I observed that Adamek landed the harder punches through the majority of fight, so it wasnt aggression alone. However as I said the fight was close and I understand people saying that USS won 7-5 or even 8-4. Saying that Adamek won 3 rounds at best is completey biased point of view. There wont be any gifts for Adamek, thats for sure. This time, he will come to the lion's cave.
I had both yours and Cunningham's fight with Adamek in favor of you guys 115-113 and even that is said to be tight. Losses are rough...
Agreed. Yet another black eye on this wonderful sport which we all love. You being a fighter, seeing these bad decisions must be even worse because you know it can happen to you. In fact, it did happen to you against the same opponent. This is terrible stuff. I can't fathom how Freddie Roach and B.J. Flores had this fight so close. Anyway, I guess that is just how it goes sometimes.
both got robbed...tho chambers fight was slightly closer which is understandable considering he only had one wing
Well, lets talk Germany. They have "heros" that fill arenas. Marco Huck, Arthur Abraham, Felix Sturm. They bring in foreigners to lose. Do Eddie Chambers or Austin Trout have insurmountable advantages fighting in Las Vegas? No, of course not. Would you advise Eddie Chambers to fight Marco Huck in Germany? More likely robbery: Chambers versus Huck in Germany or Chambers versus Huck in Vegas? you do the math.
I like Steve but let's not compare him to Mayweather. Mayweather is undefeated because he WINS fights. He's an expert infighter (including on the ropes), has perhaps the best defense in the sport, quick hands, excellent timing, and probably the best boxing mind in the game. He does not win his fights by clinching & back-pedaling. That's a silly comparison. As I said earlier I like Steve a lot but to suggest that he's in Mayweather's league or does anything even remotely akin to Mayweather is completely absurd. Please see De La Hoya v. Trinidad
I was really let down by Adamek, I've been a fan of his for years and i must say his last 2 outings have been let downs for me I understand he wanted to chase the dream at heavyweight and was willing to give up cruiserweight supremacy to do it but i think he has gone as far as he can I said before the fight Cunningham was done and adamek wins comfortably, well Adamek was slow and sluggish, he doesnt carry the weight well at all he doesnt sit on his punches like he used to and i saw none of the improvements that his camp was talking about, Adamek was quick vs the bigger slower heavies but vs a cruiser like Cunningham he looked slow I couldnt find a way to score it for Adamek even being biased toward him myself, that said i think both are kinda done being a force, well at heavyweight at least cant see Adamek doing much more, maybe if he were manuevered into a Povetkin fight for that sideshow title maybe he can have some form of glory cause he can win that one Cunningham i think is finished, he beat Adamek in my eyes but he didnt look great doing it, he still looks weak on his legs and it appeared to me that if Adamek actually put the punches together he would have gone down, Adamek was too slow and too cautious to capitalize but other top heavies wont
Yea you are correct but your fight with Adamek wasnt a robbery, Adamek rightfully won with you. Cunningham on the other hand deserved the win.
The thing is that Cunningham has a terrible style, kind of like Wladimir Klitschkos only he has zero power (in a post fight interview Adamek said that he didnt feel the punches even when they werent blocked), he back pedals and clinches after he connects with a jab. The judges dont like it, the fans dont like it and therefore might be the victim of bad decisions and this is not the first time it has happened to him.
This is exactly what I mean... pointing to other countries. it doesn't happen here, only over there. Yes Germany is bad, but yes indeed the same goes for the US. Against a foreigner, yes they most certainly have! Chambers vs Huck in Germany would be more likely because I rate Chambers above Huck. The reason you're calling upon Vegas is also probably because robberies aren't as bad there as in other US states, but being a American in the US gives you a big advantage. Just take all the big "could have gone either way" fights in the US with a foreigner involved and then count the number of wins for the foreigner... there aren't too many. Not to mention the clear robberies. I did... did you?
Marco Huck is a star in Germany so if Chambers fights him there then yes there is a high possibility of a robbery. Vice versa is not the case because Chambers is not a star in the USA, but take for instance DeLaHoya and Sturm and you get the idea.
Well, maybe the best way out of this now, is to make the third fight. Let Steve cash in some more - he seems to need it given his family problems. Personally I wish him a win given the robbery (not a huge robbery like some suggest but I agree in principle) in this fight. Not like it's a great fight to be made, both of them don't have a chance vs a Klit anyway but I wish Steve got his revenge. All in all, I think it all 3 of you (Adamek, Cunningham, Chambers) should be competing at CW. It's a kind of shame it's considered some kind of "worse" division. Things can be very exciting at CW these days.
I can't remember how many rounds i scored for Adamek but no way it were more than 4. There needs to be a rematch this was the second gift Adamek has received in a short time and the **** with changing the scores in the last moment makes it even worse
