Carlos Adames W10 Gerome Warburton... WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames defeated Welshman Gerome Warburton by wide unanimous decision at Zuffa Boxing 13 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This was a non-title bout, held in the super middleweight division. After a steadily paced start, Adames, fighting for the first time in nearly eight months, opened up a little bit at the end of the fourth round that seemed to serve as a bit of a warning shot to the southpaw Warburton. The fifth was more of the same as Adames repeatedly found a home for his right hand to Warburton’s body while the rangy Warburton was rendered rather defensive. At that point, it was all Adames, who found a lot of success to the body in the back-half of the fight as he distanced himself from his foe. Warburton stuck it out until the final bell and showed some life in the eighth round, but it was more of a showcase for the Dominican, who won by scores of 100-90, 98-92, 99-91.
