Grant thinks Adamek can knockout the Klitschko brothers
August 23rd, 2010
By Sean McDaniel: You have to wonder whether Michael Grant may have been hit a little too hard last Saturday night in his 12 round decision loss to up and coming 33-year-old heavyweight Tomas Adamek at the prudential Center, in Newark, New Jersey. Grant was able to hurt Adamek with hard shots on at least three occasions and had him hurt and scrambling around in the 12th to save himself from getting knocked out by Grant. In an article at Nothjersey.com, Grant seems to like Adamek’s chances in beating the Klitschko brothers, saying “Can he [Adamek] beat them? He can make it difficult. he won’t be able to knock them out. But I don’t know, he probably can. Those guys, their chins are suspect.”
It would be hard to see Adamek being able to land as many shots as he did against Grant, because Wladimir has a much better jab, and his powerful right hand and left hook would be a constant danger for Adamek. I can see Adamek changing his mind about wanting to win the fight very early on ad just being content with losing a decision.

In the later rounds Adameks conditioning would benefit him if he makes it that far. I know those guys have huge punches but its amazing that Adamek is able to take them straight and keep fighting. I want to see the fight. Adamek would beat Haye. Haye is very athletic but adamek is athletic enough and stronger. I think Adamek would knock out Haye and bust the Klitsckos face so hard that Klitscko would cancel the fight and the whole world would be in shock. Anyways I wanna see adamek vs Haye and then the final adamek vs K.
It´s ironic that Adamek couldn´t knock out Grant yet Grant believes Adamek would knock out the K brothers. Grant is nowhere near the talent level of the K brothers and I highly doubt if Adamek couldn´t KO him he probably will not be able to KO Wlad or Vitali. The logic doesn´t seem to make much sense. Anythings possible in the Heavyweight division but with the amount of punches they throw and their very effective jab I don´t see Adamek getting anywhere near them to be able to knock them out.
The reason Grant said adamek may be able to knock out a KLITCHKO is because when I watched teh adamek Grant fight adamek broke Grants jaw in one of the rounds and he felt huge pain. The heavyweights are just heavy but that doesnt mean adamek has no power. Adamek is a very strong man. Look at how Arreola crashed right after the adamek fight his face was busted completely . If arreola posted his face 5 days after the fight I am certain we would be looking at a swollen fish. Polish men have huge power even if the other guy is bigger it doesnt tell the whole story. Never underestimate the polish guys. I think teh fight should be earlier than what vitali wants. Should be a great fight chances are 50/50. Vitali is huge in size and power and adamek in speed , boxing , power , stamina and desire. This is the truth to anyone who has a brain capable of thinking.
Wes,Boxing fan
both made a good points.
Pudzianowski ( 3 time worlds strongest man) struggled and lost to Tim Silva.I was stunned.
Now Adamek, efortlessly KO Golota in 5th round.I was impressed.
Yeasterday i Watched Klitchko fight with Lewis.I must say Klitchko is a great warrior. Both brothers are perhaps the best ever.Quite honestly I would rather see them retire than getting beat by Adamek.Although I dont believe it can be done.
If Adamek can pull it off, that would tell us something..
It will be an epic win, which everyone will want.
Everybody seems to forget that Adamek is so new to the heavyweight division. Notwithstanding his considerable boxing skills, his warrior’s heart and granite chin, he needs to adjust himself to the size and weight of his opponents. By the way, there is no granite chin in boxing, if you are well hit, you’re going down no matter what. The test is whether you are a man enough to get up for more pain or not.
My God, not so long ago Adamek was under 175 lbs world champion. He switched to cruiserweight, and it didn’t take him long to adjust, become a cruiserweight world champ, and to become recognized as Ring Magazine champion. Then, only less than a year ago, he fought his first heavyweight fight. The fight against Grant was only his fourth as a HW, and it was set up as a prep for Adamek’s ultimate fights against the brothers. And objectively, he indeed did very well. It was his first test and at the same time a learning process of getting through defenses of the giant fighters. Give him another couple of fights, and he will be ready for Klitschkos, too. None of you realizes that Adamek is capable, single handedly, of bringing HW boxing to America. There is no better warrior in the heavyweight boxing than Adamek right now. Let him adjust not only to his opponents but to his own heavier frame. A couple of fights and he will be charming America with skills, speed and will stage best fights of the year, as he did in light and cruiser heavyweightdivisions not so long ago.
