Was looking forward to this fight. I think this was going to be a real test for Kelly to get to the next level. Plus I’m a fan of both.

Kind of a bummer. I am sure that will not help sales of this fight.

There's got to be another Liam or Callum lying around somewhere in the U.K.

Oh well........

Can't help but like Liam. He's basic but good at it. And he'll fight anybody. I had him stopping Kelly.

Virus or couldn't make the weight? Seem's like a lame excuse?

They ought to make a Top 10 Liams list, then have them battle to be crowned Worlds Best Liam.

Same with Callum.

Those names must be like Bob over there.

Disappointing but I think Liam's an honest kid & I have no doubt the virus is real. The nature of boxing means you can't pull on a substitute!

I wouldn't mind American posters 'Joshing' (see what I did there) about people in the UK having strange names, except that so many Americans claim, entirely falsely, to be this weird thing they call 'Irish-American' but when confronted by actual Irish names like 'Liam' or 'Callum' they act mesmerised!

What's he got the sniffles, you got a week to get over a runny nose. Everyone has a slight niggle.
