More than three years since his last ring appearance, former super welterweight world title challenger Brandon Adams (23-3, 15 KOs) returns to the ring in a ten-rounder against Ismael Villarreal (13-2, 9 KOs KOs) on Friday night on DAZN from the Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Adams was last seen stopping current WBC interim 154lb world champion Serhii Bohachuk in eight rounds back in March 2021.
Adams-Villarreal is part of a 154lb tournament that also features Francisco Veron 13-0-1, 10 KOs) against Angel Ruiz (18-2-1, 13 KOs) in the other bracket.
The fighters are fighing in a compact 18×18 ft ring.
It’s about time Adams!! Dang
Seriously…. got probably the biggest win of his career on a slippery ring in Puerto Rico and then vanished! Bohachuk took the loss and put the experience to good work for where he is now, so it’s Adams’ turn. Villareal is a pretty good fighter, especially after such a long layoff.
I know he owns and trains out of his own gym in Santa Fe springs near Los Angeles. Hope he does well.
Didn’t look too bad against charlo!! Didn’t have any amateur experience, should be proud of himself.
I think I remember you saying that once. I guess business has been going pretty well since he’s been out so long. Still, it’s a lot of time to miss, especially in your early 30’s. He probably spent a nice chunk of his physical prime not fighting.
