Carlos Adames: ?Caballo Bronco? is Ready For ESPN Spotlight

PhilBoxing.com





Adames to fight Alejandro Barrera as co-feature to Linares vs. Lomachenko
LIVE on ESPN, Saturday at 8 p.m ET.

NEW YORK CITY (May 7, 2018) - Carlos ?Caballo Bronco? Adames no longer wants to be the welterweight division?s best-kept secret. The undefeated 24-year-old from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, is seeking to make a statement on one of the biggest stages imaginable.

Adames (13-0, 11 KOs) will face Alejandro Barrera in a 10-round bout as the ESPN-televised co-feature to Jorge Linares? WBA and Ring Magazine lightweight title defense against Vasiliy Lomachenko on Saturday at Madison Square Garden. Adames, who will be making his debut under the Top Rank banner, has not fought in the United States since his fourth pro bout back in 2015.

?I feel like I carry the responsibility of becoming the superstar that my country is waiting for,? Adames said. ?I have the talent, dedication and confidence to become a superstar that represents the Dominican Republic. I?m going to give it all for my country.?

Adames, a go-for-broke puncher, turned pro in 2015 following a storied amateur career that saw him win gold medals at the Pan American Youth Championships and the Dominican Republic Youth National Championships, among other tournaments. Last July, he picked up the most impressive win of his pro career, shutting out former IBF junior middleweight champion Carlos Molina over 11 rounds. Adames gained invaluable experience when he sparred with pound-for-pound elite Terence Crawford roughly two years ago.

?I sparred some good rounds with Crawford, and I did very well against one of the best fighters in the world,? Adames said. ?That gave me a lot of confidence, and it showed me that I could go very far as a fighter.?

Standing in his way is Barrera (27-4, 17 KOs), a veteran from Monterrey, Mexico, whose only stoppage defeat came to current IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. in 2015.

?I?m going to leave it all in the ring and put on a great show for the fans that will be present at Madison Square Garden and for the millions that will be watching live on ESPN,? Adames said. ?I want to tell everyone to get their snacks and drinks ready because I am going for the knockout. Watch out. ?Caballo Bronco? is coming.??

Linares vs. Lomachenko and Adames vs. Barrera will be televised live and exclusively at 8:00 p.m. ET on ESPN and ESPN Deportes, and undercard bouts will stream live on ESPN+, available through the ESPN App, beginning at 4:30 p.m. ET.
