Bud vs Adames

[SouthpawRight]

Learn to read, genius. The idea was 1 fight in 2026 and 1 more in 2027, which is the same rate he's been fighting at since COVID.

Adames has some solid wins against dudes a little past their primes (Derevyanchenko, J-Rock, Molina, Gausha) and he got absolutely robbed against Sheeraz, but he doesn't have any wins at the elite level and he has a loss to Patrick Teixeira.

If this fight happens I've got Crawford pretty comfortably.

I have Adames in real time and Crawford in the judges hands and cards

Easy work for Bud vs Adames
Setting himself up for another unification at 160

[MulaKO]

I suspect we get the Alimkhanuly/Lara winner vs Adames around April and Bud fights the Undisputed Middleweight Champion later in the year.

I can’t see Bud fighting twice in 2026, you’d have to go back to I think 2019 for the last time he fought twice in a calendar year.

Apparently talks already going for Adames vs Bud
Obviously him getting the winner of the Lara vs Janibek fight

might as well when the chance is there and with turki paying the way, ideal situation really

bud fans say he never got opportunities & now he has his pick from 147 to 175 LOL

It’s now or never considering he wants to have three to four fights

What's your source on there being Crawford/Adames talks?

[MulaKO]

I don't care who wins, just make it happen.

That’s it , I like your attitude

Crawford / Adames sparring

When was this ?
Although l’m a firm believer that sparring is just that ; sparring

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Crawford has said he wants two more fights all along, so who is the other fight against?

Unless it's a Canelo rematch or a sideshow MMA gongshow fight, I don't think any other guys at 160 or 168 are going to be bigger than Lara/Adames/Janibek. Maybe Eubank I guess, but that would be pretty underwhelming and nothing would really be at stake.

I think Ennis could be the final opponent. Probably depends what Ennis does between now and 2027, but I get the feeling that could be a big deal at 160 in a couple of years, if Ennis becomes the man at 154.

Wouldn’t rule out the Canelo rematch or some sideshow circus fight though. Options are pretty limited from 160-168.
