Versus Championship Boxing Tonight!!

The fight was close, every round that Adamek knocked down Cunningham, Cunningham was either dominating or decisively winning before said KD.

Cunningham still deserved to lose, he kept trading even though he knew he wouldnt be able to make Adamek taste canvas himself.

Lets see a rematch.

 

I scored it a draw. Cunningham won most of the rounds. The only difference in the fight were the 3 knockdowns. Cunningham won the final 3-4 rounds.

 

It seems just that the judge who scored fight for Cunningham didn't seen the knockdowns ... its simple.

 

The best judge money can buy?

 

Not clearly and indisputably he didn't.

Many scored the 11th for Adamek. It seemed close because so much leather bounced off his face but viewed in context that doesn't earn Cunningham the round, as Adamek completely reversed his fortunes from the 10th round, rendering Steve's jab irrelevant, coming forward letting his hands go and landing quite a bit.

 

I had the 11th for Adamek as well. Fairly close fight. Cunningham, as Matthews pointed out, is not really a great boxer and does not "fight tall". He spreads his legs and has the left out like some 1970's East German fighter. That's not going to really cut it. Adamek can still work on things as well and should get a new trainer. His punches are nice and short, but he needs to let them go more, and he needs to do whatever drills it takes to get a little head movement, like Hatton was able to do working with Floyd, Sr. He has a great chin but why take so many shots?

But a pretty decent card, that was better than many HBO BAD or Showtime cards.

 

Good call...if guys like Hatton and Pacquiao can learn to slip and defend a little better, there's no reason Adamek can't.

 

Agreed... walking forward without throwing punches is not "Aggression" as the commentators were trying to make it seem.

 

He was excessively economical at times, but I don't think he went a minute of any round without throwing something.

On the other end, Cunningham throwing a flashy triple jab is all well and fine but when two of them catch air it ought not earn any extra points.

 

Great fight just like I thought it would be one of the best of the year. Shame on HBO or SHowtime for not putting this on. I scored it a draw but Adamek winning is fine. I can't wait for the rematch.

 

That's one of the best fights i've seen in a while. Starting from the 2nd round on, you got the sense that either fighter could be KD. That's excitement.
