    Surprisingly grant displayed a better chin than Adamek. In rd 3 Grant buckled Adamek with a short right hand. Later in rd 6 Grant had Adamek on ***** street and Adamek was saved by the bell.

    If grant wasnt so clumsy and actually had some accuracy with his jab he would have easily beaten adamek. Grant didnt throw a capable 1-2 all night. He only landed slow leading right hands and had zero behind the jab.

    Couple more thoughts. I am thoroughly unimpressed with Eddie Mustafa Muhammad. I didnt see him giving great advice in the corner and I dont feel Grant has become significantly better under his training.

    My Card was 115-113 Adamek.

    Adamek was certainly underwhelming.

    If Grants had KOd every opponent he would have been the undisputted HW champion now...

    Adamek was just better toninght. I dont like the whining.

    But you loved the idea of whining when Haye failed to knockout the biggest Heavyweight champion in history?

    Adamek was a 1/7 favorite so you should judge his performance relative to the odds

    The worst he has been hurt in his career no doubt.

    But just like after every Adamek fight people always want to bring the 'what if' and not what really is.

    If Steve did this and Arreola did that...etc

    He bet a 6'7 power puncher with a 44 pound weight advantage. I think we all agree that Adamek should avoid the brothers K, but this was a good win, period.

    And most skilled and iron-chinned heavyweight champion in history.

    115-113:patsch

    Grant won 2 rounds. Try watching it without Sheridan's outrageous and always annoying commentary. (That clown makes Max Kellerman look like Howard Cosell.)

    There is no whining here just some observations. I was very disappointed in Eddie Mustafa tonight. That is the 2nd time I have seen him in the corner with guys not living up to their capability. I wonder if he can make it as a trainer.

    My prediction was Adamek by TKO. The only one close to getting KO'D was Adamek.

    From about 7 on he got increasingly bias for Grant culminating in his call of the 10th which Adamek clearly won yet i think he gave to Grant. He stopped after Admaek had a real strong 11th though.

    he also scored rd 6 for Adamek, that was a clear grant rd for me. FFS Adamek was nearly out om his feet.

    I expected much more from Haye. He had been saying before the fight that he will be the first to knock out Valuev, and he was very confident. I was very excited with this talk, becasue I hate Valuev (it started when Holyfield was robbed). Haye failed to do it and won a close decision in a very boring fight. I am still very happy that Haye won, but its not that hard, as Chagaev and 46-yo Holyfield did the same, Chagaev even better.

    There were a couple of exchanges where Adamek landed more punchers and harder punches, but Sheridan was screaming his freaking head off about how great Grant was doing. when he was screaming about Tomasz being in trouble, nothing was landing except some forearms. Sheridan and Wally Matthews are the two worst broadcasters in boxing.

    ADAMEK OUTBOXED GRANT.

    Props to Adamek. Great Win.

    I think a Klitscko KO Adamek though IF they fight.
