Adames vs Warburton preview: WBC middleweight world champion, Carlos Adames headlines Zuffa Boxing 13 in a non-title fight against Gerome Warburton in Riyadh on Saturday. Check out the Adames vs Warburton prediction below.
Indeed, Adames battles Warburton in a super middleweight clash at The Venue Riyadh Season. The card is available to watch live worldwide on Sky Sports in the UK and on Paramount+ in the USA.
The WBC approved Adames’ request to take part in a non-title bout above the 160-pound limit. However, if he loses to Warburton he will be stripped of his title.
Following a split decision draw with Hamzah Sheeraz, the Dominican then dropped Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams en route to a unanimous decision win in March.
Meanwhile, Warburton receives a huge opportunity following successive victories over Nathan Heaney.
It was the Welsh southpaw’s third straight victory since a fourth round stoppage defeat to Kieron Conway.
Adames vs Warburton prediction: Warburton is likely to cause some problems early on. However, I expect Adames to show levels here and stop the Brit by the halfway mark.
Moloney meets Teran
Elsewhere on the Adames vs Warburton preview, former bantamweight world champion Jason Moloney is in action. The Australian faces big-punching Mexican Andres Teran.
Teran scored a sixth round stoppage over Floyd Diaz in June. This marked his fifth straight win by knockout.

Moloney has won twice since successive defeats in Japan to Yoshiki Takei and Tenshin Nasukawa respectively.
Prediction: Moloney’s only stoppage defeat in four losses came against Naoya Inoue. However, I can see Teran halting him here.
