Kelly v Avanesyan - EBU Welterweight title - 20/2/21 SKY/DAZN

Kell Brook rates Avanesyan so let's see if Kelly is potentially World level.
Kelly has superfast hands and throws punches from all angles and is great to watch if you've not seen him yet.

Brook told Sky Sports about Avanesyan: "I've sparred with the guy and he's a real handful. You can give him some big licks but he keeps coming and he adjusts.

its good the boxing is starting up again

im looking forward to this one much more than the josh warrington fight on saturday

It definitely will be a good win for Kelly, if i'm dubious about anything with him going further its his power

hopefully this fight is the fight he really shows he has some

Johnny Nelson said after the Warrington fight that Avanesyan busted up Kell Brooks ribs a few years ago in sparring.
Big test for Kelly this one.

Any indicator on a solid start time for this one tomorrow? Could be a real slept on must see scrap. It is baffling how little ranking Kelly has regardless of time off etc. Highest I can see is #15 by a single Alphabet group. That's just insane.

Maybe lack of fights and the draw on the record? There's a decent crop in the welters and a good numbr of unbeatens so not really a surprise. He might well be top 20, but he doesn't have the record to support that.

Will 100% start in London between 9.30pm - 10pm
No idea what part of the USA you are though
Got gut feeling Avanesyan is gonna walk straight through Kelly and bang him out.
Avanesyans last 3 performances imo are far better than Kelly's have been and he looks solid.
Kelly might have to box and move to win this.
Could be a Warrington outcome of he stands and trades.
We don't know enough about what Kellys really made of yet which makes this fight intriguing.

Kelly "stand and trade"

He's gonna have to sooner or later if he's as good as he thinks he is.
I know you rate him highly as I do, he's got all the talent and natural skills you could wish for and is a top prospect but let's not blow too much smoke up his asshole just yet 😁
For me that chin of his is totally untested and the Russian will 100% test it tonight.
If he can take a genuine hard shot he's on his way.
For me though Kelly is wide open for a beating 👊🏻😉

Wondering if Valenzuela took a flight over with Lara from last week. Gave Davies Jr a beating that last round. Glad the judges got it right.

Testing

Josh wins first round fast hands and good accuracy against Avanesyan.

Avanesyan wobbled with a left hook in the 2nd round but fighting back now seems to have cut Kelly.

2 nil Josh

Shit I was posting in other thread.

Although Kelly is winnig these rounds they are close and hard work. Avanesyan giving Kelly a hard time.

3nil

He could do with Mick Williamson in his corner.
