How is he a KO waiting to happen? Adamek doesnt have to give Cunningham a rematch. He beat him convincingly, and it wasnt controversial. Just because a couple of Cunningham fans (and a ******ed judge), SOMEHOW had him ahead on the cards, doesnt mean that is the case. Cunningham will probably get his rematch, but that doesnt mean it has to be immediate. As far as real fighters? Adamek is as real of a fighter and warrior as it gets. :deal
I saw adamak vs cunningham and although adamaks defense isnt exctly the best, I dont think he is a KO waiting to happen
Flores is perhaps the slickest cruiserweight out there and moves around more like a middleweight. He has a jab he uses constantly and a powerful underrated right hand that kept iron chinned wilson in check whenever ding a ling wanted to get inside. no one wants to have ding a ling inside anyways Flores has great speed as well and even tho he may not have Ademek's experience as a pro, Flores like Godfrey have great amateur experience to fall back on and win fights
Another great fight. Flores can box but I don't think he'll be able to keep Adamek off of him. Adamek by late round TKO.
Flores isn't that slick, just the fights you've seen he's faced slow opponents. It's not tough to outslick Ding, he's a bulldozer. Besides, he's not even close to the same level of slickness as Dawson. If Flores was a southpaw, I might give him a chance, but it's not as if Adamek wasn't able to connect a fair amount on Dawson. Maybe Flores engages less than Dawson, but it's not as if Flores has a big size or reach advantage either (whereas he was about 4 inches taller than Ding). Track down a few of Flores' older fights before declaring how great he is.
never said he was great he's far from it and i wouldnt put adamek on a high pedestal either. i've seen him fight live several times , has improved alot as a pro, and was great as an amateur. compared to other cruisers he's slick and has great footwork. he may not be the biggest puncher out there, but he has the speed, ring generalship, and he has the tools to get far. yes ding is hittable, but he always had that punchers chance and alot of people actually favored wilson to win. anyways i think it should be a close, competitive fight.
Easily? You need to rewatch that fight. Ding was winning rounds, not much but he was. And Ding isnt even a boxer hes more of a brawler type. All you ESBers were all praising the new cruiserweight king in Ding being he posted here. I mean theres even topics about Ding vs prime Mike Tyson for ****s sakes LOL. Exactally. I respect Ding hes a good fighter and hes a cool guy, but come on get real. Adamek is way better than Ding. Ding throws wild looping punches expecting to get a big shot all the time, and misses almost all of them. And Ding was beating him up until the mid rounds. This fight will be awesome! Hopefully in Newark! Flores has been waiting patiently for a title shot, being he was number 1 IBD contender for quite some time. Adamek is fighting top competition son, why you hatin? Everyone kept bitching and calling Adamek a ***** who wouldnt give Briggs a rematch... If im correct, he KOd Ulrich and went on to fight Briggs for the rematch didnt he? Dont give me that ****. Cunningham will get his rematch. Flores has been waiting for a while, and even BEFORE the Cunningham - Adamek fight IBF has been saying Flores would get the winner. This man has the right idea. Ding doesn't put his punches together well.... He threw looping shots trying to get a KO. Adamek will keep pressuring Flores and will thorw nice clean punches that will land and possibly KO Flores in the late rounds. Adamek will win no doubt. I hope Flores is the favorite, Id like to win another 400 bucks. :yep
atschsome people. My idea of a guy who is a KO waiting to happen is usually a highly touted prospect who has shown a leaky chin(Khan is your perfect example).Adamek has already been there and done that. BTW idiot boy,Flores has a better KO% than Steve.....think about it:think
Just to let you know Adamek has much experience as a pro but he also has a vast amateur experience as well...he didn't just walk into the pros of the street....
Sweet! I like Tomasz to win this. Flores was able to be cute with Ding, but somebody who combines world-class power with boxing skill is going to give him fits. This is a good scalp for Adamek en route to Cruiserweight dominance. This, then a Cunningham rematch, then the beltholders and from there whatever prospects have sprung up in the meantime or the Contender winner. After that he'll have nothing to prove (and no possible way to prove it!) short of moving up to heavy, which is a bad idea and where I think he loses to even a C level fighter. :thumbsup
It will be a good fight if it happens, I would rather see Cunningham II or G. Jones. But there is nothing wrong with this fight. I got Adamek in this one. But Flores is a very big Crusierweight, and carries a much bigger punch then Cunningham. I like that Adamek is taking a fight so quick March is good, hell maybe he will be a fighting Champ instead of most of these guys that fight twice a year.
