In Newark, NJ last night, Tomasz Adamek (42-1, 27 KO’s) defeated Michael Grant (46-4, 34 KOs) in a unanimous decision. Adamek, now becomes one of the more prominent heavyweight fighters, and may soon get a chance to fight for a belt. The fight was scored, 117-111, 118-110 and 118-111.
Even though Adamek came away with a victory, some fight fans were disappointed. They had hoped that Adamek would prove that he was ready to take on one of the Klitschko brothers, but he seemed to struggle at times. Most of those who watched the fight would agree that Michael Grant seemed to have a better second half, almost knocking Adamek out in the 12th round. If he had a little more stamina in the tank, there is no question he would have put Adamek down.
We should see an Adamek vs. Klitschko fight in the near future. There of course isn’t anything scheduled yet, but it is destined to happen.
