Adamek/Cunningham: Remember This?

Yeah, I do. A late FOTY candidate that year, I'm a big Cunningham fan and it's a shame there wasn't a rematch(not Adamek's fault, c'mon HBO shell out the dough!)

 

I age watching my favorite fighters in fights like this.

Definetly was worthy of a candidate for FOTY.

 

Great fight IMO FOTY for that year. Damn shame there was never a rematch.

 

I think the only reason it gets overlooked is because it was a cruiserweight fight. Great, great fight.

 

if you thought cunningham won every round he didn't get dropped in, you must be mad.

it was a brilliant fight that kept going back and forth, with the greater damage done by adamek giving him the edge.

 

One of the best fights in the last years. Very rare to see so much action at 200 pounds.

The fight even without knockdowns was close. I think that it was a split decision, because Cunningham was defending and I noticed that in championship fights often one judge scores all the close rounds to the champion. Since this fight I started being a fan of Cunningham. I hope that there will be a USS/Diablo III for WBC and IBF and The Ring belts

Great fight, I had Adamek by only 2 points.

Steve definitely earned a rematch, as well as the respect of the nation in that fight.

It's really too bad we didn't see a second fight.

 

why did you show such a bias highlight.....you tit..?

 

i've seen it like 20 times , true story , but only beacuse they re replaying it on Polsat sport every week and i am studying with the telly turned on on that channel. Great fight but if we talk about underrated bouts, I would say: adamek wars with Pul briggs two of the best of the decade yet not many even seen them.

P.s i thought it was very close without the kds, no way it should be sd with them imo, also in the official punchstats if anybody cares adamek actually landed more powerpunches. With cunninghum landing like 20 puncher more overall.

 

Yep. To be honest I think the cruiserweight division has some considerable talent, it's just usually mostly European so it's no big deal stateside(especially with Don King attempting to ruin Cunningham's career, and BJ Flores flushing his career down the toilet).

And I think it's still a good idea, cause as you mention...I can't imagine the thought of any of these guys wanting a piece of the Klitschko brothers at Heavyweight (and yes, I do think Haye would lose to them too).
