Adam Azim

Adam Azim, the most exciting young prospect in world boxing today, dominated an experienced undefeated opponent in Santos Reyes.

Ali said to Sky Sports after the fight: “I was very happy to get the first stoppage of my career. I could have boxed in that fight perfectly but I wanted to make a statement and get the stoppage victory, which I did successfully. Lozano held on against Ali’s barrage until half way through the third round when the referee was forced to step in. I’ve been fighting 10 or 12 rounds in the gym so I knew I could get him out of there if I wanted to. I put him under pressure, educated pressure, to force the end of the fight. Benchadi used strong evasion to recover from his second round knockdown but was eventually overwhelmed by the skill and power of Reynolds. I got complacent in the fifth round, so I had to be smart to end the fight.” Jeamie TKV said to Sky Sports after the fight: “I’m glad I took another victory tonight but I feel I could have got a stoppage there if I’d fought smarter. Neither man would give up either though, so the fight went the distance, with action from the first to the final bell as both men left everything in the ring. His younger brother Adam Azim now looks to do the same in tonight’s main event. I thought he was finished in the second round, but those Latin Americans are tough fighters and he stuck it out.” Azim jabbed and moved throughout, not taking a single risk before he landed a knockdown in the second round, where he then increased his offensive output.
