Adames beats Welshman Warburton by unanimous decision
Carlos Adames successfully navigated his Zuffa Boxing debut in Riyadh, securing a unanimous decision victory over Gerome Warburton. While the WBC middleweight titleholder controlled the pace throughout the non-title super middleweight contest, he was unable to secure a knockout against the resilient Welshman.
The judges returned scores of 100-90, 98-92, and 99-91 in favor of Adames, who moved his professional record to 26-1-1. Warburton, who holds a 18-2-3 record, relied on a defensive strategy to survive the distance, managing to pick up a few late-round points on one judge's scorecard despite the heavy body work he absorbed.
