      Joseph Adorno has to move up to 140, he can't make 135 anymore.

        He could make 130 if he was disciplined he comes into camp weighing 180 that's why he can never make weight. The kid has some skill and decent power but he isn't dedicated 100% and it's cost him some good chances at exposure.

          Joseph Adorno does have good skill sets, and has real good knockout power in his punches, and was on a real good run of wins until he started missing weight.
          I heard through boxing on line interviews with Xander Zayas' trainer who is training both Adorno brothers that their were other underlying circumstances that were causing Joseph to miss weight.
          The trainer didn't elaborate, but if I remember correctly he had spoken to Top Rank about certain concerns, and they didn't pay him no mind.
          The trainer went on to say that Joseph was getting a bum rap, I don't know about that but the trainer did come off as being honest.
          Missing weight did cost him losing out on 2 scheduled fights, as well as being dropped by his promoter Top Rank, including the exposer you mentioned.
          The trainer did say that Joseph does train hard, and can make the 135 pound weight division, we will soon find out if all that was lip service, or gospel.
          I think Joseph is an exciting fighter with opportunities to go far in his boxing career, and I enjoy watching him showcase his skills and punching power.
          He has to check his ego thats for sure, all it will all come tumbling down faster than he can possibly imagine.

            He would always show up to the Garcia camp weighing over 180 a few weeks out from fights I'm not sure what underlying condition would cause that but it seems he relies too much on his power to bail him out and that's what cost him the clear win in the Ortiz fight. He has talent just needs to find discipline and he can potentially make some noise.

              Your talking more than 45 pounds over the Lightweight division, that would make him a Cruiser weight, thats hard to believe.
              I don't remember ever reading that he has weighed that much before when entering training camp.
              If he did show up to training camp that heavy, forget about just lacking focus at that point he isn't even athlete.
              Lets hope that all of that is behind him now, and that he can resume a progressively successful career in boxing.
              With the right combination of focus, and discipline he's a potential world champion in the near future.

                Came from his own mouth during an ESNEWS interview I can look for it if necessary but I'm telling the truth.

                  Thats not necessary Kannabis Kid, I appreciate the information I knew that he missed weight twice, and no matter what that on him.
                  As a professional you need to be serious about your career in this dangerous sport, when your young you think that you're forever young.
                  That you'll be able to do your thing without even taking into consideration that you're going to eventually get old, and your career will be over.
                  So he better get his head out of his a** asap, or it'll be over for him before he ever became a somebody in the sport of boxing.
                  Like I said I'm rooting for him, and his brother to become major players in the boxing game lets see how it all turns out.
