Kelly got his ass whupped 1 time and he's been sulking about it ever since then....I think mentally he's shot, we've seen it before where a fighter loses once and they can't cope with it so they continue to look poor and lose fights....well Kelly is now on that path.

I think Williams could beat Kelly but I KNOW Martinez would
I agree with this post. I atempt to not be too hard on fighters sometimes coming off a loss but it's the way this one went down that bothered me... I mean, you look at guys like Cotto who has been fighting the best for years now even after he suffered setbacks... This whole fighting a hump 2 weeks after an original fightdate is bullshit. I think he was injured... I think the staff infection worsened it... I know he had multiple surgeries... But 14 days fixed all that? Sorry, I don't buy it. I think Kelly knew he wasn't 100% and decided to frustrate Williams with dates until he said, "fuck it!" I don't blame him... and instead we got a classic with 2 guys that WANT TO FIGHT THE BEST ALL THE TIME. Hell, I don't think ANYONE wants to fight either Martinez OR Williams after that hellacious affair!

Williams did the right thing in looking elsewhere and I commend him for it... And Martinez far taking on such a task. My hat off to both! They gave the fans what they wanted...

Pavlik gave the fans a shitty PPV beating up a guy who lost to Manfredo 3 years ago... Well done, Kelly.
