Adamu faught Vitali Klitchko - yes, according to Jim.
Jim also seemed to think Mark Krence was Mark Prince.
i always wondered what happened to Mark Prince after his loss to D-Man.
didnt realise he had changed his surname, had the same skin treatment as Michael Jackson and grown 4 inches in height.....

but from what i have read one has to seriously think that Froch would have lost if Adamu hadnt fought less than 2 weeks earlier.
A 12 round fight takes a lot of you, especially if you have a style like Adamu...
Adamu must have clocked up a few miles travelling over the past few weeks, again extrememly draining.
I notice Adamu weighed in 4lbs under the limit???? whats all that about???
I put it down to the dicky scales at first, but according to Kieran they were weighing heavy! So I, like you, found that weight very strange indeed. It would be interesting to know what he weighed against Typsko 13 days earlier!

he weighed in in socks, pants and two t shirts apparently for the Froch fight
And Jim Neilly said (hardly the most reliable source granted), Froch really struggled to get down to 12st, which I found strange, given Froch had been in hard training for the Dodson biggie.
I really feel they need to find a more established trainer for Froch. The Adamu fight was a warning that needs to be heeded.

I don't rate Rob McCracken hugely as a trainer... likewise I have concerns for David Haye staying with Adam Booth.
I'm not saying they "can't train" ...but when you have hot property, its a shame to waste it.
Imagine Haye & Froch getting on the phone to Freddie Roach and joining his set-up...

The "Mark Prince" comments had me getting all confused and I'm sure somebody said that Adamu had lost to Vitali KLITSCHKO,

We still do this to every prospect :) We have our favourites, and the people we write off; it would be interesting to see who gets it right the most, though.

I was thinking the same thing. I hope in a few years nobody pulls up an old thread of todays prospects I have dismissed. If DeGale makes it i'm finished.
