The problem, in my opinion, is everyone does not use the same standards to judge a fight.
In my opinion, fights should be judged on effective aggression, harder punches landed and ring control. Effective aggression should be most important.
If aggression is not the most important thing being judged, you wind up with two people circling each other, jabbing, jabbing and waiting to counter which makes for a dull fight with a lot of booing. Even the fact that Adamek was trying to steal the rounds during the last 10- 15 seconds was an aggressive tactic and might have convinced the judges he wanted it more.
I'm not a judge, have never been trained to judge and there are plenty of fans who will disagree with me, but I think giving the more aggressive fighter an edge in judging sends a clear message to every boxer, trainer, matchmaker and promoter what the fans want are action packed fights.
Cunningham had some good rounds and great moments in that fight, I especially liked the fact that he kept fighting as he was retreating and gave Adamek all he had.
What do you think? You might convince me I'm wrong but I doubt it.
