    You can curse and swear all you like, it doesn't change a thing.

    You'll see what is going to happen to Adamek if he is matched up with Pulev, Helenius, Price, or anyone with Vitali-like size and power. Adamek is a gutsy guy, but his time in the HW division is coming to a close, so unless he is going to start fighting tomato cans, it doesn't look good for him.

    If you're a fan of Polish heavyweights, you'd be better off getting behind Artur Szpilka or Mariusz Wach.

    It's amazing how a former LHW has beaten guys like Arreola (doubters: Arreola too big will walk through Adamek's punches and knock him out) and now Chambers (doubters: Chambers too slick, Adamek wont be able to hit him) and you're saying he's done. What a dumb statement. Adamek has faced every kind of fighter at HW and he's walked away with a W, save for the Vitali fight. Since you're not calling for all the past Klit opponents to end their careers, and 99% of them have done much less then Adamek even at HW, why the double standard? Adamek can beat all the guys you've named above btw (for starters all those fighters havent proven squat and they currently cant carry Adamek's jock strap). When will the chronic underestimating of Adamek end? He's a bona fide top 5 HW.

    You can frame it that way, sure, but one could also say that Adamek is a cruiser who has been pushing his luck at HW. Aside from Vitali, he just scraped by against Michael Grant, and got a split decision against the worst version of Arreola.

    My read on Adamek is that he can't keep pushing his luck this way w/o disastrous results. I don't think it's encouraging that he couldn't step it up and get rid of a one-armed and hardly intimidating Eddie Chambers. His lack of KO power at heavyweight is a huge impediment for him.

    Plus, he's 35 and has been through a lot of wars.

    Szpilka is the guy to watch. He's young and should peak after the K-Bros are gone. And he has real knockout power.

    you don't know **** about boxing!!! moronic post right here!!!

    You don't get points for throwing extra punches and missing, in fact it counts against you as it gives your opponents credit for great defence which is a scoring criteria and it makes you lose points for effective aggression (cause it's not effective if you're not connecting) also for ring generalship cause you ain't controling **** if you look amateur and hit gloves and air all night!!! If you believe your first example (the one I highlighted) than you gotta give the decision to eddie cause not only did he land at a higher percentage he landed more punches too!!

    I swear some people need a lesson on how fights are scored, haven't been around the sport long enough i take it......lemme break it down for you noobs:

    scoring criteria number 1: clean punching (who landed the more clean shots throughout the course of the round)- very few rounds did adamek land more clean punches, in fact he landed only a handful of clean punches all night, you don't get points for blocked shots, they gotta be CLEAN

    scoring criteria number 2: effective aggression- key word EFFECTIVE meaning that your aggression is benefiting your plan and not the opponents which it did in this fight as adameks pressure led to chambers countering and being able to implement his plan of countering, aka adameks aggression was not effective, it helped chambers if anything.

    scoring criteria number 3: ring generalship (who made the fight their type of fight)- do we even need to discuss this one, it was clearly chambers type of fight in there, he did what he wanted when he wanted, adamek was unable to sustain any sort of succesful gameplan

    scoring criteria number 4: defence- lets not even go here......13% connect for adamek-33% for chambers means clearly Chambers wins on the defense tip.




    Now use these and score the fight properly......hitting gloves/arms/air is not anything to score favorably, in fact it's a credit to the other guys defense.

    Clear win for Chambers, with ONE hand. **** was shameful for an 'elite' professional boxer to struggle with him knowing exactly what he could and would do. Had well over half the fight to adjust and couldn't... Activity doesn't win rounds if you're not hitting your target..

    Name another country that porduces more top ranked fighters per population.

    And you Poles wonder why you get so much ****.

    I scored the fight 7-5 for Eddie, so there was no shock in Adamek winning. But to be on here acting as if he "conquered" a guy 25 pounds lighter than him who outlanded him with one ****ing arm and act like it's some huge victory on Adameks resume????

    This "win" speaks more to how pathetic Adamek is than how great of a fighter he is.

    Yeah sure mandatory challenger but Stiverne is Vitali's mandatory and he is sidestepping him pretty well to fight the easy Charr fight. Vitali fights the easy guys only as a rule. Anyway,it dosen't chane the fact that Vitali neede 10 rounds to stop Adamek on his feet and Arreola and also needed 10 rounds to beat Sosnowski.

    You can start by saying yeah Vitali is an arm puncher who never hit even half as hard as his little brother. True. Vitali is strong yes but not a one punch KO artist. His KO ratio is very deceptive because he stops all these guys very late on their feet. Arm Punches.

    I predicted a close fight with Adamek winning on activity and thats what happened.Most people who have Adamek winning have it the same way.

    Adamek beating Chambers is a very good win on his resume!
