Boxing – Toward the Fight Vitaly Klitschko vs. Thomas Adamek

BoxingIn recent years, the competitive landscape in the heavyweight feel less attractive, because there are no new stars are able to become world boxing public appeal. The dominance of Klitschko brothers Wladimir and Vitaly feels so strong, it is attested by holding all the titles in the heavyweight world boxing organizations.
Public boxing world has been longing for the emergence of new stars are capable of providing an exciting spectacle and sensation in every pertandingann yes. The public will miss the re-emergence of competition in the era of interest such as Mike Tyson, Evander Holifyeld, Lennox Lewis, James Douglas, and others.
On 10 September 2011, boxer Thomas Adamek Poland will try to win the heavyweight championship belt in boxing world body from the hands of Vitaly Klitschko WBC. The match will be held at the stadium Miejski, Wroclaw, Poland. For Vitaly, this is a match to a 9 in defending his WBC heavyweight title.
See a map of the strength of both, it was still too strong for Vitaly Adamek. Although it has been 40 years old, Vitaly very experienced, has good boxing technique, and supported by the physical above the average world heavyweight boxer. With a height of 202 cm, 15 cm higher Vitaly on appeal Adamek.
Rely on speed
While Adamek is currently 34 years old, is a boxer who agile and quick, he only lost the physical appeal Klitschko. Adamek is a former WBC light heavyweight champion and IBF cruiserweight. Adamek optimistic enough to be able to beat Klitschko, “I think Klitshko not be fit enough to fight me”, surely I will rely on speed dan agile to beat Klitschko, so I have been the main capital “said the owner of record of 44-1-0 (28 KO) is.
Adamek was never beaten a boxer-fighter bigger than him, but none are as special as Klitschko. If adamek win, it was something extraordinary for him. It was spared from a knockout defeat alone is good for Adamek.
Seeing the competition in the heavyweight today, I think we will not see a new fighter that is able to beat Klitschko brothers, Wladimir and Vitaly. David Haye who championed able to provide resistance, was also helpless in the hands of Wladimir.
