Tomasz Adamek

A reminder: The fight takes place on Thursday night. I'm so used to fights being on Saturday, this one took me by surprise.

It's really just a stay busy fight for Tomasz. I think we may see him against Wlad after this one.
 
Thanks for the stream. A white middleweight named Majewski is beating up a black fighter right now.

Good fight.

There also an English stream on the Sopcast Sportinwood channel.

I'm watching the Polish stream which is better quality but with the English audio from the Sopcast stream.

Great fight!

Patrick Majewski survives the adversity of a bad cut, makes the adjustment to his opponent's awkward style in the mid-rounds, and KOs his opponent in the last round.

Nice to see Main Events putting at least one Polish fighter on the card besides Adamek. When Adamek fought Grant they loaded the undercard with non-Whites.

Adamek stops Maddalone in the 5th. Vinny is very tough and gave it his best, but Adamek is a far superior fighter.

Adamek looked great. He'd make quick work of that phony "British" Gaye boy.  Also, it was good to see the gentlemanly sportsmanship of two white men.  
 
Adamek should be calling out David Gayweahter.

Westside, I respect your knowledge in boxing but your statement makes no sense. We know Haye will never fight Adamek, it's a high risk fight for him with nothing to gain. He wouldn't risk his title. Only thing we could ever hope for is that Adamek somehow became a mandatory for Haye but with Haye supposedly retiring soon it won't happen.
 
Adamek returns on April 16

Current top heavyweight contender and former light heavyweight and cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek (42-1, 28 KOs), decided that his next fight will be in his native Poland on April 16 in the "Spodek Arena"Â￾ in Katowice.

"I know it will be Poland on April 16, maybe two hour drive from my hometown Gilowice, so it will be like fighting at home,"Â￾ said Adamek. "I don't know who I will be fighting â€" this time it is up to International Boxing Federation, they will decide my next opponent. To be perfectly honest, I'm not losing any sleep thinking about possible candidates because I will be ready everybody who is on the IBF list. 2011 will be a very important year for me as a heavyweight and I would like to have best possible position in IBF rankings before challenging for a world title. This fight will be televised on Polsat TV, my Polish television partner bringing millions in front of their TVs. April 16 fight will also be available live for my US supporters through PPV."Â￾

Among all the names mentioned in connection with possible Adamek fight in Poland is former WBC titleholder "Nigerian Nightmare"Â￾ Sam Peter (34-4, 27 KO). "We would like to make this fight with Adamek and I hope that IBF will not hold against Sam his recently loss fight against Wladimir Klitschko,"Â￾ said Peter's manager Ivaylo Gotzev. "Styles make fights and this would be a great one. Sam is training with Jeff Mayweather in Las Vegas and he will be ready if needed."Â￾

"It is simply too early to speculate. We all plan to sit down together after the holidays and make a decision,"Â￾ commented Kathy Duva, Main Events CEO.

Tomasz will finish what the K Bros started. Putting Peter to sleep.
 
More on Adamek-Peter

from fightnews.com

On Monday, Lindsey E. Tucker, Jr., Championship Chairman of the IBF/USBA sent a letter to representatives of former WBC Heavyweight Champion Samuel Peter, as well as representatives of former cruiserweight/light heavyweight champion and current heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek inquiring if the two would be available to fight for the #2 spot in their rankings.

The winner of the proposed bout would then fight the winner of a box-off between "Fast"Â￾ Eddie Chambers and Derrick Rossy (who will battle for the #1 position) for the mandatory shot at IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko. "Samuel got an early Christmas present from the IBF in the form of this elimination fight and we've been going back and forth with Main Events about making it happen,"Â￾ said Peter's long-time manager Ivaylo Gotzev.
According to the IBF's letter, "On September 15, 2010 the IBF ordered a box off in the Heavyweight division between the 4 highest rated available boxers. At the time, the 4 highest rated available contenders were #4, Denis Boytsov, #8, Alexander Dimitrenko, #9, Jean Marc Mormeck and #10, Jonathon Banks. All four of the original challengers have pulled out of the IBF Heavyweight Box Off."Â￾

Thus, Team Peter was given three days to affirm the fighter's availability, but their response was immediate. "We are ready willing and able to fight Adamek,"Â￾ Gotzev continued. "Hopefully he's ready to do the same. We're looking forward to making this significant heavyweight matchup a reality. We're even willing to accommodate Adamek and fight him in his homeland of Poland. This box-off is a terrific idea that involves four top contenders, which will produce one man standing at the end and that will be the legitimate number one mandatory contender."Â￾

I'd prefer that Wlad just went ahead and fought Adamek in March or April.

Tomasz has already proven himself worthy of a title shot, no need for him to be in this eliminator.
 
I agree with you, Parody, that Tomasz has earned his title shot, and then some. But it's always more entertaining to watch our best beat up on the "supa affletes" to continue exposing the fraud known as "black athletic superiority".
 
