Re: Kelly v Avanesyan - EBU Welterweight title - 20/2/21 SKY/DAZN
Bloody 4th round this is hard for Josh but still winning for me.
4 nil
Re: Kelly v Avanesyan - EBU Welterweight title - 20/2/21 SKY/DAZN
Kelly leaves his chin hanging out too much.
Re: Kelly v Avanesyan - EBU Welterweight title - 20/2/21 SKY/DAZN
Josh slowing down and fighting more in the 5th which may be bad for him. Avanesyan is constantly pressuring Josh.
5 nil

Fuck me, I was just gonna post the longer it goes, the more Ava comes into it, then bang!
Re: Kelly v Avanesyan - EBU Welterweight title - 20/2/21 SKY/DAZN
Avanesyan stops Kelly in the 6th who looked shattered and battered.
Re: Kelly v Avanesyan - EBU Welterweight title - 20/2/21 SKY/DAZN
Great stamina from Avanesyan and great advice from his corner to keep on Kelly.
I’m pissed off because I was pretty big on Kelly.
But Stamina seemed an issue. Benn will start saying he’s got the game to beat Kelly, but I still don’t think he’s in Kelly’s class.
Re: Kelly v Avanesyan - EBU Welterweight title - 20/2/21 SKY/DAZN
Open now? TF. Fun while it lasted there Avanesyan came on like gangbusters.
Re: Kelly v Avanesyan - EBU Welterweight title - 20/2/21 SKY/DAZN
Wow good work from the soviet, wasn't expecting that at all.
Re: Kelly v Avanesyan - EBU Welterweight title - 20/2/21 SKY/DAZN
Simple over matched Avanesyan way to seasoned for Kelly Josh was over hyped bad matching by Hearn again.
Re: Kelly v Avanesyan - EBU Welterweight title - 20/2/21 SKY/DAZN
Basically Josh Kelly is an over rated glamour pussy 🤣
No way he's going to anywhere near world level.
European level and upward, you can have all the skills in the world but it ALWAYS ALWAYS.. comes down to 2 factors,
You either have a granite chin or you can punch like a motherfucker.
Fact

I wouldn't mind seeing Avanesyan again - well schooled pressure fighter, he just wasn't taking no for an answer.
Once upon a time British boxing was criticised for importing opponents to pad the UK fighters resumé.
Eddie's sacrifcing prospects like its not even a thing, he must really believe Joshua beats Fury :o
Re: Kelly v Avanesyan - EBU Welterweight title - 20/2/21 SKY/DAZN
That didn't go according to the script, again!
Great to see Avanesyan so happy at the post fight. Very likeable guy!
That was a good card!!
Going for a nap now before Berchelt-Valdez

Eddie is not having the best of times with his fighters at the moment. Lost last week and now again with his other Josh.
Avanesyan could be a world champion on that form maybe for Wba title?
Re: Kelly v Avanesyan - EBU Welterweight title - 20/2/21 SKY/DAZN
Avanesyan won’t trouble Crawford or Spence.
Josh kelly is talented but he should had x5 more fights before this one.
All that hands down low guard flashy stuff looks good against weaker fighters, but it wasn’t going to win him the fight against experience.

That's for sure Master, though one thing that was addressed was the judging tonight.
Valenzuela vs Davis Jr was pretty competitive and some rounds were close so I was happy it to see it scored justifiably.
Actually, I really enjoyed the undercard tonight.
I'm not saying it was anything spectacular, all undercard should be of this calibre... But I just found the fights pretty compelling.
Yeah Avanesyan has potential for sure.
I don't see Hearn going for a rematch here, so yeah the WBA route would be a nice idea.
