Boxing - Digging up old Bones

When Clarence ?Bones? Adams got the call to step into the ring on Wednesday night?s ESPN2 card, it wasn?t to feature him as a former world champion trying to make a comeback after three years of oblivion, but to use a recognizable name as an opponent against undefeated rising star Leon Bobo.

?They called me up,? says Adams, ?wanting me and my name. It wasn?t like I picked him out.

?No?I was the underdog.?

Adams, 42-6-4 (19 KOs), has been out of the limelight for over four years, since his two losses to Paulie Ayala?one, a controversial loss, one not?and split decision loss to Guty Espadas. Last October, however, after a three-year lay-off, Adams staged his first fight of an attempted comeback, eking out an eight-round split win over veteran Armando Cordova (21-28-2), weighing in eight pounds heavier than his old fighting weight.

?They don?t think I can fight anymore,? says Adams. ?So, it?s up to me to go out there and show ?em differently.?

Since being signed to fight the 16-0 Lobo for the vacant NABO featherweight title, however, things have changed?at least the underdog tag Adams had expected to wear into the ring Wednesday night at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

On Friday, Bobo pulled out of the fight due to an injury sustained in sparring. Replacing Bobo on short notice is Duke City super bantamweight David Martinez, who, at 17-2-1 (3 KOs), was preparing to fight veteran Paulino Villalobos in a six- or eight-round swing bout on the card. While the status of a title fight is still unknown, Adams and Martinez will go ten rounds in the co-main to the Holly Holm vs. Chevelle Hallback feature.

While the underdog status has now been swapped for favored-to-win, Adams is still fighting with the same motivation?to prove himself as a viable contender and earn another world title shot.

?I?m prepared for anything that comes at me,? says Adams. ?I?m ready to show the difference between my last fight and where I?m at now. I?m here to be a world champion again.?

Adams says his trouble began with his first fight against Paulie Ayala?a fight he, and many others, thought he won.

?I won that fight and they took it from me,? recalls Adams. ?I should?ve listened to Johnny Tapia, who called me shortly before the fight. He said, ?Don?t let it to go a decision, bro, or they?ll take it from you.? And he was right.?

In the rematch, there was little controversy?a clear-cut decision for Ayala, instead of the split in the first match.

?That first fight messed with me, mentally,? says Adams. ?I wasn?t the same after that and, after the next two fights, I thought I?d take some time off. I didn?t want to embarrass myself and the sport.

?Looking back now, it was wrong of me. I see things different now. I didn?t have to take it that way, but the losses bothered me a lot.?

In his down time, Adams says his weight ballooned up from too much partying.

?I wasn?t happy with myself,? says Adams. ?I partied too much, enjoyed life a little too much, did things I shouldn?t have been doing.?

With the help of manager Greg Hanley, Adams got his act together and returned to the gym, struggling to whittle down his weight to the 131 he weighed for the fight in October.

?It took everything out of me to get there,? says Adams. ?But I?m already on target for this fight. I probably trained three months for that last one . . . but it felt good to fight again.

?As soon as I got in the ring, I knew why?d I?d come back. When the bell rang, I was home.?

The Henderson, Kentucky native currently resides in Las Vegas, Nev., and lives three doors down from his trainer, Buddy McGirt. As of May 11, he?s also the proud father of his first son, Achilles Bones Adams.

?Things are going good for me now,? says Adams. ?This is my chance to come back-and I?ve always wanted to fight in Albuquerque.

?The fight fans there are going to see the real Bones Adams, the one who wanted to fight instead of just go through the motions. They?re going to see the old Bones Adams.?
