Yeah, okay Josh, you've read the Adam Booth script, now let's see.

Murtazaliev looked sensational against a guy that stood in the pocket but so did Serhii Bohachuk until he fought Brandon Adams.

I expect Josh use his feet a lot.....but....if Josh gases late or if Bakhram Murtazaliev cuts off the ring it's going to be a long hard night for Kelly.

Bakhram has fought C fighters before Tszyu. I am predicting a comfortable victory for Josh

He beat Culcay a World level opponent that gave prime Andrade a competitve close fight. He brutalized Tszyu a guy levels above Josh Kelly.

I know style make fights but let's be honest the guy who never even faced anyone close to world level is Josh Kelly and still he was beaten badly and still he looked horrible against fighters Bakram would finish in 2 rounds.
Josh never showed anything that would suggest that he is tough or that he can beat a top 15 fighter regardless of style because Avenesyan was stylewise tailor made for him and he still got battered.

Don't get me wrong this is boxing everything can happen but anyone who says Kelly wins this is basing this on nothing else then wishful thinking since Kelly never showed anything that would suggest that he is even close to world level.

Interesting comparison, and i can see what you're getting at, but I think Murtazaliev is a better boxer than Bohachuk, he's got better feet and better defence. Also, not sure Kelly is as tough as Adams. So most probable scenario is the second one: long night for Kelly. Unless the year and a half inactivity really dulled Murta's skills.

I'm giving Josh the hometown edge. Murtz killed his momentum taking off a year and even that, Tsyue was too easy. Josh will fight smart.

These Brits are so delusional. It's so sad.

Steven Edwards thought Murtazaliev was suspect and he's not even British. Should we hate him?

Ok sir.
