    Please find that quote. I have never said that in my life. Adamek struggled with Briggs of all people. It was obvious he was not a world class fighter...

          That was a very good fight. I enjoyed it immensley.

          What heart adamek showed. That wad incredible.

          As the fight went on, you could see the oppurtunity for the short right hand to land, but after brilliant combinations from dawson you thought it was impossible.

          That was great stuff down the stretch. Round 10 and 11 were FOTY stuff. wow

            Adamek looked baffled by Dawson's southpaw stance and maybe even the slight reach disadvantage. He kept trying to lead with a straight left only to eat right jabs in the process. That's why he couldn't get **** off. Adamek was trying to build everything off the left for some reason and it just wasn't happening. I hope Adamek works on on his game more and comes back, hell, he nearly stole this one.

              Adamek was not exposed, Sin, you eternal dip****. He just came up short vs a good southpaw fighter, as many fighters do. Southpaws are a ***** to fight even with average skill...much less Dawson's skill level.

              Struggling with Briggs is no big deal. Briggs brings a lot of pain and is a top 7 175er.

                i really liked this fight, and on my point of view i think adamek didnt throw too many punches because dawson didnt let him. every time he threw something it was quickly returned. well, that my newbie point of view =P.
                i really wanted that dawson ko adamek, but well, he fought really well and i think he can still improve very much.

                  No, that is the RIGHT point of view.
                  The newbie/****** point of view is that he threw the fight.

                      Every single day we go through the same bull****.

                      You never take into consideration that styles make fights.
