He's in the Gif in my sig, and someone asked about him so here's some info:
He's 28 years old, and took up the sport late. I belive he started in his early 20's, and has been trained by Canadain trainer Russ Anber:
(You might recognize him as he works a lot of coners for various pros)
Russ does a TV show about boxing in Canada caled "In this Corner".
Last year, I sent him an email asking about Adonis and here was his reply:
I'm glad you liked Adonis, he really is something special. In my 25 years of coaching he is without a doubt the most devastating puncher I ever trained. More importantly, he is like a sponge when it comes to absorbing information. He loves training and learning. Most fighters get to a point when they just go with what theyve got. Adonis is always willing to learn the new things I teach him and loves adding to his arsenal. He did start late and was with coaches who couldnt teach him or develop him. Since hes come to our gym, hes been really motivated to training and learning. He want to turn pro, but right now he is schedualled for 4 international tournements with the National Team including the World Championships in Bejing in November. After that we will look at a move to the pros. As for his weight class, if he turns pro it will be at Super-Middle (168 lbs).
His record as of today is 35-3, with 31 knockouts. I may be off by a fight or two but I know he only has the three losses. Two of the losses were very close decisions to Canadian Olympian Jean Pascal over two years ago. He's come a long way since. A few weeks ago, he fought and beat the reigning U.S. national champion Edwin Rodriguez twice and dropped him once in each fight. With those victories, he has established himself as the number one middleweight in North America.
I'm excited about him turning pro also. Ive been coaching for 25 years now and have never trained a fight with such explosive and devastating power!!
He is going to make a great pro. He will get to 25-0 without any problem at all.
Thanks again my friend
Take care

Keep an eye out for this guy, he reminds me of a cross between Jeff Lacy and Manny Pacquiao. This guy has some freakish power.
