Adamek, 48-2, 29 KO's, will take on Tony Grano, 20-3-1, 16 KO's, in Grano's own hometown in a 10-round heavyweight challenge.

Right here, take a look at a collection of quotes and photos from a recent Tomasz Adamek workout session. Tomasz Adamek: "I am a different fighter than I was in 2008. I've changed everything. Everyone can see. I don't stand straight in front of my opponent anymore and I move my head. I am stronger." Roger Bloodworth: "If Cunningham thinks that he will able to do the same things he did against Adamek four years ago, he will have very unpleasant surprise. Adamek is a very different fighter right now; maybe even a completely different fighter altogether." Roger Bloodworth: "Cunningham - Gavern? First fi...

With the five-round win, Adamek, 35, improved to 47-2 with 28 knockouts. Walker (39-8-1, 31 knockouts) sent Adamek to the ground early, but Adamek recovered in time to turn the tables. By the end of Round 2, Walker had been knocked down himself. ''I know and hear that Travis wants to knock me out,'' Adamek said at the prefight press conference, ''and this would be the only way he could beat me. Wishing and actually doing are two separate things.'' Well, Walker, 33, registered a knockdown, just not a knockout. Either way, in the end, it just wasn't enough.

Can It get any better than this for a boxing fan? Just like in the good old days of the sport, the show is loaded - top to bottom. And unlike some anemic modern day boxing events, this one has no shortage of stars, competitive battles, or important matchups. Even better, boxing fans can come watch the fights in the afternoon, and be home long before two scheduled West Coast fights begin on cable TV that evening. The NJ event, which is titled the "Ironbound Throwdown", could have easily been named the "Ironbound Throwback", given the quality and quantity of the scheduled bouts. The show is highlighted by not one, not two, but a trio of hard-hitting heavyweight fights that include ranked contenders battling toward a title shot.

Heavyweight contenders Tomasz Adamek and Eddie Chambers will meet in a battle of former title challengers both looking to earn another opportunity at a title shot. Adamek (45-2, 28 KOs) recently made his comeback on the second Fight Night card March 24 when he defeated Nagy Aguilera by lopsided decision. It was Adamek's first bout since getting stopped in 10 rounds in a one-sided loss to WBC champ Vitali Klitschko. Adamek hurt his hand in the Aguilera fight. It was thought to be broken, but later showed just bruises and he should be ready to go for June 16. Adamek is a former light heavyweight and former undisputed cruiserweight champ. Adamek then stepped up to heavyweight where he earned wins over Jason Estrada, Michael Grant, and Chris Arreola. Chambers (36-2, 18 KOs), will be making his first appearance in Fri, 06 Apr 2012 19:21:05 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/eddie_chambers_tomasz_adamek_to_meet/10500353 http://network.yardbarker.com/boxing/article_external/eddie_chambers_tomasz_adamek_to_meet/10500353 Eddie Chambers, Tomasz Adamek to meet http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/articles/eddie_chambers_tomasz_adamek_to_meet/10500353 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/f/9/f9942a7e6c6ca75e35d170f703489200a2ccfe75/mini/5b.jpg Heavyweight Contenders set to Collide June 16th at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ Main Events announced today that Tomasz Adamek and Eddie Chambers will face off in a battle of heavyweight contenders, on Saturday, June 16, 2012, at the Prudential Center, in Newark, NJ. The fight is the feature bout of the fourth edition of NBC Sports Network's nationally televised "Fight Night" boxing series. The TV broadcast will begin at 9PM ET. The competitive 10-round contest pits two former title challengers against each other in an important fight that should move the winner up the heavyweight ladder, and place him closer to a second crack at one of the Klitschko brothers. Given the goal of both Adamek and Chambers is to win the heavyweight title, it figures that they are approaching this fight as a "must-win".
