Kerman Lejarraga.... Brit-bashing Spanish Welterweight

Would be a good fight and he couldnt be written off against kelly due to his power and it would be a big step up for kelly.
Think he's an exciting fighter and will get to world level but won't beat the top guys like crawford and spence. Would like to see him in with Thurman but I think Thurman would be too cute for him

 

Let's be honest. Beating Skeete and Gavin doesn't mean much from a world level perspective. He will get exposed if he steps up to the world operators.

 

Frankie has great skills just never lived the life, he came in shocking condition for this fight and it's an insult to the Spanish promoters.

Epic crowd obviously closely liked to Athletic Bilbao. It's a shame Warrington isn't the same weight class as it would make for a cracking atmosphere. If Lejarraga had a viable British opponent I rekon he would bring a few thousand with him but looks like he is going the Showtime route as he is co promoted by Lou DiBella

 

He will struggle against elite, but I'd pay for a Brandon Rios vs Kerman Lejarraga on 2019 :-D

 

Good shout....Rios looked as if he is gonna give it 1 last go

 

If he really wanted it Gavin, he could still do better now..He just don't want it. If he sat down and had a word with himself, even at this stage and said right," this is my life for the next 2 yrs im gonna train like ****", the skills are there, the power isn't and never will be, but with top level fitness he can box and move and that can help his lack of power and having to stand there and trade as much or feel he has to go for it because his knackered. With dedication he would've beat everyone that beat him bar Brook, even with Eggingtons size advantage Gavin should've boxed rings round him, just never wanted it like he should have at any time of his career

 

Kerman

 

He will need a granite chin to compete with the top dogs

 

reminds me of Lucas Matthysse -- who seems to have retired now but if he comes back that would make for a good fight

I think he would beat Rios

 

A tough kid, he's a handful for anyone, I expect him to be UD'd regular though right at the top

 

was just going to say Josh would have him hitting thin air and landing counters

 

His promoter Lou DiBella compares him to the late Arturo Gatti.
He is more like Kelly Pavlik in that he is huge for his division and his power
and style will lead to so exciting bouts.
However i feel if he fights the division best like Crawford, Spence and Porter
he will be exposed.
