Adames Retains WBC Middleweight Title Over Williams

Carlos Adames retained his WBC middleweight title with a dominant unanimous decision victory over Austin "Ammo" Williams on Saturday night at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. The 32-year-old Dominican fighter outclassed his challenger over 12 rounds, securing scores of 118-108 and 117-109 twice from the judges in the main event of a Matchroom Boxing card streamed on DAZN.

Adames, now 25-1-1 with 18 knockouts, dropped Williams in the second round with a precise straight right hand and maintained control throughout the bout. He applied steady pressure, targeting the body and head while keeping Williams on the defensive. According to CompuBox statistics, Adames landed 176 power punches to Williams's 89 and outlanded him overall 254 to 127. Williams, a 29-year-old southpaw with a record of 20-2 and 13 knockouts, showed early competitiveness with his jab and movement but faded under Adames's relentless output. He had moments of aggression, particularly in the sixth round, and landed some heavy shots late despite a bloody mouth and visible fatigue, but could not sway the fight's momentum.

This marked Adames's third successful defense of the 160-pound belt, following a split draw...
