Adames (24-1-1, 18 KO), a former super welterweight prospect who broke through at middleweight following an upset loss to Patrick Teixeira, has not fought more than once in a calendar year since 2021. A thrashing of Juan Macias Montiel earned him the interim WBC title, which he defended against \u201cJ-Rock\u201d Williams before the sanctioning body finally had enough of champion Jermall Charlo and elevated \u201cBronco\u201d to take his place.<\/p>\n
His two defenses have seen him cruise past Terrell Gausha and fight Hamzah Sheeraz to a contentious draw.<\/p>\n
\u201cLife doesn\u2019t repeat opportunities \u2013 if you escaped once, consider it a miracle,\u201d said Adames. \u201cDestiny forgives once. After that, it collects. Not everyone gets two warnings. He already used one. Danger is coming to Orlando on March 21!\u201d<\/p>\n
Williams (20-1, 13 KO) looks to have rebuilt nicely since his own unfortunate run-in with Sheeraz, notably beating veteran Patrice Volny last year and last-minute replacement Wendy Toussaint a few weeks back. It\u2019s unclear to me why he\u2019s getting this opportunity when there\u2019s an interim champion (Jesus Ramos) and mandatory challenger (Meiirim Nursultanov) in the way, but he figures to make for a quality scrap with Adames.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe second Ammo Show will be electric,\u201d said Williams. \u201cThis is the moment I become WBC Champion of the World and begin my reign. Ten years of dedication all boiling down to one night, don\u2019t miss it!\u201d<\/p>\n
Per the press release, Olympians Omari Jones (5-0, 4 KO) and Teremoana Teremoana (9-0, 9 KO) will face the fearsome TBA Twins on the undercard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adames (24-1-1, 18 KO), a former super welterweight prospect who broke through at middleweight following an upset loss…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166570,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[28097,139,141,140],"class_list":["post-166569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-orlando","tag-boxing-news","tag-orlando","tag-orlando-headlines","tag-orlando-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166569"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166569\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
