    Great, great fight night. I was visiting a friend on his job across the street at 3 Penn Plaza. It was after 9PM and he asked me if I wanted to go. You already know the answer. We got there before the main event. I don't even remember the Jones-McKinney fight, but there was some goods in the stands trying to start fights with Prince Naseem fans. Kelley-Naseem was one of the five greatest fights I've ever seen easily.

      This great fight was regular HBO.

      If this was Floyd it would be PPV against a washed up Kelly.

        Hamed was definitely entertaining, but such a goofy, off balanced fighter LOL. Everytime he gets touched, or hit the canvas he's like one of those inflatable wacky tube men you see out the front of car yards

          didnt happen in this fight, but i was always a fan of Kevin Kelleys eyes swelling up massively, yet still being able to KO people!

            Nas was everything but unbalanced. Old school Mexican fighters like Barrera hate those flashy kind of guys and you could see it in that fight. You still have to love both guys as a fan.

              Hamad was much closer to prime than KK was (7 years younger) and KK still put it on him

              While KK did continue with his career after the L, his W/L was 12-8 (4 L's by KO).

              I'd pick KK > Hamed
