Fighting at 154lbs. How do we see this one going? Nurse can box and has the better skillset IMO but I think Lejarraga will be too much for Nurse at light middle and will hand him his first KO loss.
Nice crossroads fight this one, I would fancy Nurse for an outside bet but not sure how much he's got left in the tank. I do not think it will be a Frankie Gavin/Bradley Skeet type night for Lejarraga.
Nurse is pretty feather-fisted (7 KOs from 37 wins) and that's the majority of his career at 140. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Spaniard just walk right through Nurse's punches and eventually wear him down to a stoppage. Hope I'm wrong though, I'll root for the Brit in most fights and Nurse seems like a nice fella as well.
Nurse up at 147 worries me, but he is very tall so maybe he gas always been weight drained at 140ib. We will see. He hasnt been very active since he left Matchroom. Shame.
Nurse can box but he more often than not gets dragged into a dog fight, if he had snap i think he could have got to european level. Does his dad still train him?
KL gets to Nurse, too strong and punches hard enough to force a stoppage, I think around middle rounds.
Kinda surprised KL hasn't skipped 154. He was huuuge at welter, and imo will still be very tight at 154!
Can see a Skeets type night here which saddens me as i enjoy watching Nurse in the more suitable weight class
