An upset would be nice, and it would open a true path to Unification in the Heavyweight division, but I don't see it happening. Vitali will just be TOO MUCH for Adamek, who I expect to be a puffy mess by the end of this thing. He may go the distance but I doubt that too. As it stands right now, a win over Vitali would not make Adamek THE Champ, just a WBC titlist with a legit #1 ranking to the Ring Heavyweight Champion, Wlad Klitschko.
The path to unification is currently blocked by the Brothers Klitschko who refuse to fight eachother and have their strange policy of
co-defending their "brotherly interpretation" of the heavyweight championship firmly in place. A loss by one, in this case Vitali, would make it possible for a fight to take place (Wlad vs Adamek) for all the belts, all the marbles, and for the first time since Lennox Lewis retired, boxing would have a true UNDISPUTED heavyweight champion and boxing
needs a single Undisputed Heavyweight Champion, not a title deliberately split by a pair of fighters who won't friggin fight eachother!
Vitali TKO10 Adamek.
WBC Heavyweight Champion Vitali Klitschko fights Tomasz Adamek tomorrow on HBO at 4:45 EST. 
Result: As predicted, Vitali TKO10 Adamek. As I watched Adamek plod, I kept thinking about what a Mike Tyson would be trying to do, or a Rocky Marciano, somebody with the speed, skills & balls to get inside and unleash fast punches to the head and/or body. Still, Vitali seems unbeatable right now, I give him credit, he is VERY good and may end up on my Top 10 Heavyweights list someday when it's all said and done.
