BJ Flores is one of the worst commentators

He expressed, live, the opinions that well over 3/4 of the posters here agree with.

Not bias. Especially considering that Glazkov, not Scott, was being hyped on these forums. And while Chambers has become a liked fighter on ESB since he joined, it is not as though there was any sort of lingering fanbase or overall blind support before that fight which would indicate keyboard warriors saying it different than they feel.

 

i've been watching and scoring fights for well over 30 yrs. i think i know a thing or two about a thing or two.

 

I thought Flores did a good job unlike the judges. Chambers schooled Adamek with one arm, outlanded Adamek in 9 of 12 rounds. What criteria did you use to score rounds for Adamek ? Clean punching was done by Chambers. Defense, Ring Generalship, easily by Chambers. The only thing Adamek did was being busy, but he wasn´t effective so you can not even score effective aggressivenes for him. Imo that was just a stupid fight by Adamek. Chambers fought with one arm for 9 rounds and Adamek simply wasn´t able to take advantage of that. You have to doubt his intelligence.

 

Not to mention, Eddie only joined up here in December of 2012...six months after he fought Adamek.

 

shows there are different horses for different courses.

Think Flores is terrific. Knows the game inside out, articulate -- NEVER repeats himself, saying the same thing ad nauseam. His interviews are about the subject, not himself. Can read a teleprompter without flubbing 'n not be thrown by the director in his ear piece.

First rate analyst/broadcaster

 

@andrewa1 - Just curious, based on what did you score the rounds for Adamek against Chambers, when scoring criteria should be
1. Clean Punching
2. Effective Aggressiveness (Note: EFFECTIVE!!!)
3. Ring Generalship
4. Defense

Chambers outlanded Adamek in 9 of 12 rounds. Off course Adamek was busier, but when you don´t land ****, how can the judges score it for you. You cannot call that: effective. Clean punching was clearly in favour of Chambers almost every round. Same with Defense and ring generalship (how can you count that for Adamek, when he wasn´t able to take advantage of Chambers injury, just stupid)

I just do not see how one can score that fight for Adamek, besides being Polish or a huge Adamek fanboy. Adamek was schooled by one armed fighter, a very good one armed fighter though, props to Chambers.

 

adamek keeps getting gift after gift and now mainevents and nbc are bringing him back to headline again!?!?!? they should be ashamed of themselves. the bull**** commission that is making this happen should be disbanded.

 

i most absolutely dislike Flores as a commentator :bart

 

are you polish?

 

totally agree.

 

@andrewa1

Just curious why you think Adamek punched way harder than Chambers, i could not agree. Chambers definately landed the cleaner shots and Adamek wasn´t the aggressor the whole night. Being busy is no criteria for the judges to score. Effective aggresiveness is, but you can hardly call Adamek effective in most of the rounds. In fact Chambers was very effective with his punches and it wasn´t that he countered all night. At times he was aggressive too and he was very effective then. Ring generalship also includes some kind of ring intelligence. Now if a boxer is fighting an one armed opponent and it was obvious that Chambers didn´t use his left hand and this boxer still is a sucker for this hand the whole night, i strongly doubt his ring intelligence. Imo that was just a stupid fight by Adamek and he got helped by the judges (he probably knew before the fight, that he could not lose a decision).

As for Ali-Young, don´t know what it has to do with Chambers-Adamek and Scott-Glazkov, i felt Young won though.
