On The Watch “It’s All About Carlos Adames vs Austin Williams”

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.

On The Watch “It’s All About Jermall Charlo vs Juan Macias Montiel”

WBC Middleweight Title Defense

Last night’s PBC/Showtime Main Event between WBC Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 Kos) and Juan Macias Montiel (22-5-2, 22 Kos) turned out to be a better show than expected at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

The “Hit Man” was definitely in a fight last night and although he clearly won the bout, I gotta tip my “B” hat to Montiel for making it exciting. Montiel came to fight and made it quite interesting. If Charlo was looking for an easy fight last night Montiel made sure to make it tough for him at least as best he could. Montiel showed some serious durability in this bout. Dude refused to bow down to the “Hit Man”. Charlo hit this Dude with everything from head to body with some serious sting behind it and Montiel, although clearly buzzed out at times looking punch drunk, still fought back and held his own. Montiel definitely earned my respect with this one.

Montiel never stopped coming forward throughout the bout. After 12 rounds of non-stop action, the Judges scored it 120-108, 119-109, 118-109 unanimously in favor of Jermall Charlo. With this win Charlo retained his WBC Middleweight Title. Well done.

Montiel proved to be a hell of a tough competitor but Charlo demonstrated to be levels above inside that squared circle.

Congratulations Champ, can’t wait to see who’s next for the “Hit Man”.

On the Watch ” It’s All About Jermall Charlo vs Sergiy Derevyanchenko”

WBC Middleweight Challenge

Last night’s Premier Boxing Champions Showtime PPV co-main event at the Mohegan Bay Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut, between WBC Middleweight Champion Jermall Charlo (31-0, 22 Kos) and Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-3, 10 Kos) was pure fireworks from start to finish. Real Talk!

There are levels to this boxing sh*t and last night Jermall showed us just that by clearly dominating the “Technician” Derevyanchenko by a unanimous decision.

Jermall’s pistol-like jab worked over Derevyanchenko from the jump. The snap and power Jermall had behind that jab did not go unnoticed as the rounds wore on. Jermall got pushed inside that squared circle last night by a really tough warrior in Derevyanchenko who clearly came to throw down with him but fell short in his third attempt at a winning a belt.

Sergiy was by far Jermall’s toughest opponent to date hands down. Sergiy banged and boxed blow for blow with the lion Jermall but simply couldn’t deter the “Champ” to win enough rounds. It was a tough night of action where both combatants went hard at each other. Real Talk!

In my eyes, Jermall’s power punches and accuracy are what separated the two. Although Derevyanchenko had some good moments at some stretches throughout the bout, Jemall’s “game plan”, patience, pure strength and ability to absorb Sergiy’s attack is what carried him over for the win.

The Judges’ scores were 118-110, 117-111 and 116-112. Absolutely no complaints here.

With this convincing win over a top tier adversary, Jermall retained his WBC Middleweight Title and reasserted himself has a true Champion in the Middleweight Division.

Congratulations Jermall on another great convincing win.

Who’s next?