Adamek will ko Vladimir
If Adamek wants a worthy big man how about 08 superheavyweight champion olympian Roberto Cammarielle. He hasn’t turned pro yet but this would be an interesting matchup, The Klitschkos and Solis are not the only big fish in the pond.
Don’t think Adamek has a chance against either of the Klitschko’s. Vlad’s left jab, left hook and right hand are awesome and they are delivered with speed. Eddie Chambers has great defensive skills and he could not survive. Whoever Vlad hits with the left hook is gone. Having a great chin does not help when you get hit with a shot to the temple.
He couldn’t KO Grant, but he should KO Vitali Klitschko ???? Ha !
grant is trying to make amadek look better to give himself a boost up in the ratings. amadek couldnt beat either one of them if he brought a blackjack into the ring.
Adamek: LISTEN TO ME!
DEVELOP A PUNCH, and you MAY do well in a HW title fight.
Otherwise? You are TOAST.
I wish the Polish guy well. He’ll need it.
I know how, and Fast Eddie Chambers knows so. Ask him.
Harry, Adamek has a granite chin you wrote, huh? How about Vlad’s left hook straight to the Tomash’s temple?
Harry, Vitaly has said – “I have a such physical fitness that I am able to box even 25!!! rounds if it will be necessary”. So you can imagine – how GOOD his stamina really is.
Bullsh*t! NOBODY can to outbox KO-bros. If you want to win, your only way to do it – KO. But the only one who will be KOed is you, not KO-bros.
Adamek has a granite chin.
Adamek is quick
Adamek can outbox Klitchkos, but no KO
I saw Vitali fight against Albert Sosnowski in Germany.He didnt move much and in the tenth round KO’d active and already tired opponent. Klitchko has a good timing, but against Adamek he will have to commit his endurance and stamina. He will swing and miss and may eventually get tired.
Anyway, against Klitchko, you just have to love the underdog, yah?
If Adamek couldn’t knock out Grant, then there is no way possible that he could knock out a K brother.
@polish fan
But Rahman hit twice has hard as Adamek mate!
Thomas will be as good a fight for the Klitschkos has anyone else out there.Give him his shot.
Adamek v Haye would be a great fight too!
How is adamek going to flurry and run against the bros they will obliterate him in exchanges.The German fans will boo him out of the ring if he runs. To stand and trade you have to have an offense like Lewis, Who could hold his own for a period of time.The k,s are too aggressive for Tomas.
Adamek had his hands full with Grant who is very poor in comparison to either brother.
I always had doubts Adamek could live with either brother in the ring and last night settled it for me.
Hes a true pro, a real tryer and gives it everything in his fights but everybody has their limits and i think the Ukranian brothers are beyond his.
Pavetkin will be a good test also for adamek. Adamek is clearly not the #1 contender.If he can beat solis or Pavetkin then he could be ?
How would grant know? Just because he fell short on his day does not mean adamek would fare well against the champs.but we do know he can run.,and flurry.
what use is it grant? think of what good you can think for yourself. think haye should be the one to face klitschko first. but i don’t believe that’s ever gonna happen.
you polish you will be ready to go down ha ha ha russian fan
if the fight was in Germany I’m Adolf Hitler
adamek will lose to the brothers theyre to powerful occording to the grant grant had him out on his feet and the brothers are much more powerful then adamek and david haye would do a john ruiz on adamek but even quicker adamek is a good boxer but even at light heavyweight didnt carry much power so david haye will take the fight for the right money and just end it quickly it it happens.
Adamek carnt KO anyone at Heavyweight !!!
lol knockout the Klitschko brother no he wont Adamek lacks powwer lots of his fights go the distance which is bad news for Adamek because i dont think he will outbox either Wlad or Vitali.
never sey never! Rahman KO Lewis you remember?
W.Klitschko UD 12 Adamek
V.Klitschko UD 12 Adamek
Too big, too powerful, too much ring craft to be affected by a man the size of Adamek.
write the truth… dont have experience in this weight…two more figt and will be ready
he may have some chance against wladimir but not a big one.
Much respect to Adamek. He is a real fighter with a big heart but against the klitschkos… NO CHANCE!
So?
