Adam Azim going to beat Haney, Shakur, Keyshawn @ 140lbs

Stop, just stop. This kid is a hype job. Any asian kid with a bit of speed and slickness is the 2nd coming, the next Naseem. He gets his head knocked off as soon as he fights a live opponent.

 

He looks average to me. There is a dearth of talent in the UK right now and competition amongst broadcasters so it's inevitable kids are going to be put on a pedestal before they're ready, if they ever will be. Sky are hyping him and having him headline shows because it suits their needs but the reality is he is very green and not worthy of the praise he's getting. He needs to be on undercards away from the pressure as there is a lot to improve on.

 

Agree

Take the pressure away

Let them build

Send him to America and Mexico etc for good quality sparring. The UK does not offer this at all in my experience.

However what the UK DOES offer are the best promoters, good huge platforms and the ability to quickly build fanbases.

 

See how he fares, think he's got the tools, needs a bit more building but I think next 2 years or so he should be looking for a world title opportunity. Shane Mcguigan is a very good trainer and he done a good job from the start with Frampton and Taylor at a good pace and ready to challenge for titles without many bogus fights to pad their record.

 

Another Sky sports hype job.

 

Potential is there

Let's not get carried away this early

 

He`s no quicker than Loma, has only knocked out bums, skills untested at the higher level, has size and reach, a great trainer? Has never fought a big puncher.

 

Sounds like Tommy Hearns and Manny Steward, lol

 

Dude is 5'11, should be fighting at 147 or 154. His skills are ok but nothing to write home about. I don't see where he stands out in any categories.

 

I agree he has potential but still has a lot to learn. Doesn't need to be over hyped at this stage. Certain British promoters have a habit of doing just that, Khan was a good example of that.
