How Did Dawson Beat Adamek???

[turdleburgle]

adamek is overrated.he's a sloppy boxer that has done fairly decent at heavyweight due to the lack of genuine talent.

[-EX-]

I don't think Adamek is that good...well he's good compared to the lackluster heavyweight division...

Because Froch is actually an excellent fighter, regardless of the **** he gets. No won has been able to dominate Froch. In fact, I think most would agree that Froch has never definitively lost, and he's fought some tough, tough bastards.

I thought Froch clearly lost to Direll, and had Kessler winning a close but clear one.

Adamek was obviously weight drained as evidenced by his subsequent move out of that division.

Dawson would stand no chance against Adamek at CW or HW.

Thats a fact.

The better question is "what was Dawson doing tonight"? The Dawson that showed up against Pascal isn't the usual. As much as he lost respect after the fight, the fact is he is a much better fighter then we saw tonight and he's proved that before. Seems like he got too caught up in his own hype and thought he was coming into a walk in the park and played right into Pascal's game plan. We'll find out which Dawson is the real one when the rematch happens.

I had Dirrell by a point and Kessler by two, each man winning 7-5 over Carl. You can make the arguement though that Carl has never clearly lost.

Adamek stepped up in weight and down in quality of opposition. Bell and Cunnigham were good fighters but not as good as Dawson. That's a fact. Chris Arreola and Michael Grant? Really?

O'Neil Bell, Steve Cunningham, Jon Banks, Cris Arreola...that's a pretty decent list of wins.

cunningham got knocked down three times and arguably still beat adamek.cunningham outclassed adamek but the knockdowns made it close.



adamek just isnt that good.

Interesting, very good point. Pascal has great speed. It's interesting how Froch seems to be able to work around being the slower man much of the time.

Also factor that was a step up fight for Pascal on hostile turf and Froch is just a savage in there.
