I remember him most of all from when he trained Matt Korobov and he seemed like a real good guy and obviously a great trainer who trained many world champions. 'He was the former boxing coach of twenty-six professional World champions, thirty four Olympians and a total of fifty-six boxers who became World Champion. This list includes Edwin Valero, Vince Phillips, Diego Corrales, Freddie Norwood, Charles Murray, Kennedy McKinney, Frankie Liles, Michael Nunn, Johnny Tapia, Ruslan Chagaev, Samuel Peter, Cory Spinks, and Michael Bentt.[2] Adams also trained notable boxers Evander Holyfield, Pernell Whitaker, Roy Jones Jr., and Riddick Bowe in the Summer Olympic Games with Team USA. Adams is considered a legend among boxing culture, once going 22 straight World championship bouts without a loss.' It would be even more world champions if Korobov hadn't been so unlucky. RIP
Awful news. Kenny Adams is one of the ATG trainers in boxing. The sport is all the better for men like him and the champions he has guided and taught over the years. This man truly loved the sport and was instrumental for the success of generations' worth of American amateurs and over two dozen world champion. Boxing has just lost one of the best and brightest brains to have graced it.
