    Dude did you even see that fight? Adamek had USS all over the ring. Three solid KDs in three separate rounds. And make no mistake about it: Going into that fight Cunningham was the man at CW and was a heavy favourite to win that fight. Adamek was considered too slow and unskilled for Steve and yet he matched him punch for punch, but with heavier and better timed artillery. What else is new for Adamek?

    Doesn't sound like his promoter here: "We are not ready to officially announce the Tomasz Adamek (47-2, 29 KOs) - Odlanier Solis (18-1, 12 KO) blockbuster fight on December 22 yet, but we are we very close to doing so. There's agreement in place about the money, site and date of the fight with Ahmet Oner, Odlanier Solis promoter."

    So far she is the only one saying there was an agreement in place that Oner backed out of. Last night people were saying it was OK for Adamek to back out cuz he hadn't signed the contract yet. Now it is back on Solis because she says so?

    Read her quote again and bear in mind she represents both Adamek and Solis:

    Solis failed to sign the contract and team Adamek decided to move on. What part of that don't you understand?

    And honestly, when it comes down to he said she said, are you willing to go with Ohner's words over Duvas, who promotes both fighters?

    We are hearing one side of the story. What don't you understand? Even if they agreed to terms it would be far from the first time the contract sent was not the terms agreed too. Again, she says Oner is the promoter, not her so why is she considered to be speaking for Oner?

    Duva promotes both fighters, so we are actually hearing from both sides here. Why would Duva misrepresent her own client who is paying her? Are you actually saying you're waiting to hear the spin from that small time, reputed slimeball of a Turkish snake? We all know some bs is going to spew out of his mouth.

    Then why did she specifically say Oner is the promoter and she was working through him? Can't have this both ways.

    The first fight was a classic, been waiting to see this for apparently 4 years. And stoked for this on NBC.

    People are forgetting Steve although being dropped mulitple times also hurt Adamek too and was outboxing for long periods.

    Great fight to see, can Adamek ko Cunningham, can Cunningham outbox Adamek.

    Can't not be great. I may skip Saturdays card in Brklyn to get a better seat for this one.

    Not sure what really happened with Solis and his team on this but he isn't helping his career lately. Not sure where he goes from here.

    I think Adamek-Solis was a more important fight since both guys are top 10 heavyweights but Adamek-Cunningham is a much better fight and should be good.

    I think Adamek wins, he won the first fight and has a lot more experience at the weight. I would have liked to seen Cunningham win one or even two more fights as a heavy before the rematch but its still a good fight to happen. Adamek-Solis may have bored potential fans away where Adamek-Cunningham should win new ones over.

    The first fight was an overlooked gem. I'm glad to see NBC making an effort in boxing. Obviously there will be plenty of football (American) and holiday programming on against the broadcast, so I hope they are realistic about their ratings hopes.
