Comments Thread For: Adamek Rips Robbery Claim: He Ran, This Was Sparring!

Stop whining. Cunningham was smart and slick, but heīs a feather fist and his punches did absolutely nothing to Adamek. USS is a good boxer but he has no business being in the HW division. It looked like an exhibition fight from Cunningham and it just isnīt enough. - If USS has to run all night from a small HW like Adamek how the hell is he going to handle the bigger super HWs?

This. Lol. People on here are delusional as hell.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess one of those posters was Freedom.

Hey, if you don't fight toe to toe, you're running. So what happened when Adamek fought Vitali? He *****ed up that's what. Steve beat Adamek and his big ass head. Everyone knows it except his diehard fans. Adamek is done. he won't win a title as long as the K brother exist. Put Adamek in with Wilder, lmao!

Another gift for Adamek. Only man who can beat him by decision is Jennings because they have the same promoter.

I thought Cunningham moved well and boxed with his movement but there were times when he was running! Those were the times that Adamek should have been ON him but he didn't attack! Cunninghams punches DID move him and that told me that Adamek didn't have much of a base to him and the guy had cement shoes on, very slow footed fighter! I'm amazed both of them are top ten division guys! They both look like beginners with 12 fights!! Now I know what the division looks like and why the Klitz Bros remain where they are, just terrible!!! I'll stick with watching Broner, Trout, Donaire and the rest of the talented people in boxing.

to be fair to both of them, they're 36 years old. they've both been through some hard fights.


they didn't look terrific last night, but it was a solid fight.


i thought cunningham won pretty comfortably. it was shady as hell that the scores were recounted and the verdict changed, though.

Cunningham does not belong in the HW division. If he ran from Adamek, he'd run from everybody else. Good decision though. Close fight. Adamek edged it out in last 2 rounds.

FOH, lmmfao!

Finally watching it. Not easy to score under these circumstances, but here goes it.

1. Even (Close as hell)
2. Adamek (Close as hell)
3. Cunningham (Cunningham racked up a lot of work in the start of the round. Adamek isn't just looking to steal rounds though, contrary to the announcers. Cunningham is not fighting a full 3 minutes, and Adamek comes on when Cunningham becomes inactive.)
4. Adamek (Close as hell) This isn't an easy fight to score so far, except round 3. Even round 3, Cunningham let off the gas and Adamek almost did some work to close the distance, but not enough to make up for the deficit.
5. Adamek (Cunningham holding back too much, letting Adamek walk in, not making him pay for the real estate).
6. Adamek (Cunningham had the best single punch of the round, but Adamek answered with a combo that partially landed--I mean some of the punches got in. Adamek controlled most of the round. Another close round. Cunningham is giving Adamek too much respect. Still, very close round).
7. Cunningham (The rounds I have scored for Cunningham are basically still close, but a little bit more clear in his direction. He isn't fighting a full 3 minutes, which is a little bit of a pet peeve of mine. He is trying to put something in the bank, and then use his legs to drift through the round. It is backfiring, because that allows Adamek to in fact put in aggression. Adamek landed some good shots at the end. I still give it to Cunningham.)
8. Cunningham (Close as hell. Cunnhingham not fighting 3 minutes leaves Adamek the opportunity to fill in the gaps.)
9. Adamek (This one wasn't that difficult). I haven't totaled up my score as I've recorded it, but almost every round is close, and could be argued either way imo. A couple rounds are clearer, this is one. The bottom line, Cunningham seems like he could be doing better, but he either won't, or can't, fight 3 minutes in a round. This leaves an opportunity to Adamek. It also doesn't reflect well on him. In a very close round, sometimes the benefit of the doubt will go to the closer. It isn't Adamek just trying to steal rounds imo.
10. Cunningham (His best round. And even so, Cunningham still taking breaks in the middle of the rounds. This was a clear Cunningham round, but when he takes breaks is when Adamek does his best work. Cunningham is shooting himself in the foot. That, or he doesn't have the gas tank to fight 3 minutes.)
11. Adamek. (Cunningham fought well for the first minute, Adamek did better for the latter two, and Adamek did land some decent shots in the round.)
12. Adamek (Another close round. I liked Adamek's effective aggression. Again, Cunningham doing too much cruising and too much holding. Still, a toss up.)

So the tally, I had it 7-4-1 Adamek.

Most of the rounds toss ups. The first round was really close, often it is hard to score opening rounds because they are feeling out rounds, especially in a fight like this, where there is so little to separate the guys in so many of the rounds. Round 1 perhaps Cunningham. Even if so, still 7-5 Adamek for me. Bottom line, there were so many close rounds. Not a robbery at all. A very close fight. Cunningham could've won the fight, but he couldn't fight 3 minutes of a round, and he left the door open for Adamek. If he could've fought the full 3 minutes of the rounds, the fight didn't even need to be close. Adamek did all of his best work when Cunningham stopped fighting.
