    Now don't laugh!:D

    Remember the 1st KD Adamek had over Cunningham? A short, chopping inside right hand that I remember the announcer's saying it was a left hook that did the damage. They didn't even see the punch sitting there watching live. The replay showed it was a right, but even in slow mo, you could barely see it. The thing was a damn blur!

    Now last night, basically the same thing. A short, crisp inside right hand that on replay is still a blur. Adamek doesn't throw those kinda punches all night long, but when the opportunity presents itself, he jumps all over the chance & really hurts people.

    And that shot Banks hit him with moments before he himself was KO'ed would have killed a horse. Adamek barely blinked.

    Granite chin + blockbuster punches + heart of a lion + decent human being = TOMASZ ADAMEK!

    :good

    No he doesnt.

    That short right is a thing of beauty though.

    A very sneaky puncher with good timing. Fast hands - for a cruiser, definitely.

    I know that. I said he doesn't cut loose like that all night long, but when he does, I'd like to have a radar gun on that right hand!

    Sneaky puncher??? You could say that...

    Ring smarts & a natural fighter would be another way to describe him.

    It's not his hand speed, it's his timing.

    That's exactly what I'm thinking -- he gets in the perfect counter at the perfect time. It worked well for him against Briggs, and almost worked in his fight against Bad Chad. Cunningham felt it too, a few times.

    No way in hell! Sorry Jet, I don't see it.

    He is above average, that's it. Not even exceptionally fast.

    See the Dawson fight for proof. Although he was badly weight drained and not himself that fight, it did show that Dawson has clearly faster hands.

    He's quick fisted but no where near the fastest,as others have said he's got great timing and he's sudden in his delivery.A quality fighter.

    He throws shorter punches, so it creates the illusion that his hands are faster.
