Carlos Adames is defending his WBC Middleweight Championship tonight against Austin “Ammo” Williams. This matchup was originally scheduled for earlier this year, but Adames had to withdraw due to illness. This fight is taking place at the Caribe Royale Orlando in Orlando, Florida.
Check out my best bet below for tonight’s Carlos Adames vs. Austin Williams fight.
Carlos Adames by Decision or Technical Decision (+140)
Adames is 24-1-1 with 18 knockouts, while Williams’ record stands at 20-1 with 13 wins by knockout. Williams and Adames share a common opponent with Hamzah Sheeraz. Adames fought Sheeraz to a split decision draw while Williams lost via TKO. In 2019, Adames suffered his first career loss to Patrick Teixeira but has since gone on a seven-fight unbeaten streak. This is Adames’ second defense of the WBC Middleweight title, and he is attempting to successfully defend it for the first time.
On DraftKings Sportsbook, Adames is a -380 favorite while Williams is a +260 underdog. The over/under is set at 10.5 rounds with the over being -190. Adames is also +140 to win this bout by KO/TKO/DQ and via decision. In this bout, Williams is taller (6’0″ vs. 5’11”) while having a reach advantage (78″ vs. 73″). I give the advantage to the more experienced fighter in this contest with Adames. Williams has been more active than Adames, but he has beaten two lower-level opponents. When Adames is the aggressor, he does a good job of getting the better of his opponents.
