    Great fight, maybe for the ring belt?

    Great fight, the #1 and #2 in the division going head-to-head.

    Will be for the Ring title.

    If it's in Newark, I might try to make it out there.

    Any word on whether Versus will pick it up? Presumably that's why they scheduled it on a Thursday....

    Yup, that's the plan. Dan Rafael and Steve Kim both said it's probably gonna end up on Versus.

    Probably go to this one. Got to add Adamek to my list of favorite fighters seen in the ring for a title fight. Should be a wild one. Adamek will be on his toes & landing the cleaner punches & staying out of harms way when Cunn advances. TA will fight a smart fight & take this cruiser title.

    Who's that other huge Polish heavyweight that was fighting on the espn card a few months ago. That guy was a freaking huge. He was slow as hell, but he was a freaking monster.

    Not if Steve fights the way he did against Wlodarczyk. Then again, Adamek could pull off a Dawson. If both come in to fight, a lot will depend on whether Adamek can get inside and overcome Cunningham's speed. I think Steve's chin will be tested in this one. To me, Adamek somehow looks more than one dimensional ever since going up to cruiser.

    That would be Mariusz Wach. But he's too timid right now. As it stands, he won't get very far even in this crappy division. Still, him and Valuev would make an interesting fight.

    Yeah the guy looked painfully slow. It makes you appreciate guys like Klitschko and Lewis even more, when you see how clumsy some of the other big fighters are.
