No there is no article here. Since Adamek is fighting tonight I was just thinking of how Bell gave up in their fight.
I thought Bell was gonna dominate at cruiser for a while, but his inactivity was his downfall. Too bad really would have been nice to have another player at cruiser, but that's the way it goes.
Any thoughts?
I was upset when Bell beat Mormeck, I was really looking for big things from Mormeck in that one.
Bell is a bit of a headcase though. He's apparently way into that zen stuff, living in Jamaica with the plant life it's not hard to see why, but then he goes and gets in trouble for going Jason Vorhees on his sparring partner. It's always been a question of which Bell shows up and how long he shows up for. Fades in essentially every fight, including against Dale Brown, and then comes on strong versus Mormeck late in both fights.
I only saw a little bit of the Bell-Adamek, it was on the TV but I think I was watching Sebastian Sylvester-Javier Castillejo instead.
The cruiserweight division in general was a big flop these past couple years after a few really good years proceeding these where everyone fought everyone and you had some real talent at the top.
Bell was one of the names mentioned for the new crusierweight contender.
I heard Bell and possibly BJ Flores might be going on the new Contender 4.
I'm pretty sure I read the same thing, I don't think it was set in stone though. From what I recall anyways.Quote:

It wasn't the most exciting fight, which he acknowledged after the fight, but Flores was able to demonstrate decent boxing skills.Quote:
