Indian boxing star Vijender Singh demolished Ghana\u2019s former Commonwealth champion Charles Adamu to claim his 12th successive win and ensure that his four-year unbeaten streak in the professional circuit remained intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 34-year-old former Olympic bronze-medallist, who holds the WBO Asia Pacific and Oriental super middleweight belts, prevailed in a unanimous verdict in an eight-round contest against the 42-year-old Adamu on Friday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Indian\u2019s right hand was just too precise and powerful to handle for Adamu, who looked intimidated, kept a shell guard, and was thrown off-balance more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was a good fight, Charles Adamu is a good fighter but I was fully prepared to tackle his punches and landed my punches perfectly on him. It\u2019s great to be here in Dubai and to get this win. It was really exciting,\u201d Vijender said after the bout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ghanian also copped a point deduction in the fourth round for excessive bending. To Adamu\u2019s credit, he fought through despite the onslaught and ensured that the bout went the full distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adamu came into this fight with an experience of 47 bouts, of which he had won 33. The Ghanian is also an Olympian and won a bronze medal for his country in the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur during his amateur days.But Adamu\u2019s wealth of experience didn\u2019t seem enough against an opponent, who was quicker and more powerful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
