I watched the fight on polish TV, can someone say how did HBO commentary looked like? Was it fair or biased?
Once again trying to shove the "house" fighter down peoples throats. I got more than i expected put of Adamek tonighthappy
I scored five for Adamek, but it could reasonably have been scored either way or 10-10. I agree that this thing doesn't end well for Adamek, but I'm becoming a fan. He loses to either Klitschko, and he's a 50-50 with Haye or Povetkin. Other than that, I think he's favoured over anyone. Not bad for a former 175 pounder in an era of giants with decent skills.
I thought the fight could have gone either way and had it a draw its been a long time since i scored a fight even , in fact i scored 2 rounds even which i rarely do my card 115-115. 1. Even 10-10 2. Arreola 10-9 3. Adamek 10-9 4. Arreola 10-9 5. Arreola 10-9 6. Arreola 10-9 7. Adamek 10-9 8. Adamek 10-9 9. Adamek 10-9 10. Arreola 10-9 11. Even 10-10 12. Adamek 10-9 115-115 !!
How the **** can you score it a draw. Unless you dont count the body shots of Adamek and his jabs. Arreola had a few rounds where he cornered Adamek and Adamek got scared but even in those rounds in terms of punches being landed Adamek did more.
Admitedly some rounds were very close and could have gone either way, particularly the first two rounds...... ......but I'm baffled as to how the thread here thinks Adamek won it hands down...... I had Arreola winning rounds 1,2,4,5,6, 10, and 11. Adamek winning rounds 3,7,8,9,and 12. 115-113 for Arreola. Adamek landed more, but Arreola's imo were more effective. I gave the first two rounds to Arreola because I thought his jab alone was doing more damage than Adamek's whole repertoire. To me, this fight falls within a 115-113 fight either way. For that one judge and some of you here to have Arreola winnning only 2 or 3 rounds is imo ridiculous. .......and btw, I'm not even an Arreola fan. I dont like his way of being in front of the camera with all the cuss words, and I dont particularly feel he's very skilled......but he showed guts tonight fighting with a badly hurt hand and sucking it up to continue to fight to win. You know, Arreola when interviewed believes he lost......I think that the pain he was in late in the fight influenced his belief in that. Great fight!
divac and anarci, if you score all close rounds in favor of Arreola, then the result might be around the draw. You know that its unfair to score the close rounds in favor of 1 fighter. Adamek was the better figher tonight, even Cris admitted this :good
Adamek didnt do much as far as scoring too the body, in fact Arreola landed more body shots, check the HBO stats on body shots scored. I showed you my card and i dont have no problem backing up how i scored it. I wish Arreola would have came in under 240 cause this fight wouldnt have gone the distance,but hey thats Arreolas fault and i give Adamek credit for fighting a disciplined fight. Adamek definitely outlanded Chris but his shots had nothing on them, Arreola had Adamek shitting bricks at times and scored the more meaningful punches. Guess depends on what you like but this fight was as close as it gets.
I juz rewatched it and god damn adamek outlanded him like 4 to 1 , i wouldnt give arreola more than 2-3 rounds
