About Adamek-Dawson fight

Cunnignham's style is nothing like Dawson's. Watch the two fights again.

Read around here, notice that people give less credit than due to Dawson for beating Adamek in such a dominant fashion.

 

I'd agree with this.

As well, Adamek gets plenty of respect around here, I'd say.

The threadstarter's point about Buddy is well taken, though! Nothing rights a ship like tossing Buddy overboard!

 

He got knocked down late by Adamek, I think some may believe that Adamek was beginning to solve the puzzle. However, it was shocking how one sided that fight was for the majority of it. Adamek didn't seem weight drained or fatigued if I remember correctly, just completely bewildered, he had no answers of any kind for the majority of the fight.

Many are trying to turn Dawson into some sort of Legend way before he has earned the right.

I agree that Adamek's talents should not be dismissed based on this one performance. He is a solid, high level fighter and continues to entertain. I am looking forward to his next fights at cruiser.

 

Adamek was drained in that fight similiar to Abraham, when he fought last time vs(i forgot the name samuel? or somethin) 2bad adamek had worldclass oponnent cuz hesnot picking 0power bums like some of other "champions"

 

Gmitruk is really a underrated trainer but thats mostly cause hes not that well known. Hes a great trainer.

Adameks biggest mistakes were having Buddy and that snob Radoslaw Konder in his corner.

 

Agreed.

 

Soon dawsons china chin will crumble if he faces a guy who can hit.

 

Dawson= Adamek's daddy. He spanked that pole and there's no legitimate argument for a rematch, Adamek was totally and completely outclassed from the get go. Adamek owes Steve USS Cunningham a rematch. Cunningham could win if he doesn't abandon his gameplan and trade punches with the harder puncher (adamek) like he did last time. Besides the rounds Cunningham was knocked down in, he won every other round of the fight and was even winning 2 of the rounds he got knocked down in before the knockdowns.

 

atsch yeah cause Adamek and Johnson don't have any power :roll:

Despite all these reasons, i say the biggest reason for Adamek's loss then was Dawson himself. You can say he struggled with weight , but I didn't hear any of this when he was winning wars against Briggs and flooring Ulrich. Buddy was with Adamek when he fought Briggs the second time and yet Adamek still had success and no one was bitching. And about Adamek being an obvious natural at CW - I recall that the majority of the people including his fans, thought he was insane to make such a large jump in weight and and were sceptical about his chances there. I guess he proved most of us wrong on that point.
In any event, there is a reason why most people consider Steve Cunningham to be a poor man's version of Chad Dawson. Dawson has his defensive and concentration flaws and he fights in spurts, but he is one of the most technically gifted boxers in the sport today. I think we badly need to see Adamek rematch Dawson, preferably at CW to see who the better boxer is at the weight. If Adamek wins against Hopkins, I think this fight is inevitable as Dawson will be looking to cash in his reputation on a mega fight and will need a post-Hopkins Adamek to make that happen.

 

For starters, you discredit yourself right away when you say that Adamek lost every round in which he didn't score a KD. It would be illogical for Adamek to win an SD decission, had he only won 3 out of 12 rounds. And why would you ever ask anyone to disregard a knock down as if it never happened, let alone 3 of them? KD's indicate who the stronger puncher is are a part of boxing and one aspect of deciding who the better fighter is. Deal with it.
Secondly, as soon as Adamek had a whisper of life against Dawson he floored him, so a rematch is inrtiguing and will happen for the simple reason that since that fight, Adamek has gathered more momentum, popularity and respect than Dawson, who is slowly gaining a rep. for being a ducker.
