I was there live and thought it was worth it, even beyond the atmosphere. None of the fights were spectacular, but the two main events were both pretty decent fights. Adamek-Grant was much better than it had any right to be.
I noticed the auditorium was pretty full during the under card. A lot of times people only show up for the main event.
adamek didnt look impressive against grant but as far as I remember Haye was running out of valuew? adamek actually tried to fight, not only running, comming in, land a single punch then runaway adamek tried to land punches and combinations so dont be so sure
He was moving forward to beat the bigger guy :good You must be very self-confident to put such a pressure on the giant. Yet, there is a space to improve his boxing.
They were watching the fight. Professional boxing is scored as follows: Clean Punching Effective Aggression Ring Generalship Defense
I just watched the fight online (tho was a little distracted) and no that fight was close. grant landed the more effective shots and had him stunned several times in that fight. Plus Adamek wasn't doing effective aggreesion either b/c he was backpedaling, circling, then jumping in and often tiems getting countered. You Adamek fans are in denial if you don't thnk the fight was close
Either way, fight was at least close. And all pro fight scoring at least considers effectiveness. How else would Hopkins-cal been an SD? Joe must've outlanded him 3:1.
I know what effective aggressiveness means. Talking about punches and I'm telling you they consider the effectiveness of the punches too whether it's specifically cited in rules or not. And even if in this fight you were only factoring "clean punches" the fight was still close
Adamek dominated in all 4 departments... clean punching, effective aggression, ring generalship and defense. Therefore, the fight was not very close.
