Jerry Glick reporting: It was closer than Tomasz Adamek’s fans thought and hoped it would be but the Polish favorite who holds the IBF International Heavyweight Champion won a unanimous decision over Jason Estrada after twelve hard fought round before 10,123 screaming fans at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on Main Event’s exciting seven fight show.
Adamek and Estrada traded punches throughout their encounter. Estrada tried to use skills to get his punches in on target, but Adamek took charge down the stretch until the twelfth and final stanza when he appeared to be content to coast. The Judges gave it to Adamek by scores of 118-110, 116-112, and 118-113. Adamek improves to 40-1 (27 KOs), while Estrada’s number fell to 16-3 (4 KOs).
In a less than scintillating encounter, undefeated “Kid Chocolate” Peter Quillin had to shake off some rust and get his arms moving again after suffering a broken hand, followed by appendicitis, to win a unanimous eight round decision over veteran contender, Fernando Zuniga in a super-middleweight battle. Quillin improved to 21-0 (15 KOs) while Zuniga watched his record to fall to 28-10 (14 KOs).
