That one put a bit of a downer on the card, nevermind there are more to come.
You don't win many fans with fights like that. Exposure on this card should be your gateway to more riches if you entertained.

I'm going to say it's a tie between Cherifi and this guy.

Adames won for the first 2 mins of the last clearly and stunned Sheeraz in the process. Sheeraz then threw a total of 10 jabs and 1 right hand in the last minute a lot of which missed so not sure how anyone can give Sheeraz the last round.

Well, at least when Sheeraz needed a knockout in the last round, he threw a few jabs.

This would be a robbery if Adames doesn't get the decision. Sheerez was so disappointing, Adames is very basic.

yeah, I'm worried we'll see another Fisher-Allen decision. Sheeraz didn't show up, clearly lost

Just goes to show highlight knockout reels against lower level or past it opponents don’t prepare a fighter properly. Sheeraz looked clueless and should lose this. I was optimistic for his career but on this showing he’s shown he’s not a world level opponent.

I got it 116-112 Adames

I could see 115-113 or 114-114. I can't see any way Sheeraz wins.

He just wasn’t at the races.

what the hell is that guy in his corner doing? A few rounds ago was telling him you’re winning this fight

then in the last round he’s screaming you’ve got to knock him out! you’ve got to knock him out to win!!

I have Adam’s wellll up.

Won’t be shocked with a weird result though guven some of the weird enthusiasm I saw for Sheeraz first few rounds.

I thought sheeraz was better late than early, but I thought he was dogshit early.

Shawn Porter thinks Sheeraz won. A large envelope of cash was seen going into his pocket.

When you think how much Smith and Buatsi were prepared to put on the line in the show opener, Sheeraz was very disappointing here.

Oh god it’s a draw.

Terrible from Sheeraz.
No doubt he'll say he was young, weight drained and will learn but SMW is far more competitive than MW and can't see him excelling there

A Draw

I can't say I agree. I had it for Adames, but at least he didn't lose his title.
