Adamek vs Chambers on June 16

[armin]

Sharper 7th on strictly right hands for Chambers. Thats all he has. The second Adamek flinched off the feint he lost an additional point. Adameks own boxing and body work is totally unseen by those on the mic

Look, I dont mind a pure 'boxer' but right now I miss Chris Byrd

And now Flores literally compared him to Floyd Mayweather The guy is clearly licking boots

Yeah I turned back in completely in the 11th n immediately muted the mic flores has chambers nuts all in his face adamek just threw ten landed five chambers threw one back n I'm sure they're sayin great job bu chambers or some shit

[TigerFan]

BJ has Eddie ahead

[armin]

Bj flores needs to get chambers dick outa his mouth he's puttin lampley to shame

[TigerFan]

The 119 card was a bit wide but the right guy one.

[armin]

Suck on that flores can't say whether those scorees were acurate since I missed half the fight but shit he made it sound lime chambers was schoolin adamek and at no point from what I sa did that seem to be the case

It did look like Chambers was the better fighter to start out with, I don't think the injury was bogus at all. He stopped jabbing completely after the 2nd round and still had some success, but definetly didn't come all that close to winning tonight. In a rematch I'd still have a hard time backing Adamek, he just doesn't do anything very well and seems to have slowed down quite a bit since he first moved up to HW.

I def think Adamek earned it but 119-109 was a stretch, big time. Punch for punch I'll take Adameks body to the showman ship single snow ball rights Eddie did get home. He was faking the funk in there, posturing, posing and putting lipstick on a pig. You ain't winning on right hands alone unless your pulverizing people.

[armin]

Id back adamek every time, chambers is to lazy or whatever ya wana call it

Agreed. I realize Chambers has always had that problem, but the way he started off and then completely stopped using his left makes me think the posturing was an attempt to keep Adamek guessing to some extent. Tomas was in there with a guy who had one punch and no power, certainly didn't impress.

116-112 for Adamek . The commentating was crap as they were bias towards Chambers. Eddie is so lazy in the ring . He could of beat Povetkin if he had the heart to do it.

BJ Flores must be good friends with Chambers or something because his commentary was outrageous and unprofessional.

I was shaking my head going "What is this guy watching ?"

Chambers was remarkably competitive for fighting with one arm, but I still had Adamek winning about 8-4.

Kenny Rice knows nothing about boxing so he just regurgitates whatever Flores is on about.

The body work and work rate of Adamek was completely ignored, but not by the judges. Glad to hear Adamek won.

I would not mind seeing Chris the used to be fatty Arreola rematch since in that fight it was neck and neck until Chris had a grievous hand injury. That would be a great fight to watch as neither man can really bang but have enough pop to keep the other honest. Also I would like to see how Arreola looks against a great boxer when he bothers to be in shape.

Scorecards for the fight.

I'm not a BJ Flores fan at all, he's a caudled fighter much like Sean O'Grady....sure he's well spoken enought o be a comentator but just because you can talk doesn't mean you're good at comentating on the action or scoring the fights.

I watched this card, and there were points where Bryant Jennings impressed and there were points where he got lazy or admired his work too much. I like the build of the guy, he's got a Bruno/Rahman type frame with really long arms and if he paired up with a good trainer he might turn into something. I did like some of his combinations as well, but they were few and far between. He was in solid shape, but has not learned how to properly unleash his power yet....usually guys with that kind of frame, once they find their range can KO anyone or anything, but he seems stuck between trying to fight from a crouch and trying to fight tall. That is something that should be worked on in training, the switch was too drastic vs such a low level opponent (who did fight bravely and last the distance). Jennings really must focus on choosing 1 style and accomidating all his attributes into that style, because if he doesn't then other boxers will lay back when he's crouched and try to time a counter and attack when he's more upright and fighting taller.


As for Adamek-Chambers, we all know what Eddie brings to the table, he has a solid defense and a sharp right cross. It's quicker than it is powerful. Adamek has a great workrate and stamina and that's where he won the fight. VS 'Fast Eddie' if you can last 12 you've got half the job done already. The key is to not tire yourself out against his defense which he uses to invite people to hit, and I'm guess in sparring his opponents just open up on him while he lays back and counters, but in a slow round you're just not going to win using that style. hard to believe Povetkin was nearly beaten by Eddie Chambers....I think Adamek-Povetkin would be a blow out right now. Povetkin doesn't have a chance.

I think Chambers did pretty well considering he apparently hurt his left arm and was using the right arm almost exclusively by the 2nd round.

In the past I have thought he should up his work-rate. But in this fight it I think he just had bad luck with that arm.
