[edit] Professional career

Known as "Bones", Adams turned pro in 1990 and in 2000 defeated Andres Fernandez for the WBC super bantamweight title by 6th round TKO. The fight ended when the referee stopped the fight and the ringside physician, Dr. Armando Sanchez, determined that Fernandez could not continue due to cuts.

Adams defended the title one time before vacating to fight Paulie Ayala. He lost the bout by split decision in 2001, and also lost a rematch in 2002. Adams retired in 2003 after drawing with journeyman Manuel Sepeda, but returned to boxing in 2006.
