Fox Sports 1: Jamal James vs. Abel Ramos & Edner Cherry vs. Dennis Galarza RBR.

Jamal James vs. Abel Ramos, 10 rounds @ welterweight

 

whoever the pbc matchmaker is, hes starting to do pretty damn good lately.

 

Decent range of scores. I had Galarza winning the first three, and Cherry taking the rest. I guess you could make a case that Dennis outworked Edner in the 8th to narrow the margin of defeat, but there was no way you could justify Galarza taking any more than that.

 

Shango with a strong first, just beating Ramos to the punch consistently and laying the 1-2 and double jab on him, sinking rights on the body. Ramos doing his customary slow-starting routine, settling in, testing the waters with double jabs up top, picking off some shots. Shango hurts him late with a right.

 

10-9 James

 

James - Ramos

1: 10:9

James starts aggressive, while Ramos is doing almost nothing.

 

Round 1: 10-9 James

10-9 James

 

James' chin betraying him as expected.

Actually earlier than expected.

 

james sticks his chin out when hooking with his right, inside, if ramos can time a short right hook, he can drop him.... just shoot it when you see him **** his shoulder.

 

Lapidary, what can I add... Ana Ivanovic perhaps, almost no make up here:

Round 1: 10-9 James
Round 2: 10-9 Ramos

19-19

 

James - Ramos

1: 10:9
2: 10:9

Better from Ramos, but still a very low workrate. If he gets hit anyway, why not throwing some punches while it happens?
