This is supposed to be Tomasz Adamek’s moment to shine tonight against former heavyweight title challenger 38-year-old Michael Grant (46-3, 34 kO’) at the Prudential Center, Newark, New Jersey. Adamek is expected to win and win big in an effort to make him look like a more appealing opponent for the Klitschko brothers. Undersized for a heavyweight at only 6’1 ½”, Adamek has to look good against the aging 6’7” Grant if he wants to drum up interest for a fight against one of the Klitschko brothers in the near future. However, Adamek looked shaky at times in his last fight against an overweight Chris Arreola and was staggered a number of times by Arreola before Chris faded from fatigue and injure to his left hand. Grant can punch a little and has no pressure on him whatsoever in this fight. Grant has a small chance of pulling off an upset if he can land one of his big right hands at some point in the fight and take Adamek out. In that case, it could be Grant who would be facing one of the Klitschko brothers instead of the smaller Adamek and that would make for a somewhat interesting fight due to the similar sizes between Grant and the 6’6” Wladimir Klitschko and 6’7” Vitali Klitschko.
