I’m from the Chicago area, and the local boxer who I’ve followed, is Adrián Granados.
Man, what a fighter, but it’s a damn shame. I think he’s better than his record reflects. He’s all heart. I don’t think he has the skills of an elite boxer or the athleticism, but he’s made up for it with his heart. He fights all out and he never backs down from anyone.
After his breakout win vs then undefeated Amir Imam, he gets to fight 5 former champions, Broner, Porter, Fortuna, Garcia, and Easter. While he got stopped vs Garcia, he gave Broner all he can handle and easily could’ve won that match. He clearly lost vs Porter, but wasn’t outclassed and remained competitive. He was just coming on vs Fortuna before Fortuna fell out of the ring, and he fought an all out action brawl with Easter and turned out a good performance, but came up short.
Do you guys think Granados can further his career at this point at all? What do you guys think is the next best step for him? He’s going to be 31 this year. I feel so bad for this man. He’s had a hard luck career it seems. I’ve had the opportunity to meet him on a few occasions he’s a stand up guy. He wears his heart on his sleeve and you can feel the frustration in his voice when he speaks on his shortcomings in close fights.
