Sam's shipped some punishment over the years.

Kelly points.

Love this fight.

Sam is the guy to take it to Kelly. He won't worry about what's coming at him and should apply constant pressure.
I believe Kelly flusters when it isn't going his way. Love for him to prove me wrong.
Hopefully it is 12 and not 10 rounds, I think this is a fight that needs to go long.

Sam is a busted flush

Kelly smashes him to bits I think. Late stoppage or retirement.

I wouldn't mind Kelly v Hogan. I think it would be a nice swing up

It does seem like the natural progression - Hogan beats Egginton, then faces Kelly for the WBO or IBO or both of their secondary titles.
Hogan's crowd is in Oz though.

Hogans not big in aus (Mabey bigger than anywhere else I guess).

Josh Kelly vs Tim tszyu would be a belter. Tim has bigger fish to fry for now but one day…

True, he did get 4,500 against Sam Egginton, which is alright.
Tszyu as you say, waiting to fry bigger fish. I still think Kelly vs Egginton is an alright fight.

Not 50/50 maybe more 60/40 to Kelly so it could be worse.

I think that was probably more nikita tsZyu in Newcastle (Australia) Don’t know why but they love him there…

Hogans got some following in aus. But I think you would do just as well targeting the Irish in the UK. And eg is known there.

Kelly by stoppage 5-8 rounds.

Kelly will fall apart with sustained educated pressure, but I don't think egg is the fighter to do that.

Egg just needs to keep coming and keep coming hard.

Kelly needs to hurt him to stop him coming.

Be like the Skeete/Egg fight.

Maybe he will learn from that and improve the mental side of his game.

Kelly wins within 6. Sam, much as i like him, has got too many miles on the clock.

This is a bit like Wardley v Chisora

kelly is disappointingly inedible
