After he defeated Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-4, 10 KOs) in a WBC title elimination bout this past Sunday, middleweight Carlos Adames (21-1, 16 KOs) now has his sights set on conquering Jaime Munguia (38-0, 30 KOs) in a final eliminator as soon as possible to earn a fight for the WBC world title against Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs).
“I’m here to prove that I’m the best middleweight in the division,” said Adames, who trains in Las Vegas under the guidance of Ismael Salas. “I’m very thankful to the WBC for making my fight with Derevyanchenko a title elimination bout. Now that I’ve been victorious, I’m one step closer of my dream of becoming a world champion, and I want to fight Jaime Munguia next. Munguia has a fan-friendly style like myself, and I know this is a fight the fans will want to witness.”
Adames has two fights under Ismael Salas, his new trainer, and feels all the pieces are in place for him to make a world title run.
“Since transitioning to Las Vegas to train under Ismael Salas, I’ve been able to get my career back on track,” Adames continued. “I feel I have a great team in place and I’m ready to challenge the biggest names in the sport. Jaime Munguia is the fight I want now!”
“Charlo is another name on my hit list, I’m coming for them all.”
Munguia vs. Adames is a nice scrap. I believe Munguia’s constant pressure and solid power (especially to body) will wear down Adames for a late TKO victory. Munguia is also physically settled at 160.
I agree. I don’t know if he stops him, but I’d pick Munguia as a clear winner in that fight. I think he said he wanted to get back in there in February, probably too early for Adames, but this should be a good fight whenever it comes up.
Wanting and getting are different animals in this business. Once you jump the hurdles with legal contracts with all the BS stipulations, political agenda amongst promoters, sanctioning fees, and network bids, then maybe just maybe you will “get” your fight. Good luck!
he will beat these guys. charlo cannot actually fight. athlete for sure but skills? munguia is a face first skills third guy so his career will be short and painfull …durr
He’s gotten better idk if you did not see his last fight agains rosado. I did not like minguias style like you said he was face first but after the great terrible morales is training him he actually improved so much he’ll destroy adame in 7 rounds. Mexicans have hard heads I do t know if any boxer that ended up all destroy if he was a great Mexican boxer.
Adames, Mungia, Charlo..along with Andrade ..can criticize or praise any of them but as long they fight each other I’ll be happy to watch.
I thought Dervyanchenko won that close fight-He was pressing all night long and scored cleanly
