    Round 1

    Cunningham is jabbing low and high, staying outside. Cunningham is very tightly coiled, elbows tight at his sides. Adamek is popping out double jabs coming forward. Adamek fades back to slip a Cunningham jab. Adamek inches his way in, looking for the body. Cunningham keeps him out with the high jab. Adamek dives in with a body jab. Cunningham backs up and sucks his stomach in as Adamek misses a 1-1-2 to the body. Adamek is slowly advancing and waving his left arm out, prepping to jab. Cunningham circles to his left, giving Adamek a wide berth. Long jabs by Cunningham. He stuffs it through, past Adamek's gloves. Adamek blasts in as Cunningham leans against a corner, missing a right hand and a left hook, then whiffing with another right.

    Not a lot happened there. Adamek's flurry at the end didn't accomplish anything, but he's going to have success if he can trap Cunningham like that.

    10-9 Cunningham

    Adamek v Cunningham

    1. 10-9 Both fighters having a lot of respect for each other. Adamek landed some body shots, Cunningham a little inactive but very focused. Extremely close round.

    Adamek slowly plucking his way in but as in the last fight he's eating a heavy jab.

    10-9 Cunningham, a little close.

    Round 1
    Cunningham won on his jab alone and defense. Adamek never landed anything but 2 rights to the body clean, Cunningham kept distance with the jab and had a nice hook off his jab on Adamek running in.

    10 - 9 Cunningham

    Tentative round if there ever was one. Steve is using the jab to the body to good effect but it's a dangerous punch to use, if Adamek counters it with a stiff right hook when he's leaning in.

    Can see a brawl breaking out after round 3.

    Freddie Roach gave it 10-9 to Cunningham, and says Adamek was unsuccessful in trying to steal it.

    Flores agrees.

    Adamek isn't very good at cutting the ring off.

    Alright he hasn't beat the Klitschko's or a prime Ali but how much more do you expect from a non titliest?
