Steve Cunningham being trained by Naazim Richardson

I dunno Simon. I'm relatively new to the gym. I know Eddie Chambers and Yusef Mack train here though.

 

I thought this when I saw him in the ring against Adamek. The guy is massive. I'm guessing he possesses:

Hollow bones
Stick legs
Helium in his lungs

 

I'd like to see that as well.

Wlod beat Frag IMO and is 1-1 with Steve.

 

No he didnt!

He may have won more rounds but he DID NOT outbox Adamek in every round he didnt get K/D'd in.

 

He will not beat Adamek. Adamek will be better prepared and will fight smarter than in the 1st fight.
I respect Cunningham - he is great boxer, but new trainer will not bring anything which could surprise Adamek. Cunningham is dangerous, because he is fast and has pretty good punch rate. But this everybody knows. Cunningham cant be better boxer because of the structure of his body. His legs are thin and he has got the centre of gravitiy quite high so he is easy to knock down (what Adamek proved). Also the power of his punching is low-graded.

It will be a great fight. I dont know if better than 1st one, but it will be more one sided and may not last 12 rounds. Adamek KOs Cunningham in one of the later rounds.

 

Yep!

But I think the Wlodarczyk from the Fragomeni fight would lose to Steve. Wlodarczyk has changed a lot imo from the guy from the Cunningham I, May and Rossitto fights... he just doesn't really look the same.. :-(

I think a big factor might have been that really long layoff.

Wlodarczyk fought a very poor game plan but he won in my eyes none the less. Id kill for a guy like Gmitruk to train Wlodarczyk tho, man that would be pure awesomeness. He needs to get rid of the current one!

 

Cunningham should get great training now and adjust to be the best fighter he can be.

 

Sounds good...we'll c

 

Adamek only outboxed Cunningham for like 1 round and that was the 11th.
After that Adamek couldnt win a round unless he knocked down Cunningham or had him hurt.

 

Well, that's a pretty damned good way to win a fight

Besides, Adamek won more than one round outside of the KD's. He was connecting with the cleaner, more damaging shots and Steve didn't land enough of those flashy combos to win the rounds he needed to which, thanks to the knockdowns, was practically all of them.

 

So you had Steve winning by 2 points?

 

This is great news...Naazim seems like an outstanding trainer and I think Cunningham needs 'polishing' (to say the least). Cunningham has great size, heart and with a good head on his shoulders; Naazim can only make him a better fighter.

 

Great move bu Cunningham. Hope Nazim can give him better strategies for his fights.

 

good news for steve! i'm stoked on this. i've thought for a long time that he could do quite a few things better and be a far better fighter. naazim's the one to show him the way.

 

Good move for Steve. This says he's serious about his career as a professional boxer and wants to be a champion. :good
