NEWARK, N. Kevin Burnett Jersey .J. —Tomasz Adamek unanimously outpointed Eddie Chambers in a 12-round bout Saturday night to capture the IBF North American heavyweight championship. Adamek, a Polish fighter who lives in Kearny, N.J., has won two straight fights after losing a WBC heavyweight title fight to Vitali Klitschko last September in Poland. Adamek improved to 46-2, receiving winning scores of 116-112, 116-112 and 119-109. Chambers, who lost to Wladimir Klitschko for the IBF and WBO heavyweight crown in March 2010, was fighting for the first time since February of 2011, missing two scheduled bouts due to injury. Adamek dominated the early rounds, as Chambers could not muster any attack. Chambers apparently injured his left bicep in the first round, rendering his left hand as practically useless. Adamek continued his domination in the third and fourth rounds, switching up his boxing styles to keep Chambers at bay. Chambers failed to connect with a left at all in those two rounds, only scoring with his right. Adamek scored at will in the sixth round, using a stiff right jab to keep Chambers moving backwards. Chambers spent most of the round covering up and offering little offence. Adamek staggered Chambers in the seventh round, but appeared to do so while stepping on Chambers foot. Chambers finally scored with two straight right hands in the eighth round. Chambers continued to score in the ninth round, pushing Adamek back on two occasions, giving it a game effort fighting with only one arm. Adamek then controlled the last two rounds to win the decision much to the delight of the Adamek-dominated crowd, which chanted “Polska, Polska,” in favour of Adamek all night. Chambers was fighting for the first time since the passing of his long-time manager “Big” Rob Murray, who died June 3. Murrays son, Rob, Jr. has taken over handling Chambers. On the undercard, heavyweight Bryant Jennings continued his ascent up the heavyweight ranks with a convincing unanimous 10-round decision over Steve Collins. Jennings improved to 14-0 overall with his victory, capturing the USBA Heavyweight Championship in the process. Collins fell to 25-2 with the defeat. Jennings hurt Collins with a solid left jab and right uppercut combination in the fourth round, knocking Collins into the ropes and causing a standing eight-count. Jennings continued to outscore Collins from that point on by a lopsided margin of scoring punches. Karlos Dansby Jersey . The two teams will also be aiming to build off extremely important wins in their last outing when they take the field at Charlottes Bank of America Stadium for a Thursday night showdown that will launch the Week 3 schedule of this 2012 NFL season. Carolina earned its long-awaited return to notoriety thanks largely to the talents and charisma of Newton, the leagues reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year who established a new season standard for first-year quarterbacks by amassing 4,051 passing yards and accounting for 35 touchdowns (21 passing, 14 rushing) during a dynamic debut for the top overall selection of the 2011 draft.

Walden blew the save in Thursdays loss 4-3 to Tampa Bay when he allowed a two-run, game-ending home run to Brandon Allen. Walden has converted one of two save chances this season. Jonathan Martin Jersey . But Toronto FC didnt comply, battering the visitors 5-1 to open CONCACAF Champions League group stage play. Reggie Lambe got two goals, while Luis Silva, Terry Dunfield and Ryan Johnson also scored for the Reds in front of a dismal crowd of 5,324. Davone Bess Jersey . After advancing to the second round of the playoffs three straight years, the Hawks were eliminated in the first round with Thursday nights Game 6 loss at Boston.With a sigh of relief, D.J. Kennington is ready jump into his comfort zone. The 2012 NASCAR Canadian Tire Series season started off with a pair of road-course events, but the Clarington 200 at the Speedway at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park near Bowmanville, Ont., on June 16 opens a three-race stretch of competition on oval tracks – the EMCO 200 on June 23 at Delaware (Ont.) Speedway and the A&W Cruisin The Dub 300 at Motoplex Speedway and Event Park in Vernon, B.C., on July 14 follow. “Its not that I dont like I dont like road racing because I do. Its very challenging, but Im just more comfortable on ovals,” said the 2010 series champion. Despite professing not to be a road racer Kennington, out of St. Thomas, Ont., produced a pair of top-five finishes to open the season including a third-place effort to start the year at the Road Course at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park and a finish in fifth at Circuit ICAR in Mirabel, Que. “Its a pretty decent start. I think we had a top-three car at ICAR, but we made a few mistakes,” said the driver of the No. 17 Castrol Edge/Mahindra Tractors Dodge. “Third in the opener was solid. Anytime you can beat Andrew Ranger (fourth place) on a road course, thats a good day.” Sitting third in the championship point standings – seven behind leader J.R. Fitzpatrick – KKennington is ready to turn some laps on oval tracks. Jake Long Jersey. Of his 11 series-career wins, 10 have come on ovals, but he has yet to reach Victory Lane on the Speedway at CTMP. His best results at the track were third-place finishes in 2008 and 2009. Last year, he crossed the line in the fifth position. “Its a tough track. None of the turns are alike. Im not sure Ive ever hit the same mark twice in a row,” he noted. “I think I won a CASCAR race there in 2005, but for one reason or another we havent gotten a NASCAR win there.” Kennington, sort of a Canadian version of Rick Hendrick or Jack Roush, prepares three cars out of his shop as both Noel Dowler and Jason White run Dodges out of the DJK Racing stable. But he doesnt feel that detracts from his own championship-caliber program. “Its kind of a double-edged sword. Sometimes I wish we didnt have three cars to get ready, but sometimes its good to turn your attention to something else,” he said. “Its really a good way for us not to obsess on our own stuff.” The Clarington 200 winner will set the tone for the seven-race oval-track season perhaps making this race the most important one on the calendar and Kennington, owner of 45 top-five finishes in 65 series starts, almost assuredly will have some say in the matter. ’ ’ ’
