Caught him flush on the chin, even prime he'd be in trouble. Molina isn't terrible, he did go life and death with Beyonce and is the natural hw, so it's no shock for me.
Bad stoppage in my opinion, ref could've let that go on as it was already after the bell and Adamek managed to get up, and up on the scorecards afaik.
He had all the time in the world to recover before next round. I've seen O'Connors of the world carrying fighters into the corner and guys completely out after the bell being waken up by their seconds so a little bending of the rules wouldn't be so bad.
Best of luck to the guy, he had a great career. Sad for him to go out on a highlight reel type KO like that
Adamek had the heart of a warrior but he's been shot awhile now. Reason he already retired once before. Sad to see him go.
Only time Adamek has been ko'd. He was still standing against Vitali. Adamek was my favorite fighter for a few years man. Thanks for the great memories Thomasz. Congratulations to Molina for a great win. Adamek caught all of that vicious right hand. He was coming towards Molina and was tagged with a quick powerful shot. The ref did his job perfectly. I hope Thomasz is ok. Adamek is one tough dude and belongs in the Hall of Fame.
What does Molina do from here..... He gave mad props to Don King... Not so long ago he was itching to be done with his contract from King Promotions. Either way South Texas is Proud of their fighter.
Adamek is another boxer that didn't know when to retire. He's already some 3-4 years late. Great career though, it's amazing what he managed to achieve starting as a light heavyweight. Always the much smaller man in the ring, and not with an elusive style. A real warrior
