    I dont know but cunningham has a right to cry after yesterdays fight. We talk about him being robbed of a fight which he clearly deserved, its more than that to him. Its fufture fights to earn a good living he got robbed from

    Outside of the ring Cunningham is probably my favorite active fighter. He's just one hell of a cool dude. And he's real on top of that. He'll tell you in a second that men cry and I don't hold it against him for crying after his loss yesterday. That being said I can certainly see how Adamek was awarded the fight. You can't backpedal the whole night and expect to receive the nod. Cunningham fought in spurts, impressive ones but spurts nonetheless. If Cunningham had made a concerted effort to assert himself throughout the course of each round - instead of backpedaling and running - he would have come out the victor.


    See: De La Hoya v. Trinidad (and DK Promotions)

    If anything it was Adamek who was fighting in spurts mainly in the last 10 - 20 of the yet would get outboxed before that.

    When Cunningham was boxing on the outside he would land his hard jab an straight right hand, it not like he moved back an didn't punch. You should lpse points for outboxing someome andyou shouldn't gain points for simply moving forward and being aggressive.

    Cunningham was killing adamek with Jabs the whole fight. An people say Adamek landed the harder shots? No he didnt he was missing everything with that predictable right hand. Looked gassed after the 6th round. Cunningham had adamek backing up an snapped his head back multiple times throughout the fight.

    americans dont do geography...a state twice the size of england.......

    like you americans say when you get defensive of never going abroad ''each state is like a massive european country, going from michigan to new york is like travelling across europe''

    ....does that saying not apply here or only when it suits?
