It's literally the first time he's not entertained the crowd and won by a convincing margin/KO. He's young and still growing, every boxer has the odd fight early in their careers when they're not at their best.
The op clearly has limited knowledge of boxing and how young fighters are matched.. We saw a 21yr old kid with 8 fights vs a 26yr old man with 24 fights with only 1 loss .. Find me any recent British or American prospect with that age and number of fights fighting someone with 3x the number of fights than him? And that guy only had 1 loss.. You won't, Boxxer and Shane doing what many said put him in with someone with ambition and winning record , and a proud Ukrainian same size as Adam if not bigger .. Sure Adam looked a bit confused at times but made some adjustments and got a wide UD win .. that was another good learning fight and another full 10rds under his belt. Adam showed patience, worked off the jab kept probing.. he needs to master his range better and not waste too many jabs which missed and a few other things too which Shane also mentioned after the fight. He seemed a bit nervous last night , first signs of pressure fighting on a PPV card as Co main event after a bit of a layoff .. can happen he is still only 21yrs old .. Adam last fought in Feb vs another unbeaten South American and before that he was very active.. some hand injuries has kept him out the ring longer .. he will be back out again later this year .. he still has to work on a few things but I'm sure this kid will be a world champion near future ..
He was getting tagged a lot with wild left hook counters He is miles away from the top operators in this division. Also, I sense glass.
he definitelyg doesnt have a glass jaw based off what we saw last night. He got hit cleanly by a few left hooks and ate them.
Fanian slowed down in the second half of the fight. Anyone know how much notice he had for this fight?
He had half a year to prepare for Adam. The fight was originally announced in April-May and was meant to happen on June 16th. Adam got hurt a week before the fight so it got rescheduled for September 2nd. Shane said that Aram would remain as the opponent Adam would face while Adam was healing from his hand injuries. I want to see how far Aram will go in his career. Certainly better than anyone Dalton has fought so far.
@Darni187 your fanboy biased opinion is meanlingless. Your post history is cringe af like you're in Azims family or something! And also stupid, the way you're making the young age excuse for absolutely everything. You're the exact type of person I was referring to who have been hyping him up to be something he's not, with your cringe ''future of boxing'' posts and all this He's just not that guy clearly, I'm sorry to say.
Adam Azim is 21 years old and didn't have any senior amateur fights. Ricky Hatton had 70-80 amateur fights including winning the senior ABA's and in his 9th fight was fighting someone with a 1-2 record. Josh Taylor turned pro at 24 / 25 years old after winning the Commonwealth games and going to the Olympics. You dipstick.
@Furey Josh Taylor only started boxing aged 15, azim was boxing since being a toddler and had at least 40 amateur fights. And hatton barely had any senior bouts, he turned pro aged 18. @Boris Wang you sound like a teenage casual who's just started watching boxing and Azim is the only boxer you know.
