Has anyone seen this ? Adamek won by TKO in 5. Both were down in round two i think if I recall reading correctly. Supposedly a good fight. I actually thought Walker was gonna take this.

Adamek is not an ordinary heavyweight, for the simple reason being that he is not a heavyweight. I find it remarkable that people say "Oh, he's at heavy now, so that's how we have to judge him, as a heavyweight", when the same people spent years telling anyone who would listen that Chris Byrd was a "Blown up middlweight". Adamek has a small frame and a small back and smallish arms for a so-called heavyweight. He's small at the weight. Every win he has against these bigger guys is a good win, in my opinion. And, in his defence, he;'s not an earmuffer.
While I like both guy's, I would have loved to see the Chin pull the big upset. Even so, he gave a good account of himself and showed a decent chin in the loss ( another couple of performance like this and I'll have to find him a new nickname athetic: )
Golovkin vs Proksa and Adamek vs Walker were great fights....my guess is that the lack of interest in both fights at this forum is reflective of a general lack of interest overall. It's quite possible that Adamek won't get a mention in any "fight of the year" or "round of the year" conversations simply because people chose to ignore him, usually on the grounds that the "division is shit". :wack: Yet here we are scraping the floor looking for an opponent for Andre Ward. That's depth. ::
