Carlos Adames even bolder against J-Rock<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Top middleweight Carlos Adames will aim to make his case as the sport\u2019s best middleweight when he defends his Interim WBC Middleweight Title against former unified champion Julian \u201cJ-Rock\u201d Williams this Saturday, June 24 live on SHOWTIME (9 p.m. ET\/6 p.m. PT) from The Armory in Minneapolis headlining a Premier Boxing Champions event.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy time will come where I will show the world that I\u2019m the best middleweight,\u201d said Adames. \u201cA dominant victory on Saturday night will ensure me a fight with Jermall Charlo to see who the real WBC middleweight champion is. It\u2019s been very difficult to get the big names in the ring with me, but I just have to keep winning.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old Adames (22-1,17 KOs) has been on a tear up since climbing to middleweight in 2021, including a close but decisive decision over Sergiy Derevyanchenko and most recently a third-round KO of Juan Macias Montiel in October. The Dominican fighter now training in Las Vegas has thrived with top trainer Bob Santos.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had an incredible training camp in Las Vegas with my coach Bob Santos,\u201d said Adames. \u201cWe put in a lot of hard work and got some excellent sparring with some very good fighters. My road work was taken to the next level, with a lot of running at high altitude. I\u2019m eating the best foods and feeling great.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saturday night will see Adames battle his most accomplished opponent to date in the former unified 154-pound Williams, a Philadelphia-fighter, who defeated Jarrett Hurd in one of 2019\u2019s best fights to capture WBA and IBF titles. Although Williams only made his middleweight debut in November with a unanimous decision over Rolando Mansilla, Adames knows the danger that Williams presents.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see Williams as a dangerous opponent,\u201d said Adames. \u201cHe\u2019s a former world champion who has a lot of experience and he has nothing to lose at this point in his career. I\u2019m expecting a tough fight, but I feel I\u2019m the better fighter in every aspect. I feel I can break him down and end the fight in the middle to late rounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since losing a 154-pound title fight in 2019, Adames has worked his way up the 160-pound division and will now step into the ring for his first SHOWTIME main event on Saturday night, with the goal of closing the show early and in dominant fashion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is another great opportunity to showcase my talent on the big stage,\u201d said Adames. \u201cSHOWTIME is where the stars are born. I can\u2019t wait to show my people back in the Dominican Republic, and here in the U.S., all the hard work that we put into this camp. This is my first main event on SHOWTIME and I\u2019m going to take full advantage of the situation. My goal is to win by spectacular knockout.\u201d<\/p>\n
