Kevin Kelley In Action Tonight

Kevin Kelley fights Sandro Marcos, Marcos stopped 38 year old Johnny Tapia in 2 rounds can he spring the same on a 38 year old Kevin Kelley

Hes a win some lose some fighter, Kelley at 38 can't have many fights left in him either.

I can't see it myself, I'm going for Kelley to win but I can't see where he plans on going in this late stage of his career.

With all the Naz talk on and Kelley fighting Im watching Naz Vs Kelley at the moment for old time sake!

Christ! Kelleys been shot for god knows how long!... he was far past his best when he fought Hamed... he really should hang them up!... :(

Surely Kelley should have hung them up by now? It was painful to watch Barrera destroy him a few years back. As Silkov says, he was past his best when Hamed beat him.

I agree, he should hang the gloves up. 38 years old in lower weights is crazy, don't see the point in it really to be honest.

Kelley was good in his day and his peak was before Naseem.

In a recent article Graham Houston said he bumped into Kelley at a big fight and Kelley insisted he was going to win a world title again

So sad

Yes, its very sad when you have these guys who just can't or don't want to accept the fact that they are through. Kelley was really at around his peak in the early to mid 90s... it reminds me a bit of Saad Muhammad who fought on for over 10 years after when he really should have quit.

Well Kelley ko'd the guy in the 4th round. Sounds like an exciting scrap with both guys hitting the deck.

It did sound a good fan's watching fight. This guy certainly has a will to win, stopping Tapia and dropping Kelley.

Hopefully Kelley will hang them up and go out now having a final back and forward battle for the fans, or I see it all ending in tears for him.

Better to go out on a winning note, he beat the guy who last beat Tapia. Nice little ending for the New Yorker

I see where your coming from but he can still make money fighting C level fighters as he is a popular guy, but i wouldnt like to see him against any of the top guys.

Thats true he could get money fighting around the C level fighters, but I think Kelley believes he has another title in him and thats the problem I think thats arising.

Would like to see this last match.
