Sounded like an exciting fight!
Tomasz Adamek UD
Slowing down sure. But fought a much higher calibre of opposition and will take it based on extensive experience rather than athleticism.
A small HW and not a puncher but one with a good chin and very well rounded skills, you don't become a multiple world champ for nothing.
Adamek has been very good, but he did look old today. At HW he relied on being smaller, but quicker and throwing better combinations, but he has slowed down a bit. I thought it might be stopped after about 7 because of the eye. He was eating jabs like a child addicted to Jelly Babies. Stop eating them Tomasz, it gives them diabetes! Though in this case it was a very bad eye.
I don't think Adamek has anything to offer really if his output is down. He is too porous and at HW, you don't want to be eating punches in your late 30's.
He's had a great career, he isn't going to be winning belts now.
