in the sense that we know who wins (albeit this is the HW division). But it's not worse than Garcia v Salka, Brook v JoJo Dan, Wilder v Harrison, Haye v Harrison, Anyone v Harrison. I'd say Fury v Pianeta is a worse mismatch, even accounting for it only being Fury's second fight back.

It’s a terrible fight put together by a terrible promoter
