Banks was slumped horribly after the ref stepped in. Adamek looked great over those final 3 rounds. The guy has a monster chin.

I counted 5 shots unanswered there in the corner...
Did you see Lorenzo's right hand in the first fight? It was pretty good too.
You must not like Macca very much.Quote:

I had it 67-66 Adamek, the only round I scored different than you I think was the 2nd, Adamek didn't do enough until the last 5 seconds, and what he did, didn't look damaging.Quote:

I stil want to see a rematch with Cunningham
I think I had it similar. Banks won the first two, but Adamek was coming on stronger and stronger as it progressed. The judges were getting it right too.Quote:

You could literally see Adamek step it up and the momentum change.The hands were moving,legs coming.Banks earned that Ko,he sort of eased off
The body shots really slowed him down and set up the KO.Quote:

Adamek knew Banks had pop in his shot so I think that explains why he fought the 1st part of the fight that way. He wanted to taste his shots and see how he handled them. I think once he felt them he knew what he was up against and then just let go.
Reminded me of the ending to Tommy Morrison vs Ray Mercer.
For those who missed it... Enjoy!!

I have seen Banks but thought he was not that good. Adamek looks a quality fighter. Excellent power.
Wow, quality ending.
I wonder what wouldve been said if it had of been Macaranelli knocking out Banks like that?? Banks is useless or similar? lol
I like Adamek, I wasn't sure at first how he'd handle moving up 25 pounds but its obviously worked out for him. The only Cruiser that beats him IMO is Guillermo Jones.
In hindsight I wouldn't have minded seeing Adamek-Haye. Brilliant day in the prediction contest.

Adamek is a good fighter, I figured it might end like that....Banks gave a good account of himself though, he just has to work on a couple things and he'll improve
I think we can safely say Franky wont put Enzo anywhere near Adamek thats for sure.
Jones is a fucken freak of nature that dude is a monster compared to the rest of the Cruisers. But I agree if there's anybody that stands a chance at Adamek it's Jones but the rest get sparked out by Adamek.Quote:

Yes Jones is probably one of the if not the biggest threat to Adamek right now but in truth he would only be a threat early...Once Adamek opens up Jones would crumble to him...Adamek knows how to work body to head and vice versa...He is patient and when he figures something out he goes for it with excellence....Quote:

Truth is Adameks biggest rival is Cunningham...Adamek is stronger and hits harder but Steve can out box him
