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 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.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
