Saying that - you two are moaning !

I had Kelly winning the first 4 and doing enough in the last 6.
Hard to see how that was a gift ? Or a bad draw ?

Close hard fight. Kelly blew a lead, Ray didn't do quite enough...

Not gifted. Was a tight fight of very limited clean hitting. Hope it's a wake up call to his style/approach.

Absolutely. It was painful to watch Kelly.

All 3 judges had it close - don't think anyone is gonna be moaning about that dec.

Are we being hard on Kelly ?
That's not a bad result/performance for his first real test away from home.

As long as he learns and improves, only his 9th fight etc...

I would have had Kelly nicking it as well by 1 - he started bright then faded and made it a scrap with brought Robinson into the fight.

What's up next on the card?

Here's to hoping Booth does a better job with Joyce.

If you can’t put fighters away that style is always going to be a struggle.

Posted: **01 Jun 2019, 20:29**

I'm not moaning. I backed the draw at 28/1 on bet365 in play at the start of round 7.

He’ll get mullered of the top boys playing that game.

Yeah, Roy originated the style so it was natural to him. It also worked because, as you say, he could KO you.

Kelly's borrowing his style, which is why it doesn't work and he's eating punches, and he doesn't hit hard enough to contain decent opponents.

Exactly. RJJ built that style around him KO'ing boxers.

Joyce will always lumber forward - he’ll move a bit more but his style and age he won’t change much now at this stage.

"All show" and "no go" never won any championships, unless you're Tyson Fury!

It's his defense I'm hoping to see improvement on. He should adopt the Norton cross arms. Easy to do and would do him a lot of good as he steps up.

As Kelly’s moved up levels he’s not even looking like hurting the opponent - he’s got speed but KO power once above Domestic isn’t there at present.

I sense we are about to have Adam Smith's witless drivel ruin the action....

Yip - Him & Froch id suspect.

Kelly vs Robinson rematch anyone ?

Over 12 ?
Would be good for both.

Don’t know, it wasn’t particularly exciting.

I think stepping him back a little wouldn’t hurt. No need to rush him, maybe in two or three fights.

I couldn't bare to watch that again. Kelly needs to get some offense. That bit will never do at the next level. He'd get blathered.

Oof, what's Claudia's accent? That was grating.

Posted: **01 Jun 2019, 20:38**

Froch is so rubbish.

Paul Smith is great, Paulie is the best, Andy Lee has a calm authority, Bellew is passionate.

KT is great.
Unifying will be a fine achievement, but Undisputed in the Women's is only equivalent to being an alphabet champ in the mens - if that.
