Subriel Ahmed Matías vs. Jeremías Nicolás Ponce & Jamal Ahammad James vs. Alberto Palmetta RBR

Round 1 - 10-9 James
Round 2 - 10-9 James

James 20-18

Palmetta had his moments but James throwing more and landing more.

 

20-18 Shango. Palmetta landed the harder shots and a couple of them were definitely eye catching. But James landed more and generally controlled distance in the second. Quantity over quality this time around.

 

2-1 James. Gave palmetta the 3rd

 

2 - 1 James

 

Round 1 - 10-9 James
Round 2 - 10-9 James
Round 3 - 10-9 Palmetta

James 29-28

I'll take Palmetta's quality over James' quantity in round 3.

 

Last two rounds I've given Palmetta. James is way more active but way less accurate. Palmetta is delivering the more eye catching and accurate punches.

 

2-1 James. Palmetta kind of knocked James off balance with a right hook and that tipped the balance toward him in a close third.

 

James is starting to fray. Palmetta sticking to his game plan and it's working.

 

Why does James always stick around at mid range after getting his shots off?

Palmetta has been waiting for him to fire off his combos and then tries to counter right after with shorter punches inside, you'd think with that kind of reach advantage James would try to pick him off and force Palmetta to initiate the exchanges

 

3-1 James

 

3 - 1 James

 

Round 1 - 10-9 James
Round 2 - 10-9 James
Round 3 - 10-9 Palmetta
Round 4 - 10-9 James

James 39-37

Very good round for James who managed to evade Palmetta's power for most of the round.
