Adames vs Sheeraz: Complete Fight Breakdown

Adames vs Sheeraz for WBC Glory

The current WBC middleweight champion Adames will be entering the fight as the champion but as the underdog with the bookies.

The Dominican-born fighter won the title with a lacklustre unanimous decision win against Terrell Gausha. His only defeat came back in 2019 when he lost to Patrick Teixeira. Since Sheeraz moved to middleweight he has been extremely dominant winning all seven by stoppage, including his most recent wins over Austin Williams and Tyler Denny.

Despite Adames being the underdog, he will pose a live threat to the British fighter. The Dominican is relentless and will look to put Sheeraz under pressure and work his body. He also carries plenty of pop in his punches. Sheeraz is exceptional at controlling the distance and when he uses his jab, he’s difficult to get inside. Adames will look to unsettle the Slough-born fighter and pounce on any recklessness shown by Sheeraz.

This middleweight world title fight has the potential to be explosive, with both fighters showcasing power on previous occasions. Many believe it could be the fight of the night—and they might be right.
