See,I thought the opposite in a way,Those are different styles and as the mantra goes,especially after this one it seems....Styles make fights.Could very well be Kelly was fine and Hopkins was "not the same" or different opposed to his recent pedestrian outings....He initiated the offense,Multiple combinations,brought the missing left hook off the jab,etc.It's all about Cause & effect when the styles clash.The reason he could not implement his game plan was that Hopkins had more and was faster at implementing his.

I think Kelly needs some time,Don't rush back into some huge mega fight for the spotlight and end up another also ran.He has to find some gears and this one can be a physiological load to bare.
