Kevin McBride:

(March 29, 2011) - Kevin McBride will be the opponent when he fights Tomasz Adamek two weeks from now at the Prudential Center in Newark. Adamek has won all but one of his 44 career bouts, and is being groomed for a big money fight against one of the Klitschko brothers. By contrast, McBride enters the bout having lost four of his last five fights. Truth be told, the 6’6”, 280 lbs McBride has been hand-picked for the fight so that Adamek can get comfortable hitting big men. At 6’1”, the Pole is a smallish heavyweight who is still perfecting tactics to be used against the giant Klitschkos. Thus, at first glance, the upcoming bout looks like batting practice for Adamek: another easy win en route to his showdown with the Klitschkos. However, there is another perspective to take on this fight; it concerns the possibility of an upset, as remote as that chance may be. The hulking McBride has a puncher’s chance against Adamek.
