Adamek Beats Cunningham, Claims IBF Title in a Classic

[Steelhammer2K9]

LOL he went undefeated and he's drained once he loses?

Everyone knows that Adamek was completely weight drained for his fight against Dawson. He was killing himself to make 175.

Adamek was completely weight drained and very sick for that fight against Dawson

Adamek would easily KO Dawson at cruiserweight

have you ever not believed a boxers excuse after he loses?

[El Jesus]

They must be loving that fight over on castefootball hey?

lol "return of the white champion"

[Davros?]

I have said for the last few years that cruiserweight is the most exciting of the higher weight divisions, in the past few years we have had, Mormeck vs Braithwaite, Mormeck vs Bell 1 and 2, Haye vs Fragomeni, Haye vs Mormeck, Toney vs Jirov. Cruiserweight puts heavyweight to shame.

Thsi fight card was probably Versus best card to date. This fight should go down with classics like Qawi-Holyfield I. I personally had Cunningham winning the fight with scores of 113-112, but I thought it was a close fight. Both guys are class acts, and I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch, though perhaps not an immediate one. Adamek did not disappoint, and while he did get knocked down 3 times, neither did Cunningham, and he's got nothing to be ashamed of. Maybe Cunningham could fight new WBA belt holder Guillermo Jones, while Adamek deals with new WBC champ Giacobbe Fragomeni, and then they can fight again. The only low part of the event was the announcer, though I agree with him that this could be the "Fight of the Year". The cruiserweights shouldn't be getting any disrespect after all Holyfield, Bell, Mormeck and Haye have accomplished, and this fight might be the key to the weight getting some serious attention, finally.

great fight, but Cunningham is so dumb..he was clearly the much better boxer, but had no brain...he chose to fight Adamek's fight for about 11 of the 12 rounds...

Lol Cunn was a better boxer? Are you serious? This guy didnt do even 1 good jab in 12 round! How the fuc# he can be better fighter if he can use his hight advantage? He is just average fighter, we have better cruisers in Europe, trust me.

I personally had Cunningham winning the fight with scores of 113-112

HOW??????
Cunningham was knocked down 3 times man! You know what that means?? That's right, -3 points ! Cunningham needed to win more rounds than Adamek but he didnt. He was -3 and he not dominated the fight so how he can won this one?
Yall stupid if Ya hink Cunningham should win. He KISSED FLOOR 3 TIMES! ITS -3 POINTS! GROW UP AND LEARN HOW TO JUDGE!

[Ian_ST24i]

What a great fight this was. It'd be mistake for chad to fight this man again. Adamek would hammer him.

Very close fight, looking forward to the rematch. I still think Cunningham can beat Haye and will probably win the rematch, unless he goes another year without fighting.

[EnderTKD]

it was 115-110 for Adamek. you live in cloud cuckoo land homie, Adamek was better. You cant win the tittle bout being 3 times on the floor and not KO your oponent. and some rounds were dead even. So you give even rounds to Cunningham? Ridiculous! . But he didnt nothin in this figth, just run across the ring and was knockdowned 3 times. He only hurt Adamek in round 4, thats all.
