WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames (24-1-1, 18 COs) and #1 Hamzah Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 CO’s) struggled on Saturday night with a very dubious 12-round split draw that fans were angry about what was angry their witness in this battle on the venue in Riyadh.
Adames dominated Hamzah from start to finish in a one -sided fight. It was continuous pressure from Adames, which nailed Sheeraz with body shots and bumps to the head. The bumps that sheeraz threw, 6’3 ″, are badly counted and easy for the more experienced Adames to avoid.

“I think it’s a fair reflection of the battle, to be honest. One of the judges, I don’t know where he was with his standings. He is (Hamzah) 23 years old.
