This Saturday, 21st August 2010, promises some serious heavyweight action when Tomasz Adamek faces challenger Michael Grant at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The fight is scheduled for 10:00pm EST and both boxers have a reputation to uphold and a point to make – so the battle won’t be anything short of merciless. BetUs is already offering great odds on this meeting of the giants:

Tomasz Adamek, aka Goral, approaches Saturday night with an almost immaculate record. Currently ranking 1st in his native Poland and 4th in the world, Adamek has only lost one of his 42 fights as a professional boxer. Adamek’s sole defeat – albeit by points – came courtesy of Chad Dawson, when the pair met at the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Florida in February 2007. Since then, Adamek has fought his way closer and closer to the top, remaining undefeated in his last ten altercations – and has no intentions of allowing Grant to take put an end to his winning streak.
Throughout his life in the ring, Adamek has proven himself a somewhat unlikely but immensely successful heavyweight boxer. Although tall, 33-year-old Adamek seems somewhat skinny to compete in heavyweight; a fact that may work to his advantage in the ring, luring rivals into a false sense of safety. Skinny or not, Adamek has achieved 27 of his 41 victories through KO and is now planning to add Michael Grant to his knock-out list.

Michael ‘Big’ Grant currently ranks 13th in the United States and 41st in the world – so he is taking on a tall order going up against Adamek. However, Grant is in outstanding shape at the moment. After almost two years of absence, Grant returned to the ring on the May 7th 2010 and promptly knocked out opponent Kevin Burnett in the first round. 38-year-old Grant has stepped into the ring for 49 professional fights, winning 46 of them (34 by KO); however, all his defeats saw Grant being knocked out. Still, there is little shame in being knocked out by the likes of Dominick Guinn, Jameel McCline and – least shameful of all – legendary Lennox Lewis.
This Saturday, Grant will be out to rebuild his newfound reputation even further – ideally by celebrating a triumph over Adamek.

This fight is an event no heavyweight aficionado can afford to miss. With much at stake for both fighters, we can all look forward to some serious action in the ring – so let’s get ready to rumble in New Jersey!

Heavyweights Chris Arreola and Manuel Quezada will meet in what promises to be an epic battle at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California on Friday 13th August 2010. Quezada and Arreola will compete for the WBC FECOMBOX heavyweight title; and both have reputations to rebuild after losing their respective last fights.

Bookmaker BetUs offers great early odds on the event.

Chris ‘The Nightmare’ Arreola is currently ranked third in the United States heavyweight charts and 13th in the records of the World Boxing Council. At 29, Arreola has stepped into the ring for 30 professional fights, recording 28 wins (25 of them through KO) and 2 losses. However, one of Arreola’s losses – a fight that ended with a KO in round 10 – was suffered when the young fighter faced off with Ukrainian-born Germany-based boxing legend Vitaly Klitchko; and ten rounds in the ring with Klitchko constitute at least a moral and spiritual victory.

In his last appearance, Arreola went over twelve rounds with polish heavyweight hero Tomasz Adamek and lost out narrowly by points. Four months later, Arreola believes he is in finer form than ever and is ready to live up to his nickname and become Manuel Quezada’s worst nightmare indeed.

Manuel Quezada, a California resident, is currently ranked 23rd amongst the United States heavyweights and 60th with the WBC. The 32-year-old has entered 34 professional fights, won 29 of them (18 through KO) and suffered five losses. Unbeaten since 2006, Quezada was working well until his most recent fight – at the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino at Lemoore, California on 8th April 2010 – when he suffered a defeat by points at the hands of Jason Gavern.

Although BetUs thus far favours Arreola over Quezada, the fight promises to deliver interesting moments to say the least. As both fighters have their reputations at stakes, trying frantically to keep the dreaded consecutive loss off their impressive resumes, we can look forward to a complete lack of mercy and guaranteed best efforts from both contenders.