It's not just Adamek, too many gifted Eastern Euros are being ignored for legitimate title shots. Boxing has gotten so "politicized" in the 20 years. Boxers from Africa, Cuba, and "black" Brits are getting all the title shots. A strange way to make-up for the demise of black Americans.
 
I'd like to see boxing in eastern and western continental Europe break
away from the thoroughly corrupt boxing scene in UK and especially USA.
Why should they have to put up with crap like Don King & Co.
engineering phony decisions like giving Gaye the decision over Valuev,
and black bums getting big money title shots over and over again, Jewish gangsters corrupting their fighters, like Povetkin, or even murdering
them, like Kobozev, etc. etc.?
 
I love that line you can have the Bulgarian television revenue...
smiley36.gif
The Peter camp is already negotiating in bad faith. Obviously they want this title eliminator badly...
smiley11.gif
This fight won't happen if the Peter camp starts asking for anything close to purse parity. Don't you have to be able to win fights against the Klitschko clan to ask for purse parity in an eliminator to fight one of them?

Edited by: white is right
 
Tomasz should tell Peter 'Look your getting 100 grand plus training expenses to lose to me. If you don't like, just get on the first banana boat back to the Ivory Coast...feeling me homie, Who Nexted!!!'
smiley36.gif
 
Who knows? Maybe Peter still thinks he's the, "Undisputed, undefeated champion of the world. Who Nex!!" I vote that speech by Peter as the best all time for a boxer, hands down.
 
Here is an article about Klitschko fighting Adamek late this year. The fight could be in Newark which is right by me. I'll certainly be at the fight if it happens at the Prudential Center or Madison Square Garden.



Wladimir Klitschko's New Year's resolution
is to fight three times in 2011. The first two bouts tentatively are set
with Klitschko defending his IBO, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles
against Britain's Derek Chisora on April 30 in Germany before a
potential unification bout with WBA champion David Haye somewhere in Europe on July 2.


If those two bouts go well, Klitschko told the Post he is open to
fighting Tomasz Adamek sometime in the fall at a site on the East Coast.
Adamek, a former light heavyweight and cruiserweight champion, has won
five fights as a heavyweight and is hoping for a title shot.

Klitschko said he is willing to give Adamek an opportunity and
won't object to the fight being at Madison Square Garden or Newark's
Prudential Center, where Adamek (43-1, 28 KOs) has established a home
base. The native of Poland trains out of Jersey City and has fought six
times at the Rock, drawing enthusiastic crowds in excess of 5,000. A
title bout with Klitschko, a Ukrainian, likely would sell out the
18,000-seat arena.

"I don't care where I fight [Adamek],"
Klitschko said. "What I care about is a full stadium. I know that he has
a good following there. So it possible this year after Haye, we'll take
Adamek."

Klitschko was in Manhattan this week to attend the
premier of "Lights Out," the new boxing-based television series on FX.
Despite conflicting reports, Klitschko said he has a deal in place to
fight Haye on July 2 but wanted to take an interim bout because he
hasn't fought since last September.

"We have agreed to fight on
July 2," Klitschko said of a bout with Haye. "We've got the date
confirmed from Sky for a pay-per-view fight. It's valid. But I don't
want to wait that long so I'm taking a fight in between. Then we'll roll
on to David Haye."

The 6-foot-6 Klitschko had been scheduled
to fight Chisora (14-0, 9 KOs) in December, but the bout was called off
when Klitschko (55-3, 49 KOs) suffered an abdominal injury four days
before the fight. He said he was hoping to fight Haye in April, but Sky
Box Office in England didn't have any available pay-per-view dates until
July 2.

"If I don't fight until July and then maybe Haye
doesn't show up and I will be off for one year," said Klitschko, whose
last fight was a 10-round TKO over Samuel Peter in September. "I want to stay active."


Klitschko hasn't fought in the United States since February 2008, when
he defeated Sultan Ibragimov in a lackluster 12-round bout at the
Garden. His last five bouts have been in Germany, where he has drawn
crowds up to 60,000. Along with his brother Vitali, who is the WBC
champion, the Klitschkos have ruled the heavyweight division for the
last five years. Some might argue their dominance isn't good for the
sport, but Wladimir disagrees.

"For us it's such an enjoyable
thing because never in the history of the heavyweight division have two
brothers been champion," he said. "We support each other. We're a team,
and I don't need to fight him. We're looking to get the WBA belt that
David Haye holds, so I'm hoping we'll make that fight this year to get
all the titles under one name: Klitschko."

****

Micky Ward said he's enjoying touring the country promoting "The Fighter," a movie based on his life.

"It's been really good. I'm enjoying it and it's exciting," he said. "I'm just trying to take it in stride."


