Comments Thread For: Adamek Will Now Face Dominic Guinn, Grano Pulls Out

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Tony Grano withdrew Thursday from his Aug. 3 fight against heavyweight contender Tomasz Adamek after suffering a herniated disk in his neck during training camp.

After Grano informed promoter Kathy Duva about his injury, the 36-year-old Adamek (48-2, 29 KOs) agreed later Thursday to fight Dominick Guinn (34-9-1, 23 KOs) in a 10-round bout that’ll be broadcast by NBC Sports Network from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

Houston’s Guinn is 38, has lost three out of his last four fights and hasn’t fought since knocking out journeyman Stacy Frazier (15-13, 14 KOs) in the first round 13 months ago. Guinn was promoted earlier in his career by Main Events, the Totowa, N.J., based company that represents Poland’s Adamek, which made the fight easier to make on such short notice.

What a joke!!!

Geez, is Guinn still fighting?

[parrish duke]

this is what hurts boxing - so they replace a HoBo with a Bum ! there is a list of good boxers that stay in the gym for a shot like this, and they put him in against a guy who has lost 3 of his last 4 ? *** Adamek, on top of the Cunningham gift and the Chambers gift, I could care less about this dude.

With Grano you would've had a slugfest and a big KO; with Guinn you're gonna have a boring decision

Didn't know Guinn was still around? This is a waste of time though. I remember when Guinn absolutely leveled Michael Grant. His last relevant win is Audley like 6 years ago. If you can call that relevant.

So sick of the hype patrol calling the Chambers win a gift. Adamek was the aggressor, the higher volume puncher, landed the more telling shots, and landed either more or was within 2 in 7 of the 12 rounds. It was a close but solid Adamek victory. Quasi boxing fans i.e. boxing complainers aren't happy unless they can whine that a close fight was a "robbery", especially when exposed to terrible commentary like BJ Flores. Cunningham was similar, although I scored that a draw.

And its not like I'm some big Adamek fan either, I think the Adamek Arreola fight was much closer than scoring and fans think, for similar reasons. I had Adamek squeaking out a 6-5-1 victory in that one.
