By Erik Schmidt: To no big surprise, Tomasz Adamek (39-1, 27 KO’s) stopped 41-year-old heavyweight journeyman Andrew Golota (41-8-1, 33 KO’s) in the 5th round last night at the Atlas Arena, in Lodz, Poland. Adamek, 32, had little problem with the slow Golota, battering him with hard combinations from the 1st round on. Adamek knocked Golota down once in the 1st from a right hand and then put him down a second time with a right and then hard left hand in the 5th.

Playing the Pick ‘Em Game 2009 Pt. II: Abraham-Taylor, Haye-Valuev, Adamek-Golota
By Philip H. Anselmo:
Arthur Abraham vs. Jermain Taylor
Arthur will beat Jermain over 12 decisively. Taylor will gain a personal victory by making it the 12 round distance, but will get out-hustled down the stretch, again. Abraham will open a lot of eyes after this performance. His skill-level must have been forgotten by the majority of Americans who are picking Taylor to win. It wasn’t that long ago that Arthur beat a fresher version of Edison Miranda, twice.
Does Tomasz Adamek Have a Chance at Heavyweight?
By Philip Anselmo: With all the attention drawn to ultra-gregarious, former undisputed cruiserweight champ David Haye, who challenges 7’0” Nicolay Valuev for the WBA heavyweight girdle this fall, the emergence of current IBF and Ring Magazine cruiserweight king Tomasz Adamek’s venture into the division of big men has thus far been a quiet one. The relentless punching Adamek (38-1, 26 KO’s) is currently set to meet seen-better-days, perennial underachiever and rival countryman Andrew Golota (41-7-1, 33 KO’s) on Oct. 24th in Lodz Poland in a 12 round domestic “Bragging Rights” type fight.

By Jim Dower: The potential big money fight between Bernard Hopkins and International Boxing Federation cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek might not be dead after all according to Dan Rafael.

News – HBO Interested in Dawson vs. Hopkins
By Manuel Perez: According to Dan Rafael at ESPN, HBO is interested in putting together a match between International Boxing Federation light heavyweight champion Chad Dawson and 44-year-old Bernard Hopkins. It seems that HBO doesn’t have any interest in showing a bout between light heavyweight contender 40-year-old Glen Johnson and IBF cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek. Instead, HBO would much rather see Hopkins face Dawson, who arguably is the best fighter in the light heavyweight division at this time.
