Adames beats Welshman Warburton by unanimous decision
Carlos Adames beat Welsh boxer Gerome Warburton by unanimous decision in a non-title super middleweight bout in Riyadh. The result marked Adames’ return to the ring since March and his debut for Zuffa Boxing, while Warburton earned recognition for lasting all ten rounds against a top-ranked opponent.
Adames controlled the fight and landed effective body shots, but did not secure a knockout. The three judges scored it 100-90, 98-92 and 99-91 for the Dominican, whose professional record is now 26-1-1; Warburton’s is 18-2-3. Warburton’s defensive approach helped him withstand the pressure, and one judge gave him the eighth and tenth rounds.
In short
- Adames won all three judges’ cards in Riyadh.
- Warburton went the distance against the WBC middleweight champion.
- Adames returned to boxing and made his Zuffa Boxing debut.
