Courageous Pole Will Lose To Boxer Built Like "Precious"

Former WBC world light heavyweight champion Tomasz “Granite Chin” Adamek will fight Chris “Nightmare” Arreola April 24 at the Ontario Community Events Center in Ontario, CA.

Adamek (40-1, 27 KOs) declared yesterday that he will dedicate his bout versus Arreola (28-1, 25 KOs) to those killed in Saturday’s plane crash near Smolensk airport in western Russia.

The President of the Republic of Poland, Lech Kaczynski, and dozens of political, military and religious leaders perished in this weekend’s tragedy.

“Fate took friends, people who I always admired,” said Adamek, 33, who was born in Zywiec, Poland.

“Many people so important for my home country—their families need us. They need compassion as they grieve. There’s not much I can do, but I would like to dedicate my upcoming fight to all of those who perished Saturday morning and all those left grieving. Poles living in America and my American friends have been calling me, saying words of sympathy because they know that I’m Polish. Today, in the United States of America, we are all Polish.”

Adamek, who is also a past IBF, IBO, and The Ring magazine cruiserweight titlist, is courageous and his “granite chin” enables him to recover from vicious punches that would knock lesser competitors onto Queer Street.

Arreola, 29, is a very skilled Mexican-American boxer who possesses extreme power in both of his fists.

However, Arreola is built like the lead character from Precious and his work ethic is an absolute disgrace to the sport of boxing.

Unfortunately, talent is sometimes too much to overcome and fans should expect Arreola to emerge victorious over Adamek by a late-round stoppage in approximately two weeks time.

Nevertheless, Tomasz Adamek will remain a heroic warrior in the ring and Chris Arreola will still be, well, a sad “Nightmare.”
