Re: How far can Ali Adams go in the heavyweights folks?
adams was ok in Prizefighter but as to how far he can go....probably not much further
he has a ten rounder scheduled....this is more serious than the usual 6 round gabor farcus wastes of time. anyone know who he may fight ?

Re: How far can Ali Adams go in the heavyweights folks?
The next six months will tell.
He has improved massively over the last two months.
He boxes December 3rd and hopefully gets a good opponent and good test. We are working on it.
This is the first tiem in his career that Ali is 100% focused and 100% fully fit. Don Charles has done a wonderful job with him but skill wise and mentally wise.
Dont condemn him until you see what the next six months brings.
Then pass judgement.

I'm sure either would if the circumstances are right. I'm sure Larry would pummel him, and if Skelts has anything left, he'd win too.

Re: How far can Ali Adams go in the heavyweights folks?
From what I've seen of Adams, he is lacking in strength - and that was underlined by Skelton in Prizefighter. I mean, Tyrone Wright, a career-long super-middleweight, deserved the nod when they boxed over four. And i know an early-career loss doesn't mean anything, especially if he's worked on keeping his chin down, but being chinned by Radcliffe Green is an indication that his level is at Area. No shame in that.

Re: How far can Ali Adams go in the heavyweights folks?
I think Ali has some tools, but he seemed to completely shit himself against Skelton. Seemed to be an enigmatic sort.
I aint seen him under his new team and also the Skelton thing could have been an experience issue.

I think he might surprise a few people on 3rd December, He has improved enormously since the Prizefighter defeat to Skelton.

Just been told by Dean Powell they have gone for a foreigner for Ali. I did say yes to the fight by the way.

Re: How far can Ali Adams go in the heavyweights folks?
Ali is boxing for the international masters title. Hope Larry will box Ali on 10th March. Terms were offered but were not accepted in time and contracts were signed with another boxer. Hopefully this fight will happen on 10 th March as Ali definitely wants it and it seems that Larry does too. Hopefully it happens in March and the best man wins. I could not wait any longer for Larrys team to accept and the boxer in reserve had said he would not wait in reserve any longer. Once I signed the contract that was it and Larrys team accepted the fight after the deadline had passed and we had signed contracts with another boxer. Hope this clarifies. I wish all the best to both Ali and Larry.
Re: How far can Ali Adams go in the heavyweights folks?
That would be a decent matchup. I'd take Larry by KO

Re: How far can Ali Adams go in the heavyweights folks?
1) The title is now vacant
2) How is he being protected when
a) Both Larry and Matt were offered it the fight?
b) The finances were good enough an incentive for Larry to accept it (although after the deadline)
c) A contract is on the table for Larry to fight Ali on March 10th
d) Ali accepted a big International fight abroad over 12 rounds against a top 50 world rated boxer but Robert Smith said he could not take part until he had done a 12 rounder.
We are all for fair banter on here and opinions but please make sure comments are credible and there are substance behind them.
