Kelly Rolls To Fourth Straight In Continued Boxing Comeback

Super feather Kevin Kelly, “The Flushing Flash”, rolled back the years Friday night on a shared Top Rank/8 Count promotion bill from Cicero Stadium near Chicago by knocking out seasoned veteran Juan Carlos “Ranchero” Ramirez in the second round. Kelly, 58-6-2 (39), a highly respected former WBC and WBU Featherweight Champion, wasted no time in hunting down his tough Mexican opponent and by the second round the New Yorker was detonating huge left hands off the jaw of Ramirez. “Ranchero” never made it out of that southpaw firestorm and Kelly gets his fourth consecutive win since losing to mulit-weight legend Marco Antonio Barrera almost two years ago. At thirty eight years of age, Kelly has been trading leather in the paid ranks since 1998 and won his first forty one contests without a loss. Aside from the Barrera reversal, Kelly has only come up short against Erik Morales, Naseem Hamed, Alejandro Gonzalez, Derrick Gainer and Benito Rodriguez.
