    Cunningham would win whenever fight was fought on the outside and Goral on the inside, but Goral was getting rocked with many clean shots by USS he's lucky he was heavier than Cunningham and he's lucky USS never followed thru. A draw was fair I think or USS by one point.

    The fight wasn't closley fought.
    The best you could do for Adamek was give him maybe 2 rounds out of 12, in which he never knocked Cunningham down.

    The fight was about as one sided as you can get, just like the Chambers fight. Not close at all and anything but a UD win for Cunningham has to be looked at under extreme suspicion.

    Complete whitewashing by Cunningham. Biggest robbery i've seen all year with my own two eyes (missed Abril-Rios, and i had Pac beating Bradley by only 1 round).

    It's a struggle to find even 2 rounds to give to Adamek in this fight... Unless you completely toss out Boxing's official set scoring criteria and replace it with your own made up scoring criteria. Or chose to score the fight while adhering to the Harold Lederman philosophy of scoring boxing matches. Where all you have to do is walk forward and be the "busier fighter" and this somehow nets you rounds, regardless of whether or not punches land on a scoring area :patsch. The hell with effective aggression, ring generalship, clean/hard punching & Defense.

    It's almost like a large swathe of so called boxing fans (and judges apparently) want to take the boxing...out of boxing. As long as it benefits whatever particular fighter they've chosen to nutthugg.

    You could walk forward and throw 0 punches and at worst Harold Ledderman would score the fight a draw because you were walking forward.

    He's the king at scoring in favor of ineffective agression.

    These Adamek fanboys are embarrassing. Blaming Cunningham for getting robbed.

    Many other people? Don't talk shite.

    Here's a collection of media and fans scoring, 98 different score cards and who they had winning. Who are these 'many' people who had Adamek winning?

    TOTAL - (98), CUNNINGHAM (85), ADAMEK (9), DRAW (4)

    Press row was dominated by people who felt Cunningham won.

    P.S. Don't cite Harold Lederman for credibility.

    I didn't see the fight yet but it sounds to me like a rematch is in order.

    Do you actually watch anyone that isnt of Polish descent? It called controlling the pace of the fight, Cunningham was very effective at shutting down Adamek's opportunities to trap him on the ropes, it nearly shut down Adameks offence altogether. It was a good tactic and Cunningham followed the gameplan very well, i suggest you watch more boxing before calling it running, im afraid sir you know sweet **** all.:good

    Cunningham landed more of the clear clean punches. Adamek was following and trying to get set too long. I thought he clearly won, andI would like to hear the judges explanation...

    Close fight with Cunningham winning the first few and Adamek winning the last few. Adamek was the aggressor, but Cunningham landed cleaner shots. Cunningham never even stunned Adamek, while you can tell Cunningham was feeling Adameks shot.

    I scored it a draw or Cunningham winning by a round. Definitely don't think 116-112 for Adamek was legit, that's crazy. This is coming from a big Adamek fan but I call it like I see it.

    Cunningham must really punch like a ***** because he was hitting adamek with flush rights all night that didn't do anything
