Bad Left Hook, Global Boxing News and Commentary

On the bright side, this is Arreola's lowest weight since fighting Chazz Witherspoon two years ago. On the not as bright side, it's still a far cry from the 225 - 235 range where he looked his best.

Freaky stuff. On Monday, a friend of Tomasz Adamek offered to take him on a sightseeing tour. Adamek declined, concerned about the weather conditions. The plane crashed, killing all five aboard.

According to Adamek's Polish promoter, Tomasz Adamek has gotten the call asking for a fight against Cris Arreola, in Riverside, California, on HBO, on April 24. Of course, Goral still needs to get past Jason Estrada before he should look to fights against major opponents four months from now.

For those of you who are in NYC and really interested in watching Adamek-Golota, Club Exit in Brooklyn will be airing the fight. Cover charge will be $20, and the card starts at 11:30 a.m. Club Exit is a few doors down from the G train Greenpoint stop at 149 Greenpoint Avenue.

According to Bokser.org, Tomasz Adamek has gotten sick of waiting around for a big money fight at cruiserweight and will be moving to heavyweight. This means there will be no rematch with Steve Cunningham, and pretty much forecloses the opportunity to have Adamek-Hopkins. Of course, if a network is willing to dish out big money for Adamek-Cunningham II, or if Hopkins steps to the plate for a fight for the cruiserweight championship, all of this could change. One possible target mentioned in the article would be a fight with Andrew Golota, which would be huge in the Polish community.
