9-3 Chambers, he was actually landing punches, & clearly outboxed his befuddled foe with one-arm.

Adamek was missing constantly & hitting Eddies gloves all night.

Fucking awful, awful decision. 117-111 Chambers for me. It was obvious they'd rob him but when the 119-109 card was read out you just thought, surely not? Disgraceful.

And Eddie was one-fucking-armed for 11 rounds!

Complete bollocks :-(


This has pissed me off so much. Sorry but it's just terrible.

No John Terry but Chambers getting robbed in his own fucking country is a new low :patsch

My bet got raped last night. I had Munroe and Chambers. The bookies were kind enough not to count the Munroe fight as a draw for me but then by the sounds of things I've been fucked over by the judges in Vegas.

Close for Chambers. I had it 116-112 Chambers. I wouldn't say it was a robbery though. Chambers gave up a few rounds by not throwing anything. Fights are scored round by round, and when one fighter doesn't throw, and the other is, you have to give it to the fighter that's actually throwing and landing the odd shot here or there. When you put a highlight package together and show the real clean punches, no question Chambers won. But, that isn't how you judge a fight. Chambers made it too close in some rounds, but he fought a hell of a fight with just one arm, though. Big props to Chambers, that was a hell of a showing.

Only saw the first 4 rounds, half the 11th and the 12th (Chavez vs Lee was in the way), so I can't be objective in this.
I scored it 3-1 Chambers after 4, but I thought it was much closer as the commentators made it out to be.Couldn't score the 11th because mised half, but scored the 12th for Tomasz.

So it's clear the 119-109 is completely bogus, but I can't give my ruling over who won it. :conf

Decided to watch it further, and I had Chambers winning 4 of the 7 rounds I missed.

Already scored 1 to 4 3-1 Chambers
5th 10-9 Chambers
6th 9-10 Adamek
7th 10-9 Chambers
8th 9-10 Adamek
9th 9-10 Adamek
10th 10-9 Chambers
11th 10-9 Chambers.
Already score the 12th 10-9 Adamek.

So 115-113 Chambers.
What amazed me the most, is that Tomasz (and his corner) didn't figure out in those 12 rounds that there wasn't coming anything from Chamber's left.
His direction of circling wasn't usual towards Chamber's left, and the way Tomasz reacted at Eddie's attacks was like he expected left hands as well. :conf

completely missed this one.

as a neutral who hasn't seen it i'm torn. the media seem to report a clear win for adamek but fans report a clear win for chambers :think
My idea is that although I had Chambers winning, it wasn't a real robbery because he simply didn't do much... it's a bit like Froch vs Dirrell in that way.

And hi luf, long time no see :hi:

Yeah real close fights I always watch 3 times if possible and stick with my last score. Froch - Dirrell i've scored twice as 1-1.

I know mate, things have been a bit hectic for me lately (see the smash and brag thread :lol:) and I stopped posting regularyl for a bit and left the general forum altogether cos of how many trolls it had, started posti9ng much more since I got invited over here by @Vano-irons
