It’s late. I am tired. Blame Hurricane Irene. Blame fantasy football mania. 
For all of the reasons stated above, I’ll let the simple breakdown indicate who I am favoring in the upcoming heavyweight title fight between Vitali Klitschko (42-2, 39 KO’s) and Tomasz Adamek (44-1, 28 KO’s).
- With the fight taking place in Wroclaw, Poland, it’s safe to say that Adamek will have the crowd on his side. Advantage Adamek.
- The plodding Adamek has faster hands than the seemingly more plodding Klitschko. Slight advantage Adamek.
- Klitschko has shown himself to control the ring behind his lengthy jab and straight right hand, no matter whom he’s fought. Advantage Klitschko.
- Both fighters have fought top-notch competition-Adamek at light heavyweight and cruiserweight, and Klitschko at heavyweight. Even.
- Adamek is a boxer-puncher while Klitschko is a puncher who knows how to box. Advantage Klitschko.
- Both fighters are very well-conditioned but Adamek tends to be more active and busy in his fights. Slight advantage Adamek.
- Klitschko has never been dropped in his long career. Adamek has. Advantage Klitschko.
- Neither man has happy feet, so I call this category a "push." Even.
- Klitschko is bigger, stronger and taller than most men he fights. Add Adamek to that list. Advantage Klitschko.
- Klitschko uses his height and reach to stymie an opponent’s offense better than most fighters today. Adamek will see that in a couple of weeks. Advantage Klitschko.
Look for Vitali to continue the reign of the "Brothers Klitschko," for better (for his legacy) and for worse (for fans seeking heavyweight excitement) via a late TKO.
good article about dr k. wish i could have bet on him at a cheaper price.
tx tom. i’ve been outta pocket for awhile. how do you see mayweather-ortiz playing out?
Quite sure we’ll get a better fight than David Haye provided.
Adamek will need to get in and out with out picking up damage,and over the 12rds it will be a hard task, solis managed to land a few right hands for the short time he was around and i expect Adamek to do the same.
In the end Klitschko will prove to much, but may not be able to put him away.
Klitschko on points.
Solid analysis but I expect a Klitschko TKO victory.
@Ja Dawson: I expect your right J. D….. but you never know !
i live in las vegas. i dont know 3 mexicans in all of lv that can afford a 1000$ ticket to see the fight. what are u talking about!? this is moneys, he lives here. 365 days of the year, this is his turf, filled with las vegas gamblers.
@jb Interesting perspective jb but I respectfully disagree based on the partisanship that I have seen displayed for many of Mayweather’s opponents (i.e. Mexican ones) when fighting in Vegas. His fights with Castillo come to mind in particular.
