    Somebody I know up here knows a bit about him. He's mentioned him a few times. He's definitely one to watch but it's all about levels, isn't it. One minute they look like the second coming of SRR the next minute they run into a style they can't handle and they look a little exposed and everybody fancies beating them.

    Have to love the talent. But I think he is building his own ceiling by abandoning fundamentals. When he meets equal talent he could be in trouble. But he's fun to watch.

    He looks the goods. With 4 or less fights Sirenko or Hrgovic deserve a mention. Cordina looks good. Shimizu is one to watch. Stanionis. There are a number of prospects with around 8 - 15 fights that are also noteworthy.

    His stlye is very eye catching. I'd like to see him keep his hands up more as his opposition improves.

    They said the same things about Herol Graham and Roy Jones but they never changed. It is inbuilt in his style.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Just an observation, not everyone can be Jones. That aggression is great too, although he'll need to hone it in against better guys, he left himself open a few times for counters while in all out assault. He didn't need to worry about what was coming back in this fight. This stuff can be worked on and its still early days in his pro career.

    Okay, trouble came long before the top. Hopefully now he will learn the fundamentals because he can’t Roy

    Laughable how boxing fans rubbished this young fella after the Robinson draw. Terrific learning fight for a prospect against a proven solid consistent guy (I understand the Americans seeing him for the first time not liking the "Roy" style, it's par for the course for the foreigner to get hate)

    He's back on the big Jacobs-Chavez Jr card this Friday.

    Laughable is your constant complete BS. Nobody rubbished him. I said 2 years ago when he meets equal talent he could be in trouble. So I didn’t change anything after Ray as you lied. I had it right from jump street unlike you. And still I haven’t rubbished him, I said I hoped he would learn to use fundamentals to meet his talent. But I appreciate that you are a consistent lying POS. It’s nice that the posts are so close together so people can see you being a lying POS. Have you ever made an accurate talent assessment? You can see mine was spot on. Seriously, do you know anything about talent or can you only lie? Perhaps that’s the difference between someone that works in the sport and someone who is quite clear about their biases. Oh, and what did I say your biases were “by race and country I can always tell you Fensters opinion”, just yet another coincidence how your opinion falls right?

    Time after time after time I can point out how your opinion coincidentally falls exactly the same. I’ve watched it for years. But it’s just coincidences right?

    The Robinson bout was a good learning fight for Kelly, lucky he was the promoters guy. Might have had a loss on the record otherwise. His withdrawal from the Avanesyan fight was also concerning. I hope he has corrected his team and training camps because he does have talent.

    What happened to all his buzz and following . Looks like the Avanesyan is finally coming off this Saturday picked up by Dazn. On paper looks fairly competitive but as is the norm in as of late both off of a year+ away.

    Edit...Smash had it covered with sticky good on ya .
