Justin Ledet vs. Chase Sherman
R1: The uncomfortably giddy Ledet engages Sherman with nothing but a mile-wide grin to start the bout. Sherman attacks with a jab and a kick and Ledet holds his ground, firing back a one-two. Long, nasty jab from Ledet, then a clean right cross and another jab. They both connect simultaneously. Sherman cracks Ledet’s lead leg with a pair of outside low kicks, both unchecked.
Sherman with a nice outside low kick and jab combo. Now Sherman flings a three-piece flurry and closes it with a clean low kick. Ledet dings him with a straight shot upstairs. Ledet lands a jab, eats a punch and wades forward to land a knee to the body. These boys are throwin’ hard and often. Sherman counters with a right hook to the body, then a left hook upstairs. Ledet bores two long and straight punches through as the turbulent, seesaw rhythm continues. 10-10 (volume to Sherman, damage to Ledet).
