Comments Thread For: Carlos Adames retains WBC title after contentious split draw with Hamzah Sheeraz

[BritJimbo]

All the British commentators had Adames winning. It wasnt a one point fight and the rounds won by Adames were pretty clear. Bad decision.

Adames got robbed , if he had knocked out Sheeraz he would have been disqualified and banned from boxing in Saudi Arabia. They aren't about to let a Mooslim Brother lose to an Infidel while he's still breathing. Don't sweat it Mr. Adames , Boxing fans know what happened.

I will still drink some wine on Monday night in Santiago , DR.

Adames won!

[New Englander]

Wow! Sheeraz got a gift with that Decision. I really hope Adames does not choose to give him another one by agreeing to a Rematch he doesn't need. Only Hamzah needs it. Adames should focus on facing Erislandy Lara or Janibek. The Lara Fight acually makes alot of sence with them both being PBC Fighters.

Adames would have won if his name was Abdul.

Now I hope Adamas can be more active....damn good overall boxer/puncher and he did well today with his output and rightfully kept his title.

Sheeraz should fire his coach! His coach waits till after the eleventh round to tell Sheeraz he needed a knockout to win when he was clearly losing! Sheeraz had the tools to beat Adames,but only fought in small spurts! The fight shouldn't have been called a draw!

This fight was bullshit! Clearly Hamzah Sheeraz didn't want the fight badly enough to take any risks in order to get it. However, yet the corrupt judges scored it a draw anyhow. Which is just unbelievable.

You have to take the fight to the champion in order take the title off the champion but Sheeraz did not do that. I thought I was watching a championship boxing match but Instead I ended watching a posing contest.

Where both guys were too afraid of hitting each other and throwing punches.

[champion4ever]

Shawn Porter needs to be quiet. He doesn't know how to score or judge a fight. He had Sheeraz winning that fight for Crying out loud and he was the challenger.

So the onus was on Hamzah to take the title away from the champion and he did not do that. Most of the time if a fighter doesn't want the fight then chances are the judges are not going to award him the fight.

I know that it was a Draw but that was being too generous. The guy just simply refused to engage or try. In a fight that I thought he should have lost.

Wouldn't mind Adames going for unification next and Hamzah setteling things with Bentley. Rematach where Hamzah doesn't break his hand is also still interesting.
