He wasn't going to knock Adamek out, he couldn't catch the guy and he was starting to get tagged. Might as well give it up annd end the farce.
There is such a thing as a late round stoppage while behind on the cards. I guess he felt he couldn't pull it off.
I doubt bell got paid to quit. The poles didn't have enough money for a decent satelite feed much less paying a fighter to throw a title eliminator. Still, i don't know why bell quit. Unless he has an injury we'll hear about later.
Bell quit because he was getting schooled and knew he would be KO'd in the next round or two. At least now he can blame it on some injury or what not and still land another decent payday, good luck to him.
Adamek didn't do anything that Bell hasn't been through a dozen times before. Very suspicious circumstances.
I don't know why Bell quit but he didn't have it tonight, from the get go. Adamek fought a very good fight though.
Well it was HIS and his corner's decision... but I though he was still in the fight, landing some crisp body shots so he wasn't blown away, just outclassed and was too slow... but his punch is still a great one so I was quite surprised when they decided no to go after the KO...
I should have known better:-( Bell once was able to put his shots together. He should have been able to box a guy like Adamek. Oh..well Bell, the curtain call is near.
