Las Vegas-based trainer Kenny Adams has worked with some fine talent during his time in the sport, from the likes of former champions Vince Phillips, Kennedy McKinney, Ray Mercer, the late Diego Corrales and others while also leading the 1988 U.S. Olympic team to three gold, three silver, and two bronze medals. And a recent visit to Bones Adams personal gym in Las Vegas showed just how much the 71-year old still has left, as he worked vigorously while overseeing the duties of emerging lightweight contender Sharif Bogere. Bogere, a Ugandan native now living in Nevada, faces off with unbeaten Francisco Contreras on Friday night in the main event of ShoBox card, and Adams, a former U.S. Army master sergeant, loves his work ethic and attentiveness. Contreras is a bit of an enigma to most fight fans but the Dominican-born, New Jersey resident has a bit of power and a smoothness about his style that should mesh well with the aggressive nature of Bogere.
