    so why did Haye go down? not off a lucky punch. because Thompson was beating the **** out of him until his glass chin turned into dust.

      Yes Sir I watched the fight and I didn't see any point where Adamek nearly got knocked out twice. In fact I don't recall him ever being knocked down.

      Those are pretty wide margins to say he struggled with Grant. Grant caught him with a couple of good shots and he's a big guy who can punch. It's all part of the sport.

      Arreola is a tougher fight than Grant and Adamek beat him as well.

        You must have had selective vision because Ademak got hurt in the sixth, was nearly out in the 12th. That's not even debatable. Ademak clearly won the decision but he was badly hurt, and cut. Those are problems and red flags against a shot opponent no matter how you spin it. It also shows how little chance he has against Wladimir Klitschko. And lets not pretend that Ademak dominated Arreola. It was very close.

          Adamek barely beat Arreola.
          and Thompson is better than Arreola.

            I'm trying to spin anything, you're saying he struggled and yet he won almost every round. OK he got hurt, I'm not debating that. It happens, it's boxing. He still won a landslide unanimous decision and he DID beat Arreola, I don't care how close it was, he won the fight. I don't know how not even hitting the canvas is considered "almost being knocked out". You can't convince me that is the case.

              Thompson is a good fighter - Haye is better.

              Tony admitted it was balls and gave Haye big praise, Even if Haye and Thompson both lied - its only sparring plus Hayes chin sucks so its not like a huge shock. Didnt happen tho

                He got hit with 1 solid shot in the sixth and was nowhere near out in the 12, Grant just rushed him so Adamek he got on his bike, please show me where he was seriously hurt. It was pretty much a total schooling and Adamek/Arreola was competitive but not what I would call a close fight that could have gone Arreola's way.

                  I don't know how getting badly hurt and cut is "winning with no problems."

                    You win. He almost got knocked out twice and struggled against a shot fighter.

                    Moving on.

                      Look at it for yourself. But I wouldn't expect you to see any different with your love for Eastern European fighters. And Ademak-Arreola was very close if you know how to score a fight without bias or at least have common sense..That would leave you out.
