After one of the biggest title mismatches in the history of the Cruiserweight division, one question remains regarding the Tomasz Adamek-Bobby Gunn bout on Saturday: Why?
Why did the IBF see fit to sanction this farce as a World Title bout? Why Bobby Gunn? Why has Gunn, a D- club fighter, received two shots at a Cruiserweight title (The other being a one round blow-out loss to Enzo Maccarinelli)? Why did Tomasz Adamek choose to tarnish an otherwise stellar reign with this garbage? Why did people pay hard-earned money to buy tickets or order the fight via online PPV?
So many questions…
What’s gospel, though, is that this human sacrifice was peddled to the public as a World Title defense when there are literally dozens of fighters more deserving than Gunn, even as tune-up defenses.
Brothers and Sisters, security camera footage of senior citizens being mugged would’ve been less of a mismatch than what I saw on Saturday.
IBF, Team Adamek…”Nigga, Please!”
Dedicated to the late, great Ol’ Dirty Bastard, the heart and soul of the Wu Tang Clan, the “Nigga, Please!” award will be given to a fighter, event or situation that is just plain stupid enough to garner ODB’s famous phrase of disgusted disbelief, “Nigga, Please!”
