Jerome Pampellone vs. Malik Zinad 12 Rounds @ Light Heavyweight

 

Round 1 Zinad 10-9

Even though he looks like a deer caught in the headlights, with his eyes literally bugging out. Zinad controlling range quite well, jabbing well and nailed him with sharp one twos every time he tried to close it.

 

I've had a sneaking suspicion for a while that Pampellone would all apart at world level, Zinad isn't world level, so he might not even take that long.

 

Round 1 Zinad 10-9
Round 2 Zinad 10-9

The speed, reach and accuracy of Zinad is an issue. He's just laying back picking him apart. Might have even stunned him a bit with a one two. Jerome lands a decent hook, Zinad takes right back over.

 

Round 1 Zinad 10-9
Round 2 Zinad 10-9
Round 3 Pampellone 10-9

Zinad's nose is bleeding, still doing his thing, but Jerome has picked up the pressure, is closing the distance much better and is nailing him with clean work far more often. Jerome working the body quite well now.

 

Yarde, Richards, Azeez, Buatsi and Callum Smith make mincemeat out of him.

 

Round 1 Zinad 10-9
Round 2 Zinad 10-9

Round 4 Zinad 10-9

Jerome pressuring him into the corner, looping in hooks up top, Zinad still jabbing quite well. Jerome throwing himself off balance flinging in wild haymakers. Jerome's eye is bloodied. Zinad is starting to roll with these shots a lot better. Zinad jabbing very well, following up with some nice rights. Jerome fighting like a wildman.
