Carlos Adames W12 Austin Williams... The middleweight division is at a low moment right now, but Carlos Adames is at the head of the class. The Dominican 160-pounder retained his WBC title in Orlando, Florida on Saturday, with a wide unanimous decision over Austin "Ammo" Williams (20-2). Adames (25-1-1) scored a second-round knockdown, and while he did not end the fight early, he punished Williams for the duration, leaving the challenger with a bloody mouth. Official scores were 117-109 (twice) and 118-108. As for the other middleweight champions, Zhanibek Alimkhanuly tested positive for a banned performance-enhancing substance, which cost him the IBF title. The WBO continues to recognize the disgraced Alimkhanuly as champ. The WBA title is held by 40-something Erislandy Lara, who rarely fights.
