I'd much rather see these fights too,particualraly a Sturm fight where I favour Kelly but see him having some problems with Sturms jab and movement at times(although winning in the end) Duddy doesn't deserve anything,let's be honest,the only appeal with him is that he;s an Irish dude with a huge following in the States. He's a decent fighter at best,cuts like crazy and has had close fights v Yory Boy(he lost that),Botsante and now Smichet.
better than duddy i suppose, i would like to see him fight abraham in the future
I know Giovanni Lorenzo would love to take that fight, but I don't know if he's ready, I think Sturm would get ktfo, but who knows this is boxing after all. Still no mention of Winky....
I'm with you, Abraham is more deserving than Sturm, Lorenzo or Duddy.Quote:

No Contest mentioned Wright who is also deserving at 160 & I would mind seeing but I just don't know what Wright wants to do anymore
Arum doesn't want to make the Winky fight for 2 main reasons: He said that Winky is boring and Kelly needs to be against someone exciting in order to increase his fanbase and 2.imo Winky is too high risk low reward. He jst lost and looked awful v B Hop,let him fight someone at 160 first,re-establish himself. He had the chance to rematch Taylor,could have done so,won the unified titles and been in a higher place but HE chose to fight B Hop v 170,I said it was a foolish move then and it looks even more so now.
AA may be more deserving but you tell me,has AA shown any interest to even fight in the USA?Who is he fighting next,the guy that lost twice to Banks?
I agree Abraham is not fighting top opposition, I just feel he's more deserving. He beats Miranda but gets a broken jaw & is out of the loop for awhile. Pavlik defeats Miranda & gets his opportunity against Taylor. Abraham is just as deserving as Pavlik was IMO.Quote:

In saying that I'm not sure either how confident Abraham would be to take the fight...
Aaaah,right,I understand,sorry about that. Yeah,of course an AA fights makes more sense but he hasn't shown so Kelly can't sit around and wait for him.
