    10-9 Adamek.
    But I admit I could be wrong.
    I just think that 10-8 neglects all of the work Cunningham did prior to getting dropped.

    Wish you had made this a poll, as I'm curious. No way should that have been a 10-8 round for Cunningham without the knockdown, IMO. Rounds 7 of DLH-Pac....now THAT was a 10-8 round that had no knockdowns.

    If you knock your opponent down, you deserve the 10-8, despite the fact you were losing the round before the KD.. so thats how I scored it.. 10-8 Adamek

    Plus, Cunningham slowed down considerably in that final minute.

    True. I had it a 10-8 round as well. In order to get a 10-8 round with no knockdown, Cunningham would have had to dominate the whole thing- not just to the point up to where he was floored. Adamek won the last minute as well as scoring the KD.

    Why? Cunningham was not that dominant in the round. Yes, he was kicking ass throughout most of the first 2/3, but it never really appeared Adamek was in serious trouble of going down. Then Cunningham slowed down, winded, and Adamek caught up with him landing the best punch of the round.

    Now, if he was getting his ass kicked the way DLH was in round 7 of the Pacquiao fight, I would see your point. But in no way was Cunningham THAT dominant in that round.

    I concede, this is subjective, and it is a matter of opinion in terms of scoring, but in this instance, I definitely thought Adamek deserved 10-8.
