Max Kellerman on Adames v McKenna: "I do not know who wins that fight"
Kellerman said on the Zuffa Boxing 13 post-fight show that Carlos Adames has accomplished more at middleweight than IBF champion Aaron McKenna, who is back in action on 4 December.
Max Kellerman, an analyst on the Zuffa Boxing 13 post-fight show, said "I do not know who wins that fight" about a possible meeting between WBC middleweight champion Carlos Adames and IBF champion Aaron McKenna.
Kellerman spoke after Adames beat Gerome Warburton by unanimous decision in Riyadh on Saturday. He said Adames "needs to be ranked number 1" on the merits and has "simply accomplished more than McKenna at middleweight". He then said: "That said, I don't know who wins that fight. I do not know who wins that fight. Like, I'd love to see it."
McKenna is back in action on 4 December at Zuffa Boxing 14. Adames came through the Warburton fight as the WBC champion in a non-title bout at a 165lb catchweight, and Denzel Bentley has named both champions as his targets for 2027.
Kellerman also gave his view on Warburton on the same show, saying the Welshman "went into the fight not believing he belonged there".
