Comments Thread For: Steve Cunningham in Tears Over Loss: I Was Cheated!

[ThePunchingBag]

I had Steve winning 8-4.

Then again I'm biased against Adamek.

I think he's a product of careful home cooking.

So there was 2 separate score card changes? This should be ruled a No Contest and the judges disciplined. This is professional prizefighting, you can only call what you see, but there shouldn't be any post fight fidgeting with the scorecards.

No scorecards were changed.

Someone just read them wrong. Michael Buffer had a bad day.

Keep ur head up Cunningham, everybody knows you won.

It was a close fight, there was definitely no robbery.

If Cunningham had been more aggressive, he'd have won. But he ran too much and didn't throw enough in some of the rounds. He just jabbed, he should have thrown more power punches.

Adamek landed far more power punches according to the statistics.


When Adamek would hit Cunningham, BJ Flores would say "hard right by Cunningham". Likely many viewers were influenced by the jingoistic commentary.

Most of press row wasn't listening to Flores and had it for Cunningham from my understanding.

He still out-threw Adamek didn't he? I also felt he landed the clearer shots. Jabs still count though and I din't feel like Adamek's flurries at towards the end of many rounds were enough. He looked to miss most of the time.

I feel bad for him, waited 4 years for the rematch, then gets robbed

Not mad at the red k..... But I along with several other posters here had the same score of 9-3 including Cliff Rold..... Did you red k him as well???

Another suggestion.... Check twitter and see if you see more scores resembling mine or yours

If Fightscore collects scorecards for this bout I will link you there as well

Almost no one anywhere has Adamek winning. They sure as hell don't come up with 116-112. I like Adamek and picked him to win, but this was silly. 9-3 was fair. 8-4 could have been.

For Cunningham.

Don't it's karma from the rematch he never gave after winning close fights over G.Jones, rubbermatch to Wlodarczyk after he was good enough to give Cunningham a rematch or a bogus win over Ross who was beating him.Steve is more than happy to take controversial or cheap wins and walking away with a smile but cries anytime the same thing happens to him like Hernandez I or this. Guy is a hypocrite

No such thing as Karma

Cunningham has certainly had his share of fortune as well, though Wlod is a bad example. He got jobbed silly in the first fight. Ross was highly questionable, but Hernandez I offset that.

In some ways, it works out. Pulev beats the hell out of either. Now Adamek can take that ass whipping.

Small reward.
