        in the WBO alekseev and Banks are #1 and 2

        are they going to fight for the title?

        i can't wait for alekseev to get into the mix with the tops of the division, it's way early in his career but i think he is ready

          Versus is the ****!!!!

          I've been a fan of the network since they have been putting some big money into boxing, too bad Arum ****ed them and the fans over with **** cards for 2 years. I hope people tune in so they can get good ratings and keep investing in boxing, I thought Adamek won because those 3 kd's are so hard to come back from.

              He needs to learn how to defend himself against Adamek's combinations when his back is against the ropes too. Too often he would get into the corner or against the ropes and Adamek would strafe him with hard punches. Steve backed straight up a little too much in that fight as well.

              Adamek will be a tough fight for anyone though. He is as solid as they come. Good power, great chin, a lot of heart, he punches well in combination and works off the jab. this was a fight where I was happy with either guy winning.

                I think Cunningham should back Adamek up with his jab if they have a rematch, he was doing much better when he was backing Adamek up, and he's got to keep his left hand higher, that low left hand got him in trouble all night, he needs to put more snap in his jab as well, a lot of those jabs were just backhands and he shouldn't try to trade with Adamek, as they said on the telecast, Adamek eats jabs all night, he doesn't do much head movement, his right glove is stuck to the side of his face, his left hand is low, his chin is high, he can get jabbed all night but he just kept walking through those backhand jabs of Cunningham.

                  One thing i also noticed was that he kept on switching to southpaw which had no effect on Adamek.

                    He didn't do much out of the southpaw stance anyway, I think it was just to give Adamek a different look and to try and confuse him, no point in doing that really when you aren't going to do anything out of the stance.

                      I also noticed that Cunningham was having the most success when he was doubling up that jab, throwing it a little harder, and then coming with the right hand after it. When he would use that to back up Adamek it was working, especially when he threw a few of those 1-2's in succession.

                      Mad you're right about the southpaw ****. It served no purpose and didn't fool Adamek one bit. I thought it was alright early, just to try and give Adamek a different look, but he just kept on doing it. He's gotta cut that **** out next time they fight (if they fight again).
