Adamek Defeats Cunningham, Scoring Mishap Too
By David P. Greisman - BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Steve Cunningham put forth the kind of performance that should have earned him long-awaited revenge in his long-anticipated rematch with Tomasz Adamek. Should have. Cunningham out-boxed and out-landed Adamek for the better part of 12 rounds. Only one judge saw it that way. The other two judges, however, somehow saw Adamek the winner, awarding him seven rounds on one scorecard and eight rounds on the other and giving him a controversial split decision victory. Deborah Barnes and Dave Greer had it 115-113 and 116-112, respectively, for Adamek, with the dissenting vote from Tom Miller reading 115-113 for Cunningham. Their first fight had ended in a split decision as well, though not with anywhere near as much controversy. Four years ago, Adamek had knocked Cunningham down three times over the course of their 12-round bout, those knockdowns proving to be the margin of victory That bout had taken place at cruiserweight. Four years later, Adamek and Cunningham met at heavyweight, with Adamek tipping the scales at 223 pounds and Cunningham coming in at 203.5. The question going into the bout was what difference the weigh difference would make — whether Adamek, who had been at heavyweight for more than three years, could use his additional 20 pounds to hurt Cunningham even worse than he had when both had been at cruiserweight.
