    I won't stfu. You are the one being clueless, your talks display your total lack of boxing knowledge. Your arguments are pathetic.

    Not a Pulev fan but Adamek did duck him......and his resume over the last 2 yrs is better than Adameks......

    as for the Thompson fight ......yeah Pulev did little over the first 3 rds......but Thompson did less.

    EZ WORK FOR A REAL CHALLENGER

    Thompson can win rounds against anybody, especially when he's the bigger guy.

    Pulev did enough to show that Adamek and Jennings were right to avoid him. Pulev is the big favorite in either of those match-ups.

    Hard to believe Jennings would turn down a shot at Adamek and 25% of the purse. That's a big pay-day and a bigger opportunity.

    Maybe the problem is Jennings doesn't want to risk losing the 0. Better boxers than him were robbed vrs. Adamek.

    Theres a difference between rising prospect, and rising 'star'.

    As of right now, calling Jennings a rising star is way off base. The dude has practically no fanbase. He could very well turn out to be a star, but hes not 'one in the making' right now. If anything, that's Wilder (how ever misplaced that might be)

    He should feel lucky if he got 60/40 against Adamek.

    These kind of career moves will cost him..... he would have beaten adamek and then he would have raised his stock bigtime. Instead its possible he sidetracks yet another meaningful fight for him.

    Hopefully they get this figured out and the fight happens, would be a coming out party for Jennings.

    Jennings is a bit confused right now. Believe me, he WANTED the HBO televised fight with Adamek. Check what he's saying on his twitter - I feel sorry for him.

    It had to do with Bryant's manager James Prince demanding 50% of the revenue for the Adamek fight, including the Polish TV revenue.

    That's the same James Prince who had the incident at Mayweather's boxing gym in 2003. Remember Leonard Ellerbe and another Mayweather associate were beaten up and hospitalized?

    yeah, because the Polish fans would come to the fight to cheer on Jennings :lol:

    this guy's manager needs a reality check, he is ruining his fighter's career by making such unrealistic demands, hell, if Jennings fought Adamek, most casual fans in Poland wouldn't even know who Jennings is

    Seems that Adameks mgr AGREED to half the dough b/c Jennings mgr got the tv deal through before KD did.

    Now it's HER, Adamek pimp, who is trying to take back the arrangement made between Jennings mgr and Adameks mgr.

    So if anyone is pulling out, it's Adamek.:deal:deal:deal

    If Ziggy agreed to 50/50 including Polish TV than Adamek should fire him and be glad Duva has some common sense.

    It sounds like it was assumed that the Polish money was Adamek's and they'd split the U.S. portion. Prince had other ideas, then Duva rightfully nixed it.

    That would've been the perfect fight for Jennings. Short end money vs Adamek is still a nice payday for him, and more importantly, he came with a high ranking that's beyond his current H2H ability.

    I feel sorry for Jennings if Prince's greed stopped him from getting the opportunity.

    it seems, according to Jennings, his long term finances and health are more important (than his becoming a great fighter.:rofl:rofl:rofl)
