Adamek vs Chambers on June 16

[Hulk]

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.

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.

First off bj flores is an absolute assclown both in and out of the ring. Eddie chambers is hillarious. With one arm or two and hell even an extra leg you'd loose to adamek along with most every other fighter in this division.

I have to agree. The way he made it sound Chambers was dominating Adamek from pillar to post. Yet, he scored the fight 7-5 Chambers.

I thought it was a close fight and if Chambers hadn't injured his arm, he may have beat Adamek. Unfortunately for him, I imagine that will be the only shot he'll get against Adamek. An Adamek versus Povetkin fight would be a good heavyweight scrap. For Chambers, he should look to fight Arreola or Mitchell.

What impressed me in this fight was how much movement and speed was in the ring for a heavyweight fight. Both guys were far from the overweight, out of shape heavyweights, that we too often see. It was a pretty good display of skill for two big men.

Yes with two good arms he may have beaten Adamek, but he def did not beat him with one despite what Flores would have the viewer believe.

It was a solid if underwhelming fight. I like Adamek so I enjoyed it.

Bryant Jennings looked good, could have stopped Collins, but Collins was all heart and a tough customer.

Jennings may be the 2nd best American heavyweight right now behind Arreola, and I think he is the fastest heavyweight for sure.

I'm not terribly impressed with Jennings. He keeps in good shape it seems, but he's yet to map out what kind of fighter he is comfortable being. Is he a boxer/puncher? A pressure fighter? A pure boxer? He just seems to give himself too many ideas on attack. He can work in behind the jab well enough, but then he'll fight out of a crouch and try to bob & weave in. Jennings has fast hands and good long arms, but he is constantly putting himself out of optimal range and therefore not getting as much as he could on his punches.

I don't think he's better than Seth Mitchell right now and I don't think he's better than Joe Hanks either.

I think Chambers would definitely beat Adamek with two hands. My big take-away from this card was being thoroughly unimpressed with Adamek. More commentary on the pathetic state of the HW division....

He seems a boxer to me with just enough power to hurt guys and possibly stop them. Def not a huge puncher, but he seems to be sitting down on his shots more, or at least was against Lyahovich.

I think Jennings is better than Mitchell, tho Mitchell could blitz him early and beat him, but I doubt it.

I've never heard of Joe Hanks.

Whats his best win ?
