Looked like he just quit.

Wasnt in shape and didnt want it.

**Texanballer** · 04-19-2008, 05:50 PM

he will probably retire, or fight 2 years from now

Bell quit like a dog. He's always been an overrated piece of crap. He wasn't even hurt, just didn't have the heart to fight from behind.

yes bells been off for over a year. and he did a wierd disappearing act after having girlfriend and cop problems a while back.

Bell is done. Adamek fought Briggs the first time with a broken nose before the fight.

He wanted it. He got it. And interestingly enough, he's a light heavy but had 2 more cruiserweight fights in the past year than Bell did.

Adamek isn't the best, but he gives his best. Dawson was shellacking him but Adamek found a way to at least drop him late.

At least Adamek is a fighter, whatever his weaknesses may be.

Pitiful stoppage. HE is the one that stopped the fight not his corner.

His head cornerman was begging him to go back out and fight but Bell Sternly told him that he didnt wanna continue. He wasn't gonna win anyway, but to not give it your best is wrong, especially at this level.

Adamek looks great though. Very smooth and slick and very strong for the weight class. I thought Bell was gonna be HUUUUGE in comparison to Adamek, but Adamek was actually a little bigger.

LETS ALL PRAY that CUNNINGHAM-ADAMEK gets a TV spot, cause thats a VERY interesting fight

adameks eurostyle worrys me if and when he faces someone that has good footwork

Bell caught Adamek with some clean shots, and they didn't seem to phase him in the slightest. I guess he saw he couldn't win a decision and a knockout was looking impossible. Not the kind of one sided beatdown that you usually see someone quit from (when they're not injured in some way.)

When was the last time you saw a worldclass boxer quit like this? It's gotta be more to this story...I'd like to hear what Bell has to say. Is Bell the CW version of Golota?

Innactivity is a mother****er. Bell did alot of things wrong. Primarily he unveiled the fully loaded right hand, his best weapon, almost immediately. He looked pretty decent though all things considered. Adamek wasn't going to be denied, but Bell could have turned it all around with his signature move later in the fight. O'Neill's body punching was completely wearing Adamek down, and I was worried about it as someone betting on the kid from Poland.
