how tall is adamek.unless hes standing on something he looks a good 6 ft 3...if so at that height i dont see a huge disadvantage with grant or the K brothers..i was thinking is it possible for a shakeup in the heavy division via upsets..peter wins by ko grant gets lucky and briggs comes out like bonecrusier smith did against weathersppon....it happened one time before when ingo koed machen.. pastrano who realy was a lt heavy and zora foley the top 3 heavys under patterson all got beat by europeans in a short span..
common sence says noo but a gut reaction says its a strong possiblity....would that be good for boxing..it would make things very interesting indeed...i would not mind seeing a upset or 2...

Adamek is a significant reach disadvantage against Grant or either Klit. He should beat Grant tonight.

I do not see him beating Wlad. I don't think he will ever get inside of Wlad's jab. His better shot is against the aging Vitali.

there are times when i feel and rightly soo that reach is a very overrated stat.a fighter with intelligence and talent can overcome that..the question is how talented is this adamek guy..can a haye overcome wlads jab..i think he has possibilties if he excecutes angles and counters well..can peter overcome it..yes if he comes to fight with agression..

Haye has better speed and can footwork to give Wlad angles. I don't think Adamek can do it sufficiently to win the fight. Adamek is one of my favorite fightdrs, but I think what I think.

i agree with you on adamek.

I'd rather see Adamek fight Haye.

Adamek must be wearing shoes, he's listed as 6'1. Isn't Grant suppose to be 6'6 or 6'7 ?

BTW nice to see an American heavyweight in good shape

Tomasz Adamek 6'1 and a half with a 75" reach

Michael Grant 6'7 with a 86" reach

I hope Grant pulls the upset but to be honest I give him less than a punchers chance.

You and Bird are strange how can you root against Highlander Chin ?

Adamek must be standing on a box.

Grant is a HUGE guy.

Dmar, I don't think reach is an overrated statistic. But it's also not determinative. The longer man has to have the jab and the feet to go with it. If he does he can be awfully hard to get to. If he doesn't, like say Paul Williams, it doesn't mean a heck of a lot.

Adamek borrowed a pair of Tom Cruise's cuban heels.

lol

How much are they charging for this fight?

But Adamek is the one shaking up the division, he's a crowd pleaser and willing to fight anyone.
