The Mighty Adamek Express!

negative...that wasn't one of the main bouts on the card and the stream coverage started just a couple of hours before cunningham knocked out huck. but honestly, while the Gunn fight (haha, gunfight!) might have been entertaining, i'm not too upset about missing his UD8 over a Croatian punching bag.

 

2 opponents pulled out of the Adamek fight.

First Gunn then they found a replacement with a 24-12 record(or something similar)who also pulled out about a week and a half ago.

Dissapointing opponent but at least he is back in the ring after yet another long layoff.

 

Adamek has to be one of the best in the division, no reason he can't make some noise.

 

That is certainly true.

 

Fight was streamed online after main event and 2 more fight on German TV.

Fight was boring, no action at all, no KOs, poor performance of Adamek. It wasn't late replacement.

 

Adamek is a bad ass dude but he's in the same position that Corrales was in prior to his death. Adamek is a man without a division. I mean seriously, what can he accomplish in a farily deep CW division?

 

As I see it Adamek is a star but Dawson is a superstar. Losing to Dawson was inevitable, nevertheless Adamek certainly gave his best effort, fought to the end and lost like a champion.

 

Anyone see the Adamek fight?

Good to see he logged some rounds in, it seems he was content to just shake the rust off a little tonight.

As to a Dawson rematch, Adamek's chances against Chad definitely go up at Cruiserweight, he did have some weight problems heading into that fight (which is why it was his last time at 175), and still managed to catch Chad in the later rounds.

I would still favour Dawson, however.

 

adamek was workman like only v a small out of shape journyman.

best you could say.

punchs were a bit forced and had either little power or little effect.

adamek was in shape , arms had bulked up a lot, but little snap on his punch`s albeit v a survivor and did not step through the gears to stop his opponent but stayed a little one paced throughout.

 

Sounds like he's a little musclebound then?

The weight is definitely not right for him. It's like a 3 division jump nowadays, from Lightheavy to the new Cruiserweight limit (25 lbs!).

He has to keep his quickness if he wants to make noise in this division. A few more bouts would do, then on to one of the champs (either Macca or Cunningham, with Haye moving up soon).

 

defintaly not the speed or snap of his light heavy days.

he carried the weight well, no excess fat, but it has taken speed of his right hand away .

i would have to look to see if his opponent had a granite chin in his loses or had been stopped before because a top fighter should be putting this type of fighter away.

his opponent was fat and about 5.10

 

just looked julisic had been decked before but never stopped in in his losses
albeit mostly against light heavys.

IMO the light heavy version of adamek is much better and more powerfull.

 

Thanks for the analysis sean. :good

Did you see Adamek's first fight at Cruiser? It was against a much better opponent and Adamek actually looked quite good. He was 198 lbs on the scales, but that was with clothes and and he did not cut any weight (looked to be carrying a little more fat than before).

Now it seems he is regressing again. Inactivity has been the bane of his career, the year long layoff after KOing Ulrich being the worst example. Hopefully with his new license he can string a few tuneups in in the next few months and become Cunnignham's new mandatory.
