Re: Kelly v Avanesyan - EBU Welterweight title - 20/2/21 SKY/DAZN
Tough loss that. Even when Kelly was having success he still looked like he was getting beaten up. Reddening up around the face, unlucky with the two cuts. All added to the overall picture that he was being busted up and drowned at some stage. Strange 5th round (I think) where he tried to impose his size and strength on Avanesyan and push him around. It worked, but he threw next to no punches so Avanesyan just went with it and allowed it.
Great job by Avanesyan and his team. Quality operator and a simple game plan executed perfectly. Drown him, don't let him breath. Eventually Kelly broke.
