    A scorecard change....really?
    If you're going to cheat and rob the man, at least don't do it on NBC when people are watching for free..... come on now.

      There was no change. Buffer read it wrong. The official scorecard was mis-added to 115-112. It was 115-113

          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.
          I've seen around the websites that most Americans (including those in the media) had Cunningham winning, while most Polish viewers had Adamek winning.

          I'm neither American like Cunningham, nor Polish like Adamek. I saw a very close fight.

          I thought Adamek won 115-113 (despite some pretty footwork and jabs from Cunningham) because he landed the cleaner, harder power punches and he took the fight to Cunningham who ran too much.

          But there is no point in arguing. The only way Adamek would be given credit is if he KOed Cunningham, and even then you'd just say Cunningham was no good anyway (same way you discredit the Klitschkos by saying their opponents were no good).

            My mistake, but still a dismal showing on NBC.
            Can't wait for everybody to hate boxing even more

              The difference is that Adamek has a RABID national (and ethnic) fan base. Cunningham doesn't. The more jaundiced eye in this case would be the Adamek base.

                    For Cunningham.
                    I agree. You don't win fights by plodding around and blocking punches with your face.

                      Anyways I didn't see the full fight, just the last 6 rounds in which I had Cunningham up 4-2.
