Adamek Gunn Weigh-In Results
IBF Cruiserweight Championship
July 11, 2009 – Prudential Center, Newark , NJ
IBF Cruiserweight Champion, Tomasz Adamek, stepped on the scale today in preparation for the defense of his championship belt. Looking fit and ready, Adamek weighed in at 199 lbs. Challenger, Bobby Gunn, was also in fighting shape, coming in at 194 lbs.
Bobby Gunn expressed his usual enthusiasm, saying, “I wish the fight were today, that’s how ready I am. I’m so excited. Tomorrow is going to be a great night. I have about 50 people coming in on a plane right now, there are so many people are coming out to support me. It’s fantastic. I will not let them down!”
Adamek, responding to a question from a fan asking if Adamek thought this was going to be an easy fight said, “I am too intensely professional to take Bobby Gunn lightly. There is danger every time you step in the ring. I have worked too hard to lose all I have just because I didn’t take my job seriously.” “But tomorrow there will be no let down for my fans.” “First opportunity I get I will try to knock Bobby Gunn out, because I don’t get paid for overtime!”

BigTime Timmy Tells It Like It Is…This Column Is Fire Edition

I would like to welcome back my legions of loyal fans and thank you all once again for reading what could be the single most underrated boxing column on the internet today, and I can’t forget to mention future P4P. There is a boatload of things we are going to discuss today. I would like to do more of an intro… but hey, who needs it? Lets get into the good stuff.
Eddie Chambers upsets Alexander Dimitrenko on the 4th of July in Germany for the WBO mandatory position:
Poor Sascha did not know what he was in for when he agreed to fight “Fast” Eddie. Right now he has to be feeling betrayed by the media, the majority of the boxing fans, his team, the odds makers, the judges in Germany, and his fans who ultimately turned into “Fast Eddie” fans. Almost everyone had written this fight off as a win for Dimitrenko including myself, but of course I should elaborate. I told the world the Eddie would easily handle good ol’ Sascha but those tricky judges over in Germany normally give the hometown favorite a 7 round lead. Read more »
