Adamek says being shorter than Klitschkos can be advantage

**GrantZilla** Fri Mar 25, 2011 4:40 am

The prevailing thought is that Tomasz Adamek will be at a stark disadvantage because of his relatively short stature (6-foot-1 1/2) when he fights one of the giant Klitschko brothers.

Adamek suggested it’s the other way around. And he used Vitali Klitschko’s three-minute fight against Odlanier Solis last Saturday as an illustration.

"The Solis fight was only three minutes, but two times he hit (Klitschko) very easy,” said Adamek, who fights Kevin McBride on April 9 in Newark, N.J. “I think, and (trainer) Roger (Bloodworth) said too: A short guy with a tall guy is never a good opponent because they are difficult. It is difficult to hit (the short guy) because he is down.

“(Nikolai) Valuev said the same thing after fighting (David) Haye. He said he never fought a guy like David. David was like me, we are quick and uncomfortable to fight."

He went on: "People say I cannot beat the Klitschkos because I am too short, that I can't fight heavyweight. But when I started fighting heavyweight I beat (Chris) Arreola, and next (Michael) Grant, and every fight is better. I love <i>not</i> being the favorite because I want to make it a surprise and become the heavyweight champion.

"I think the worst opponent is a quick opponent because they can do anything. I am faster than a big heavyweight. My legs are very good. This is not the street, it is the ring. Whoever is the smartest will win. I will show my class on April 9th and win."

Adamek is tentatively scheduled to fight Vitali Klitschko later this year. However, if Wladimir Klitschko is unable to fight Haye this summer, Vitali will take his place. Wladimir would then fight Adamek.

I am a big fan of Adamek. Only thing I keep seeing in my mind is him reeling late against Grant. If he can't seriously hurt Vitali, which I do doubt, Vitali will get to the chin enough to end it.

Vitali is so fucking slow, and getting slower each fight. If Solis wasn't such a lard ass, who knows. He might been able to out box Vitali.

I think Adamek has a chance against Vitali, but no chance against Wlad.

Adamek is using "polish" reasoning, there ain't no advantage in being 6" shorter than your opponent. Suspect

Yup, it's going to take someone really fast and explosive to defeat The Brothers Gloom.

Haye's our best shot, after that we'll just have to wait for them to retire.

**gomez1012** Fri Mar 25, 2011 12:24 pm

I gave Chisora a decent shot vs Wlad

Big guy, quick, and good power

Would of done a whole lot better than Solis. Maybe a few more fights then go after one of the K Bros

Guest Fri Mar 25, 2011 12:25 pm

Chisora has potential, needs some more experience under his belt first.

But those guys were fat and slow. Or not very skilled. None of those guys had very good foodwork.

Please Ali, don't say 'our' best shot when refering to Haye, I hope Wlad demolishes this jack-off.

I honestly hope he beats Haye up but carries him for 11.5 rounds then knocks that cocky bitch into the middle of retirement.

Anyone who supports Wladimir to knockout Haye obviously wants the HW division to die.

Isnt Haye retiring at the end of the year? So what does a Haye win do for the division?

Once Haye starts getting all the American attention IF he stops Wladimir that deadline will get pushed way back.

Why? Haye is not exciting he never throws punches.

**GrantZilla** Fri Mar 25, 2011 7:23 pm

I'd prefer Adamek beat the Klits then Haye. Because Adamek is a real fighter that actualy likes to fight. The Gay if he did beat the Klits, would be in-active for a year in a gloat fest. That's what he loves, not the actual fighting.

I'm not as dissatisfied with the HW division as many of the rest of you are, and the brainfart that Haye would somehow make it better if he defeated Wlad is laughable to me.

Get back to me once you actually research Haye's career and watch the MAJORITY of his fights.

I've seen him fight a ton. He still is a bitch.

Rich countries are having bidding wars to stage the fight, if you really can't see the attention Haye brings to the division you're blinded by hatred.

Haye's the only person keeping this division alive, without him nobody outside Germany and Ukraine would give a flying Froch.

you mean Brits? Fans in the US don't really care for Haye!!!!

**GrantZilla** Fri Mar 25, 2011 7:27 pm

Ali, how can you say Haye beating the Klits would be good for the division. I'm not a fan of the Klits, but atleast they try to stay active. The Gay fights like what, once a year and then wants a long vacation.
