A boxer who looks like Muhammad Ali won once again Saturday, beating Joseph Adorno by decision

• Michel Rivera returned another win Saturday at a PBC on Showtime boxing event.
• Rivera, renowned for looking like Muhammad Ali, plays on the comparison.

A lightweight boxer who is renowned for bearing a likeness to heavyweight great Muhammad Ali won once again Saturday as he out-pointed his opponent at a Premier Boxing Champions on Showtime event.

Michel Rivera, 24, has accelerated through the 135-pound division because of the punching prowess he exhibited in previous fights — like the time he delivered a spectacular knockout against Jon Fernandez last year.

Rather than load up on power punches against his weekend opponent Joseph Adorno, Rivera seemed to rely primarily — if not wholly — on his jab.

Rivera controlled the match by throwing 320 jabs and landing 72 for a 23% accuracy, limiting Adorno to a mere 30 jabs landed in the entire fight.

"That was four months of practising in camp," Rivera said after the win, in a statement sent to Insider.

He continued: "I was looking for the knockout but that undefeated guy is tough. I know him. He's a power-puncher but the aggression that 'Ali' has is too much.

"Everybody now knows me," Rivera said. "I say that I am the reincarnation of Muhammad Ali because I work so hard. I work so hard so the people are comparing me to Muhammad Ali."

He later added: "I used my jab to great success tonight. You see how Muhammad Ali had a great jab? That's what I used tonight to do what I had to do to win."

Rivera reiterated his desire to fight one of the most ferocious punchers

Rivera said earlier this week that he would be willing to fight Gervonta 'Tank' Davis, who is one of the most formidable power punchers in the fight game.

"I want Tank," he said. "He has my belt. I want what is mine. That's the guy that I want next. After he beats [Rolando] Rolly, I'm ready to take my belt."

Rivera awarded himself an A grade for the way he boxed through the 10-rounder.

He now wants to be put straight into 12-round fights with championship titles on the line.

"I'm definitely ready for a world title shot," Rivera said.
