Comments Thread For: Josh Kelly Faces Peter Kramer on Wasserman Card in Liverpool

[M111]

He left Matchroom and Eddie Hearn just so he can fight opponents like this?

I remember Kelly getting So Much Hype and Avanesyan Ruined It ALL...well actually he was exposed in the Ray Robinson fight in which they saves his 0 with a BS Draw

Did you actually watch the Robinson fight? I don’t get where this false narrative of being lucky to get a draw comes from. The US I suspect. Kelly walked the first 9 rounds easily, it wasn’t even vaguely close. Robinson tagged him late and he ran and held for the last couple of rounds. That doesn’t make it even vaguely a draw. Robinson was the lucky one and got the draw due to a hometown decision. I do agree it wasn’t a great fight for Kelly, but I’ve been watching fights for 40 odd years and in no way was that fight a draw.

That is your Opinion, we can agree to disagree, he started off fast and very well Kelly typically does but he is a Front Runner, he fades same thing happened vs Avanesyan. Punches start landing on him more and more and he is not as slick as he think he is and the Fake Roy Jones Jr. stuff with his hands down don't work for him especially when he gets tired

I don’t disagree with that entirely. He does fade and his reactions do let him down when he fades against better opposition definitely. I just think in the Robinson fight Ray barely landed anything until perhaps 8th or 9th on. I don’t see how it could possibly be construed a draw on that basis unless he’d had multiple knockdowns in the last 4 rounds. So far the only comments I’ve seen on line claiming it was a draw have all been from Americans which leads me to think they are entirely for partisan reasons and not due to an unbiased view of what actually took place.

I still believe Josh Kelly will do something big in the sport. But he's got to get busy now. 1 fight in 2 and a half years is not a good look.
