WBC Middleweight Showdown

Last night’s DAZN/Matchroom Main Event between WBC Middleweight Champion Carlos Adames (25-1-1, 18 Kos) and mandatory challenger Austin “Ammo” Williams (20-2, 13 Kos) was an interesting bout when first announced but quickly turned into a one-sided affair when they finally touched gloves at Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida.

Due to Adames’ one year layoff from ring action, many boxing pundits anticipated that the younger, fresher and more active fighter in Williams would be too much for Adames but what transpired was far more convincing inside that squared circle. Real Talk!

The trash talk was heavy from both sides during the build-up to this fight but the one who backed every word was Adames. Both combatants came out the gate aggressively trying to dominate one another but the one who made it clear early was Adames when he dropped Williams in the second round with a well-placed right hand to the dome giving him a standing 8 count which set the stage for the remainder of the bout.

School was in session from that point on. Adames boxed beautifully round by round nullifying every aspect of Williams’ game. There are levels to this boxing sh*t and last night Adames showed Williams exactly where he was at in his career. Although Williams had some flashy moments at times, Adames always made sure to let him know who was really controlling the fight.

Adames bullied and lumped up Williams from head to body and from start to finish. After 12 full rounds of a one-sided beatdown, the Judges at hand scored it 118-108, 117-109, 117-109 unanimously for Carlos Adames.

With this convincing and dominating win, Adames retained his WBC Middleweight Title and successfully defended it for the third time.

Well done, Champ. On to the next.
