Tomasz Adamek vs. Steve Cunningham II

[Fury]

I had it 9-3 Cunningham.

[King_]

I thought it was a very close fight, I don't get how some guys can have it 10-2 for Steve, that's a way too wide card.

This. WTF...hardly ANY of the rounds Stve won were clear cut. Rewatch the fight and see how many of Steve's rounds could of gone to Adamek , and how many of Adameks could of gone to Steve..... And then score the fight 10-2 for Steve and cry robbery and come back and state your case.

This was a VERY close fight and for anyone to be mad Steve didn't win 10-2, is pretty ridiculous, IMO.

What's worse then the decision is your scorecard. 9-3 for Cunnigham? No way...

I'm not the only one.....

[BennyST]

It was meant to be in Cunninghams hometown too....man. Nothing will ever fix boxing. It attracts just too many scumbags.

[Uturn]

While I agree SS didn't win by that wide of a margin (10-2 means you fail at scoring) he absolutely won the fight. I'd love to hear what rounds were given to Adamek on some of those cards. Oh we'll, the fight was ass anyways.

Cunningham never deserved to lose that fight. That said, this is Boxing. Does anyone actually care how the judges score the fight nowadays..

Not Surprised, USA (esp NY/NJ + LV) has had some real real bad judging in 2011 and 2012. Oddly enough it seems the only place where foreigners can get a fair decision lately is in Germany as a few foreigners have won straps there by Decision this year.

This fight was in NJ right? What do you guys expect, same state that had Pwill-Martinez 1 119-112 for Pwill

i think you're a solid poster and all but im not sure if i understand this post...the foreigner/non-hometown (it was in PA where cunningham is from) won the iffy decision here lol

[The Gambler1981]

how did they get a 115-112 scorecard? No knockdown? Was there an even round?

I think one round would have had to been 10-8 to get that

10*7+9*5=115
10*5+9*6+8=112

[King_]

Cunningham was landing the cleaner shots in the last round in my opinion. I really don't see how Adamek won by 4 points. I'll rewatch the fight, but the best I could see for Adamek was a draw.

I definitely don't think Adamek won by 4 points, that's a pretty ridiculous scorecard as well. A draw would of been the best outcome, IMO.

I had it 9-3 Cunningham, I thought Adamek won rounds 5, 11, and 12 but other than that I thought Cunningham was fairly dominant even the last round could have gone in Cunningham's favor. I think Compubox backs that assertion up.
What's more important I think is that the power shots Adamek threw did not seem to be stronger, Cunningham was taking Adamek's punches well and Adamek wasn't taking the shots as well as in the first fight you gotta figure the Vitali fight took a lot out of him. Anyway I hope we get to see Cunningham against a solid heavyweight, maybe Price or Fury will give him a shot.

No. Pennsylvania. Not as bad as Campillo-Cloud or Abril-Rios, but still total nonsense.
