    Not quite.

    Klitschko won every round and forced the stoppage.


    He also landed a lot more punches in 9 rounds than Adamek did in 12.

    yes, vitali is bigger. for a former light heavy adamek to beat the same guy is impressive. to dominate, when he's the guy who's supposed to get knocked out.

    Associated Press had it 114-114!

    Arreola was a tough one, but its ridicolous.

    I had 6 rounds apiece and a draw could of been fair. Adamek did land more punches, but Arreola clearly the harder stronger shots. I give credit to both fighters, one for fighting the much heavier man and the other for fighting while injured, it showed guts from both. Adamek was a liar though for saying he never got hurt. He got rocked dozens of times by Arreola's jab and almost knocked down by a jab too. He was lucky Arreola was injured. A rematch would be great, but I don't think Adamek would dare give Arreola a rematch.

    He beat seven shades of **** out of Arreola's face. Also, you're crazy if you think that fight was a draw.

    Sounds about right. Swap rounds 5 and 10 for me.

    In 5th Arreola was rough and tough and landed harder shots, Adamek even hit the canvas but it wasn't KD. But in the whole round Adamek was better in my eyes, he landed more especially the jab and put some nice body work on Arreola. But I can see why other person would give it to Chris. I saw 10th clear for Arreola

    Well that's a far cry from my 10-2 score.

    Arreola clearly THREW the stronger shots.

    His problem was, he didn't land them.

    I don't think he landed one single clean power shot the entire fight.


    (If he had, that might have been lights out for Adamek).


    Adamek landed dozens of clean, crisp power shots to both head and body. He blocked or avoided nearly everything that Chris threw. Nothing landed cleanly on him.

    And as for being hurt, I didn't see it. He took shots on his gloves that had enough momentum to move him backwqards (awkwardly before he had his shoe repaired) but that was the sheer weight advantage of Arreola. If those bombs had landed, they would have been game changers.

    I think the commentary was not great from HBO, who scored rounds for Arreola when he pushed forward and clubbed Adamek with BIG but ineffective shots, while ignoring the fact that in those same rounds, Adamek was busting Arreola's face up with accurate shots.

    I could debate round five with you.


    But you got the other 11 correct.


    So I'll leave you alone.:yep

    Arreola got outclassed and the HBO crew was not liking it.

    Some of the early round charity to Arreola was preposterous. Sure there were rounds in which Arreola landed a few mean punches that wobbled Adamek, but he lost the vast majority of the rounds. Volume and accuracy is how Adamek will win most of his fights at HW. IMO Shields and Bloodworth are the ideal trainers to accentuate his boxing skills and help him do that. Adamek proved one very important thing in this fight. His chin is HW grade.

    You had round five for Adamek?

    Anyway, very good post (immediately prior to this one I'm quoting).

    I agree--Adamek was extremely accurate tonight and was not getting a lot of credit from the commentators who seemed to love the wreckless and ineffective attacks from Arreola.

    Great win for Adamek. I still think this ride at heavyweight will end badly eventaully, but I hope Tomasz does well and wish him the best of luck.

    He is an extremely nice guy and his heart and determination are admirable qualities to say the least. If only more fighters fought with his guts and passion. Even better, he has some great skills and is a deceptively good athlete.

    I hope he gets a title shot sometime soon. At his age, he deserves it (especially considering the state of the heavyweight division). He has paid his dues and proved his worth at heavyweight (much moreso than Haye had before facing Valuev).
