    and Gunn is a level below journeymann. He is a borderline bum.

    I agree with sho-time for turning down those fights but what is the explanation for fighting Gunn? What about Guilermo, Flores, Afolabi and the tones of other names that Sho-time would have surely accepted.
    they turned down johnson and godfrey so your comment makes no sense. plus he's still going to fight 2 more times at least this year. this is just to stay busy.
    And slow down with the "duck job" comments, wait until you have real proof. he wanted the glen johnson fight bad and anyone who will fight the road warrior is nowhere near a duck

      yeah this really is just a stay-busy fight, nothing wrong with that, plus the guy has been in some hellacious fights recently.

        Yes, and that's why "daggum" and "kswizzy99 the Canadian ******" are so hard on him.

        Daggum sent me a PM yesterday saying he wants white people to become extinct!!!


        People don't understand Gunn is being chosen because he COSTS LESS. They can't afford anyone better without Showtime TV revenue.

            lol, you're the biggest racist in this forum. I don't pick and chose my favorite fighters based on race. you do. you probably still don't know what left hook or southpaw means. but what you do know is the fighters race because thats your ONLY criteria for choosing your favorite fighter.

            you don't like boxing for boxing. lets face it, if there weren't any white ppl in boxing, you wouldn't be a fan.

              read my post again cuz clearly you didn't understand it.

              so what if they turned down godfrey and johnson? there were plenty of other choices he had in an opponent over Gunn. he doesn't get a fight with top competition so he skips the rest of the comp and jumps straight down to face a bum?

              anyways, I still like adamek and I doubt he will continue to face bums. but it is still disappointing that a guy with the cw title is fighting a guy like Gunn.

                it's a moot point because he is still fighting more than anyone else. in the past these types of fights were common between real title defenses. as long as he is keeping a busy schedule.

                i haven't heard what jones and olafabi and flores are doing.

                flores is clearly only fighting club level fighters. he is all talk, look at his opponents so he is eliminated.

                olafabi is the interim beltholder and is the mandatory for ramirez. plus he just fought and isn't the busiest fighter.

                jones has nothing scheduled I think and would be a great fight. i don't think it could be negotiated so quickly because it's a unification. that's abig fight that needs to be built up cuz no one here knows jones

                  So why exactly did Showtime turn down the fight with Godfrey. Damn. You know, I was hoping Wldarczyk would win the fight with Fragomeni so that he and Adamek could have an "all-Polish" showdown, unify the WBC and IBF belt. When will Adamek unify? More importantly, when will Adamek give Cunningham a rematch?

                    Never did hopkins offer Adamek half a mil. The half a mil was an offer to the whole camp, which includes Main Events, Rozalski, the sparring partners, his trainer and Adamek. Tomasz said if HE had been offered half a mil he would take it. The reason Gunn is fighting Adamek is just because of the schedule.

                      Actually, this has cleared up a little bit. Showtime had the money for the godfrey and johnson fight but couldn't do the date. They are all booked up until like november. They could pay the fighters, but not the production costs and the site fees etc.

                      Cunningham has a fight scheduled right now.

                      I would assume that Adamek will be back to defending his title against good competition in his next fight.
