what was adamek doing at over 220 pounds? he started his career at light heavy, and seemingly moved up to heavyweight to get some bigger paydays. i'm no fighter, but combat sports are one of my passions, so take this for what its worth. as a smaller heavyweight, his advantages are speed and mobility. weight has a negative effect on this, and trying to bulk up or just being too lazy to cut doesn't end well. he looked slow and sluggish, far from ideal.

as for the judging,i didn't score it but i thought cunningham clearly won. sad to say, but there have been far worse robberies as of late. my solution would be in the case of these controversial decisions, the judges should be made to explain why they scored certain rounds for certain fighters, and further education should be required. if the same judges (dalby shirley comes to mind) make the same bad calls, they should be suspended at the very least.
