Cunningham should have fired a few more of those left uppercuts....they were landing a good amount of the time, & seemed to be his hardest punch.
Adamek, is a bull....took those shots well. He carried the much heavier hands, & did much more damage. I thought USS won more rounds, but the knockdowns resulted in the right man being scored the winner.
Really fun fight.

Damn. USS needs a KO. This fight reminds me more of Pavlik/Taylor 1.

That bantam weight scrap was a good one. Defense? We dont need no stinkin' defense!!!
Looking forward to seeing both these guys again. That was one of the better fights I've seen. Hope the main event lives up to the undercard.
They're saying Adamek is stronger at this weight. Let's see if he can take The USS's torpedos. LOL. I apologize for the terrible pun.

>The Winky fight got axed. That's a big plus in my book.<
IDK Gun I kinda would've liked to see what Winky has left even though he was fighting somebody who was put in there to make him look good.
I always liked watching Winky give fits to his opp.
but,I think tonight could be a Good fight probably the ,best on the Vs card for the month.

The Winky fight got axed. That's a big plus in my book.

And the superb Cunningham-Adamek fight next Thursday. Versus has done pretty good.
No complaints here. I always enjoy watching Toney. Just not to wild about his opponent.

Cheers to Versus for stepping up and taking over The Contender, as well as carrying quality, relatively low-budget fights nearly everyone can enjoy without paying subscription or pay per view fees.