Asked how the recent cinematic interest in boxing can translate to
larger crowds at live events, Ward said: "It's about putting the two
best in there. People don't want to see blowouts. Just get competitive
fights and good fights. And let's just have one champion per division."

Amen.

Here's Adamek's latest blog entry. He writes about
his upcoming fight in April and the the fight with Klitschko later this
year, which is agreed to.

</font>2011-01-07 </span>
<h3>
Dreams are worth having </h3>A week ago in my New Year blog I said
that I hope to win the world title until the end of 2011. Today
everything points to an agreement being signed for a fight with WÅ‚adimir
Kliczko. The ring will be at the new Stadium in Wrocław. Our location
has many practical aspects. Our fight will promote the new stadium and
the city before the planned soccer EURO 2012 matches. On October 2nd
1998 Andrew Gołota faught Tim Witherspoonem, and there hasn't been an
event like that there since. My opponent, WÅ‚adimir Kliczko has
thousands of fans in Germany. He is counting on many fans coming from
Germany and Ukraine. I on the other hand hope that 40 thousand people
will cheer me on through my fight for the world title in the third
weight category. Getting this title is my next goal in my boxing career,
a goal which according to some is very difficult to accomplish. Dreams
are good to have and it is also good to know that you can make them come
true. To this day I have accomplished my goals and have shown that I
accomplish what I set out to do. Dreams are not enough for WÅ‚adimir
Kliczko, I have to bring the highest level of boxing to the ring. I know
that I have to be in great condition, I have to be agile and give hits
of different caliber. I have to have the right mind set. A lot always
depends on physical preparation but also well prepared tactic. What we
prepare with the trainers must translate into the ring. This will show
on the boxing day. I carry winning in my heart for months now.
Believeing that I will do what other boxers have not done yet is not
enough, my physical fitness is a guarantee. To be the best in three
weight categories after beating Kliczko is not an easy task. I cannot
procrastinate any longer but things have been said that I am fighting
with old and weak boxers. Today boxing fans may ask about Kliczko.
Despite this I must go out and take my chances. They said the same
things when I was going against Arreola and Grant and yet I won. It
doesn't bother me that the fighters that fought Kliczko before me
finished poorly. In my opinion they lost the fight in the locker room,
before the fight. Kliczko's blows are very powerful but is there no
remedy for them ? How to avoid many of them? How to not let yourself be
hit by the iron fists ? What can be my defense against his left straight
and his strong right hit? These are never ending questions for which I
must create answers for in the ring. Andrzej Kostyra, said this is a
fight of the century. I will give everything from myself in the ring and
in practices because I am ready for the fight of my life. Because if
not Adamek then who will take Kliczko's belts?






Before the big fight with Kliczko a
fight is waiting for me in Katowice April 16th. From the beginning
negotiations with Team K2 with Peter have given difficulties. Peter's
manager was not agreeing to our propositions and clearly was not
interested to bring the negotiations to a happy ending. With the week
ending comes the ending of negotiations and its time for another IBF
action in this case. Who i will fight in Katowice, no one knows. I hope
that this week new names will come up. My opponent shouldn't be much
stronger, since I cannot compromise myself because I have the fight of
my life with Kliczko coming up. From another side the fight must be
exciting for fans who will come for our and other fight to Katowice. All
in all 2011 began pretty well for me. THE RING gave two rankings in
which I was placed high. This makes me happy because it is another
reassurance of my position in the heavyweight division. Unfortunatley I
will not be able to attend the PrzeglÄ...d Sportowy event in Warsaw. That
week I have to be in the US because of IBS lawyers and promoters for the
ending negotiations about an opponent in Katowice. This makes me so sad
but at the end of the negotiations my promoter and I will fly to Poland
and organize a special press conference. I want to thank everyone for
supporting me. I will see everyone soon in Poland.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here's a piece from Dan Rafael's chat the other day about the Klitschko-Adamek deal:
<h6 style="">Dan Rafael </font>(12:29 PM)</font>

</h6>
</font>Here's the deal. There is a new stadium opening in Poland near the
German border in September. The Klitschko and Adamek people have a deal
in principle (not signed) for Adamek to fight either Wlad or Vitali in
the fall. But it's a long way from being reality given that all three
will have least one interim fight -- Wlad fights Chisora, Vitali fights
Solis and Adamek will fight in April."
 
Adamek-McBride Contracts Signed

"On January 30, we received signed contract from Kevin McBride (35-8, 29 KOs) and I can officially say, that he will fight Tomasz Adamek (43-1, 28 KOs). Not later than February 2, after finishing our negotiations with our partners in Poland and United States, we will decide the venue and the exact date of the fight, expected to happen in April"Â￾ â€" said Zyggi Rozalski, manager and advisor of former Polish light heavyweight and cruiserweight champion of the world, who already signed contract to fight in September one of the Klitschko brothers in his native Poland.
