    I felt bad for Chambers, but I can see the argument both ways. His problem (well, aside from fighting with one arm :lol:) is he's so negative- and for his ability nothing he does is very flashy. He plods around the ring counter punching now and then but mostly fighting defensively, and the times he does throw punches his shots have little power behind them. Sometimes they are slaps. It's just ugly, and not the sort of decisive boxing that will win him clear rounds. Activity from a fighter can win rounds because judges will make mistakes and score some punches and not others. The more you throw the more that works to your advantage. If you throw 3 punches you can only ever land 3. If you throw 100 that all hit the gloves some of them will be counted anyway

    Having said that, Chambers definitely gave Adamek a boxing lesson. He never looked like the losing fighter and practically never looked uncomfortable, except when he tried his left now and then. It's tough that he goes away with a loss. I wish they'd just scored it a draw

    However you score the fight I think it's apparent that Chambers with two arms beats Adamek without much difficulty, even if it isn't very exciting to watch

    Honestly, it really is looking like one of the weakest cries of robbery ever to me.

    Can anyone produce a ringside card or report that in any way agrees with the robbery cry?
