    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.

    Admittedly Angel Acosta is not British. But I'd put him up there with the list of best prospects in the world. His loss to Tanaka notwithstanding, he'll be back soon enough, and will probably be the next Puerto Rican champion.

    There's about a dozen other prospects that I feel could be special but they have had more fights than Kelly. I include Kelly among that group along with the others I mentioned earlier in this thread.

    Well... scratch Acosta from the list of best prospects. He's now WBO light flyweight champ.

    Fantastic quick short inside left hook for sure. But he is too much of a hot dog and he is going to get knocked out by a straight right down the pipe. He holds his left way too low and counsel his reflexes like Roy Jones

    Since Angel "Tito" Acosta is now champ, I've got another prospect I'd like to insert here: Jean Carlos "Chapito" Rivera
    He's got some pop and looks promising.

    Taking on faded but still vastly more experienced former 154 title holder Carlos 'King' Molina next on Mar-31. Nice step up in class. This is how guys with big talent should be moved.
