Tomasz Adamek of Poland keeps his IBF and Ring Cruiserweight titles against Johnathon Banks of the US via TKO in the 8th. As expected, Banks has heavier hands than Steve Cunningham and rocked Adamek at least a couple of times. I thought Banks took the first 2 rounds. But, Adamek once again proved that he has one of the toughest chins in the business. Adamek finally figured out Banks with punishing body punches after the 5th. It was all Adamek from there until the short right in the 8th knocking Banks down. Still staggered when Banks beat the 10-count, Adamek finished him off with flurries. A rematch with Cunningham is the most logical next fight for Adamek but as a fan, I prefer a unification with Panama's Guillermo Jones who doesn't have anything scheduled right now.

Prediction result:
Got the winner right but overestimated Banks' durability by at least a round.
My running score: 3-0
Therefore, no changes in the tally. I'll repost the list, with changes or not, together with the 4 title fight results later.
