How Did Grant Look

I heard it was a decision how did Grant do?? win any rounds?

I had it 7-5 Adamek. Grant is huge but he just doesn't let his hands go enough. When he did he hurt the Pole at least twice.

ya Grant always had that problem with not being busy after Lennox shell shocked him

wow so it sounds like Grant put up a valiant fight

he didn't work hard enough to be valiant in my view. But he was highly competitive.

qwell goood for him i feel sorry for the guy because he basically became a punch line the fact that when no one gave him a chance he showed up and gave a better fight than Arreola is impressive

He was good enough that I'd like to see him against a Klitschko just because of his size. I don't think he can win, but it'd be a different look anyway.

agree, think he would do anthing against Arreola or would Arreola put him to sleep?

I scored it 7-5 for Adamek as well. Grant did little to nothing in the first 1/3 of the fight. If he had let his right hand go more than he may have gotten Adamek down or possibly out before the fight was over.

sounds like the scorecards were way too wide

I think one judge only gave him one round. Right? or maybe two? That is a joke since I saw him win 3 and I only watched the last 6 rounds.

thats pathetic i havent seen any scorecards but damn thats a joke.

The 11th and 12th were great. Adamek moved and beat on Grant and then in the 12th Grant looked like he was going for the KO and had him hurt. It was a good fight. What I saw of it at least.

I gave Grant 5 rounds, same for Marble. I think the writeup on ringtv.com said they had it 116-112 (8 to 4 for adamek).

The official judge that had it 118-110 was a bit off in my opinion. 117-111, a little better.

Even if Grant would have really won he wasnt getting a decision.

2nd half of the fight had drama. Grant hurt Adamek at teh bell in the 6th (think I have the right round). Adamek looked to be tiring alot in rounds 7-10. One of those rounds I felt he won (can't recall which at this point). 11th round-Adamek re-asserted himself to win the round. Then in the 12th Grant had Adamek hurt again.

Last 6 rounds had some drama as it was very possible for grant to get to adamek.

So you are saying I watched the good part of the fight.

Grant didn't do himself any favors. If he had thrown the jab a little stiffer and just thrown another 3-4 right hands a round he probably could have caught Adamek with a big right hand.

yeah you did watch the best part of the fight.

Good. I was out watching the expendables. That movie is really good.

Grants problem has always been he just tries to load up on the right hand and HE WAITS to do it.

there may still be hope for him

What I saw of him he looked good. I have an idea. How about Adamek takes on Vitali and Grant takes on Wlad. Think about it that would be the better matchups. Vitali and Adamek are both tough as nails and would make for a great fight and Grant and Wlad are big guys who can punch but both their chins are a ?.

sounds good to me
