I'm picking Flores here, he is a very skilled, slick fighter. Flores UD, I reckon he will stay on the outside and outbox Adamek.
That seemed to be Cunn's plan, too. And with a 7" reach advantage, you'd think he would have been successful. But Adamek knew what to do. Get inside that long reach & bang him with short, hard punches. Same thing will happen to BJ. You ain't staying away from Adamek. He comes to fight...not dance.
please... a lot of adameks fights were hella close, how the hell is he gonna murder a really slick fighter like flores, who has fought at heavyweight...
Easily? The win was pretty controversial. Ding outlanded Flores and landed the harder punches and was the pursuer. Most cards I saw had Ding winning. I've seen Flores a bunch of times, and outside of that fight, he's always looked like a big version of Peter Manfredo. Not impressed at all. Adamek should be able to take him.
Sounds like this fight was put to together quickly to avoid any type of rematch with Cunningham? That has to be the only reason. It's not even a week later. And why wouldn't you explore options for a rematch. Who would pick it up (HBO,Showtime), how much money, ect.... Strange? I was talking to one of the writers after the event and Kathy Duva stated that they wanted to put on another show as soon as possible. So hopefully he fights his guy. Steve gets a fight under his belt then rematch. He's in control...he's the champ...
controversial for who, esb'ers :rofl look, i'm not saying flores whooped his ass, but flores did make ding look ameaturish....not that flores shined like a star, but he still won
Adamek is a ko waiting to happen. I see why he won't give Cunningham a rematch. He felt Steve towards the end of the fight. I hope Flores ko's his ass. Real fighters do real rematches.
So Adameks not a "real" fighter???:think One thing is for sure...your a real ******* for making that comment. Why does the rematch have to be immediate?
Its business, Flores is no bum either so Adamek should not be criticized for not giving immediate rematch to Cunningham. Assuming you right Steve should gave one more shot to Wlodarczyk but he didn't ... is he a real fighter then or not?
Not that they're the best scorers in the world, but Atlas and Tessitore (who covered the fight) each had Ding winning comfortably. He did make Ding look amateurish, but he also looked like crap himself. He basically ran the entire fight, and ineffective aggression can still trump doing nothing but running away.
