<\/a>\"\"<\/a>As he prepares for his February 6 showdown in Newark against former world light heavyweight and cruiserweight champion Tomasz Adamek, 2004 U.S. Olympian Jason \u201cBig Six\u201d Estrada\u2019s nose is out of place and it doesn\u2019t have anything to do with sparring sessions gone wrong. Estrada (15-2, 3 KOs) feels disrespected by Team Adamek but not, surprisingly, for Adamek looking past him to a reported April 24 fight against Chris Arreola, rather their apparent belief that Adamek (39-1, 27 KOs) has faster hands than Estrada, whose lightning-like hand speed for a 240-pound heavyweight has been his calling card. \u201cLooking past me towards Arreola doesn\u2019t really bother me,\u201d Estrada said. \u201cI think it\u2019s silly and they\u2019ll hear about it after the fight. I never talk too much but I\u2019m going to talk like never before after this fight. I hope they keep thinking about fighting somebody else. I\u2019m keeping track of everything and got names of people to talk about after I beat Adamek.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to shutdown his plans. \u201cI\u2019m in the gym with sparring partners that are similar to him \u2013 tough, stand-up with decent hand speed. They made a big mistake offering me this fight and an even bigger mistake thinking he has faster hands than me. I\u2019ve heard that they\u2019ve brought in guys to work with who are big but don\u2019t have fast hands. That makes me laugh. How, all of a sudden is he going to have faster hands than me? I am bigger, stronger, faster, quicker and younger than him. I\u2019m just a better all-around fighter.\u201d Estrada also notes that he\u2019s never been down and Adamek was floored twice as a light heavyweight. \u201cI know he likes to pressure his opponents but how is he going to do that against a bigger guy like me,\u201d Estrada rhetorically asked. \u201cI\u2019m a heavyweight, not a light heavyweight. I\u2019ve never taken big hits like he has. They say he has a great chin, but so do I, and we know he has been hurt at least twice\u2026.by light heavyweights! They weren\u2019t flash knockdowns, either. I\u2019ve never been hurt in my whole career. I don\u2019t see him changing his come forward, tough guy style at this stage. He was a good light heavyweight, good cruiserweight, but I\u2019m a real heavyweight.\u201d Providence-native Estrada was one of the most highly decorated American amateur boxers ever, compiling an amazing 261-14 record in U.S. competition. He was the first boxer to win both the U.S. Nationals and U.S. Challenge three years (2001-2003) in a row. During his 5-year pro career, the 29-year-old Estrada has beaten solid heavyweights such as Lance Whitaker, Zuri Lawrence, Derek Bryant, Charles Sufford and Robert Hawkins.<\/p>\n

Adamek\u2019s lone win as a heavyweight, Estrada noted, was against an over-the-hill Andrew Golota. \u201cJason has had his best training camp,\u201d his promoter Jimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports, Inc.) remarked. \u201cHe\u2019s never been in better shape, mentally or physically. He\u2019s going to surprise a lot of people February 6th. Not me, though; I\u2019ve always believed in him and I know what he\u2019s capable of doing.\u201d By fight night, Estrada will have trained a full eight weeks for \u201cHeavy Artillery,\u201d much longer than ever before, and \u201cBig Six\u201d doesn\u2019t mind fighting in Adamek\u2019s backyard. \u201cTraining camp has been smooth,\u201d Jason explained. \u201cI\u2019ve never had this much time to prepare for a fight, maybe five weeks and a couple of days, at best. There\u2019s been plenty of time to get over little physical problems suffered in camp, not like in the past when I\u2019d go straight from doing very little to hard training. I\u2019m much more comfortable than I\u2019ve ever been because of this extended time in camp. Mentally, it really helps. \u201cThis is a big fight for me. Beating Adamek should take me to where I thought I\u2019d be by now in the heavyweight division. Fighting in front of all his Polish fans doesn\u2019t bother me at all. I\u2019ve never had a problem being the villain. His fans will have nothing to do with the fight. It\u2019s just going to be me and him in the ring. I\u2019m half Puerto Rican with a lot of family, friends and fans coming to the fight, especially from New Jersey and New York. I know there will be a lot more Polish fans there for him, but my Hispanic fans will be loud, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
