Adamek's Promoter Questions
That His Man Won The Fight
Just moments after Tomasz Adamek scored a controversial
split decision over Steve “USS” Cunningham in a rematch of
their thrilling 2008 fight, Adamek’s own co-promoter told
Ring Magazine’s Joseph Santoliquito & Philadelphia Daily
News Boxing maven Bernard Fernandez that he doesn’t believe
that his man won the fight.
“He Got a Christmas present”, Said Ziggy Rozalski of the
decision that just about every ringside observer and
Millions of fans watching the fight thought that Cunningham
should have been awarded the fight but instead it was Adamek
getting the win via disputed decision by 116-112; 115-113
for Adamek and 115-113 for Cunningham.
The bout highlighted the return of boxing on NBC.
“By him saying that just further puts a stamp on the point
that I clearly won the fight”, said Cunningham.
“I worked so hard and executed my game plan perfectly and
won this fight. There is outrage all over the internet about
the decision and I feel bad that my promoter Main Events has
done such a wonderful job to get a fight of this caliber
back on big network television and for these judges to see a
different fight then everybody else is disappointing. Now
its time to sit down with my management and promoter to
discuss what is next and what to do from here. I trust that
Main Events will find the justice here and make sure my
career only moves ahead and onto bigger better fights”
