He has the natural gifts crazy handspeed and decent power which well develop more has he gets older he just turned 20yrs .. but he looks very promising.. Signed with promoter Boxxer and Sky Sports he is the future of the light weight division for sure .. June 25th he fights for the IBF Youth World Title in only his 5th professional fight ..
He is a definite prospect and is good offensivley, but he will need to improve on tucking his chin in and avoiding leaving out high on the line - until he sorts that, he's a KO waiting to happen.
I agree, he still green and will definitely tighten some areas up still has alot to learn but he is blessed naturally which helps alot.. he has the tools I believe but needs to stay hungry and keep learning and improving ..
He's with a good trainer in McGuigan but every time his name gets mentioned I think he's going to be an accident waiting to happen. A lot of hype saying he's the future of British boxing and the fast hands etc looks great but when he throws his shots his head doesn't move off the line.
I know what you mean .. right now not much coming back but he will soon.. I'm sure McGuigan can see this too..
Update: Adam (20yrs old) signs a 4 year deal with Sky Sports with PPV events in future and promoter Boxxer Ben Sholum. He headlines his first show on Nov 27th in London. Sky Sports see Adam as the future face of British and World boxing ..
IBF youth world champion? I’ve never even heard of this before, mainly because that’s 1/100 different titles on the line these days.
Am I supposed to be impressed that he did what he was supposed to do and knock out a bum? He's BEGGING to be hit with a right hand with how low he keeps his left hand, and he throws punches like he thinks he's Roy Jones Jr.
He knows this , Shane knows this , you know this..but right now he keeps it low as a bait then slips and counters.. He has fast reflexes.. ..
Adam Azim has been compared to Hamed and Khan, but he reminds me more of David Haye. A lightning fast counter-puncher with power, who uses his speed and reflexes to cover up his technical flaws.
Looks very good. But until every aspect of his boxing is tested there's no point getting giddy. Remember what Booth said about Josh Kelly back in 2017: “Josh has such a unique skill-set; he’s the most talented fighter I’ve ever worked with. He is the most complete fighter at this stage of his career, I see him becoming world champion. Not just a world champion but a world champion who really catches the public’s imagination.” Mirrors Shane's comments on Azim in 2022. The chin check is the biggest single test to pass and you don't sit that exam facing journeymen...
