Dominick Guinn/Tomasz Adamek Discussion

Another odd comment by the OP...because Adamek didnt have a fight lined up 3 weeks after his previous one he is somehow not dedicated anymore.Besides the time he was shelved by King(like he does with most fighters) this 8 month break is the longest he has taken in years.

 

This one backfired on ya didnt it.

Now run off and bring Guinn a fresh spit bucket.

 

Adamek lacks one thing Steve and Eddie from Philly have in there game plan....make stupid faces every time you get tagged..dry hump the air in celebration every time you land your own. Word is he is working on those 2 things as we speak.:deal

 

"Did you see him stick his tongue out and then flick a counter right jab/cross hybrid into the air four inches in front of his opponent's face and then block a body shot with his stomach? He is DOMINATING THE ACTION! I've never seen a heavyweight this slick!"

~BJ Flores, expert commentator

 

Sure,,as long as Adamek continues to guzzle Vodka in between rounds you may have something.

 

The only thing special about Guinn is that he has sparred with Adamek as far as I can tell. To whose advantage that is would be pure guessing on my part. I do think guinn would get absolutely smoked by chambers or cunningham, so it stands to reason he may not win a round in this.

 

I like that NBC Sports is showcasing some good fighters. It's good for boxing. But I do find their commentary hateable. It's that corny Bryant Gumbel / Bob Costas type commentating. They're basically US homers and act like we're watching the olympics. BJ Flores is terrible. There's a reason why Lederman doesn't commentate and score rounds - very hard to do both.

 

Wait..wait..wait..hold on!!!! Are you telling me that in a sport where people make a living a person managed to knock down another person.

Well i'll be a ******'s uncle, aint that sumffin'.

 

Folks, Guinn hasn't stopped any one of note since Grant and that was in 2003! Trust me, he ain't stopping Adamek.

 

I'm sorry, but this belief about Adamek's chin being bad just doesn't hold. Start from the fact that he's only been stopped once in his entire career (and that was a ref stoppage from punch accumulation from one of the hardest punchers in the game...so he's basically never been knocked out in his entire career) and you'd see Adamek's chin is pretty darn good, despite coming from light heavyweight, not running around the ring and engaging guys twice his size.

 

Only because you're over rating Guinn a bit. In the last 10 years, the man has done nothing but lose every time he steps up even slightly. I think this is more than a motivational issue for him. Having said that I do see some of your points and wouldn't mind putting 20 bucks on Guinn, given the nice odds.
