By Eric Thomas: The September 10th fight between WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (42-2, 39 KO’s) and number #1 ranked WBC contender Tomasz Adamek (44-1, 28 KO’s) will be taking place at the 44,000 seat Wroclaw stadium in Poland. This is a big stadium and it’s almost guaranteed to be filled to capacity with mostly Adamek fans on 9/10.

The Vitali-Adamek fight could have taken place at the even larger 55,000 seat stadium in Warszawa, Poland, according to fightnews.com. However, the Klitschko and Adamek team opted to have it take place in the slightly smaller Wroclaw stadium for some reason.

Unlike the heavyweight unification bout that was announced earlier today between IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko vs. WBC champion David Haye in Hamburg, Germany, the Vital—Adamek bout will likely be a huge mismatch with Vitali jabbing and pounding the much smaller, weaker Adamek at will until the fight is ultimately stopped.

Adamek is a former light heavyweight and cruiserweight champion previously known for having big power in those weight classes. Unfortunately, much of Adamek’s once impressive power has all but disappeared with him moving up to the heavyweight division. Adamek is now a peck and run fighter in the mode of Chris Byrd. He’s like a slower version of Byrd but with a weaker chin, slightly more power but slower hand and foot speed.

It’s safe to say that Adamek is going to have tremendous problems with Vitali’s huge 6’7” height and long reach. The only way that Adamek will last in this fight is if he runs and stays out of the way of as many of Vitali’s big shots as possible. However, Adamek is going to have to come in range to land his own punches, even if it’s only jabs. This is where Adamek is going to get hit. As we saw in Adamek’s recent win over the big and slow 6’6” 285 pound Kevin McBride on April 9th, Adamek likes to bend forward and throw jabs to the midsection. He did that repeatedly against McBride, while mixing in an occasional combination. Vitali will time Adamek and land some big right hands when Adamek attempts to throw his pesky jabs. We may see this fight ending very quickly with Adamek getting stopped in the first three rounds if Vitali can stun him with a right hand with Adamek in the process of bending forward to throw one of his jabs to the body.
