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

3-1 James. Palmetta had two or three good sequences but by and large James kind of strafed him from distance for most of the fourth.

 

And James comes back and looks real good.

He seems a bit frail but he has the tools to control this.

 

4-1 James

 

4 - 1 James

 

James looks tired but now Palmetta is slowing down too.

Not to be trite but this is going to be a "who wants it more" situation.

 

Round 1 - 10-9 James
Round 2 - 10-9 James
Round 3 - 10-9 Palmetta
Round 4 - 10-9 James
Round 5 - 10-9 James

James 49-46

 

For the life of me, I can't understand why James is bending over.

 

4-1 James. Extremely close round; I think Pametta did hurt James with a hook to the body but James landed pretty consistently to the head and that allowed him shade another frame. Could call it even, to be honest.

 

5-1 James

Palmetta on his front foot for most of the round but not landing enough.

 

James act like he wanna quit.
