Kerman Lejarraga vs. James Metcalf | DAZN - 20 May 2022

[JamesPhilips]

Ah! Great to see Kerman still has the rat tail. I though he might’ve cut it off

[maverick23]

Looks good this Noriega.

Yeah - good fight this.

[Dioufy]

You don’t wanna be having this type of fight against this type of fighter at 38.

[Dioufy]

117-109 superb little fighter Jairo Noriega. He’s 28 so hopefully gets moved along quickly.

Nope although not many 38 year olds are as fit as Moreno.

He’s tough tbh. That 2nd knockdown was brutal.

[Fightnight Scores]

Crowd booing Diamante then

[JamesPhilips]

Does the miracle man Diamante not realise that most Spanish don’t speak English?

[Dioufy]

I’m intimidated by how thick Metcalf’s back is.

[skanksta]

JJ gotta keep the pace up, but a good start so far.
I think he maybe nicked R1 but you'd imagine Kerm will get it.

10-9 KL

[Coco]

Comical that Diamante is trying to whip up the crowd, but is doing it in English! Most folk from Bilbao don't even speak Spanish let alone English!
While I reckon Metcalf will win, I am right behind Kerman

[JamesPhilips]

I’m intimidated by how thick Metcalf’s back is.

He looks enormous and in great shape

[maverick23]

Good first round. Metcalf looks a weight bigger.

[JxhDel.]

Miguez/Moorcroft was a toe-to-toe affair with some nice counters and body shots. Mendoza and Meija spammed hooks, the first one was faster, fun bout too. I have to reprise Noriega/Moreno but now Kerman time (Metcalf has an absurdly bullish physique tonight)

[skanksta]

I’m intimidated by how thick Metcalf’s back is.

Yeah, needs to keep it rough and high-paced.
Lots of wrasslin' !

[Coco]

Good fight, warming up nicely, not a lot in it but Metcalf is more accurate and has some the first 2 for me

[skanksta]

Agree, but I'd imagine some home-cooking so I got KL ahead.

Kerm doesn't look too bad tonight - less chinny than of late. Looked shot to bits 2 fights ago.

[maverick23]

Should have been a knock down. I’ve got Metcalf 29-28.

[Coco]

3-0 Mefcalf

[JxhDel.]

29 - 28 Metcalf. Kerman is out of focus tonight, Metcalf is a compact one-man-posse not just for his physique.

[maverick23]

38-38. Good close fight.

[Coco]

Agree, but I'd imagine some home-cooking so I got KL ahead.

Kerm doesn't look too bad tonight - less chinny than of late. Looked shot to bits 2 fights ago.

I would expect home cooking too, but I'm scoring it as I see it rather than predicting how the judges will go!
Let's see if Steve Tray goes for the home boy!

[gregregegg]

Its a close fight, thats a huge missed knockdown.... if a judge has a clean look at that got to be tempted to just give it 10-8...

[maverick23]

48-47 Metcalf

[chiggsy]

Lerrajagas been broken up by metcalfs jab looks like hes done 12 rounds already
