Murt by murder, me thinks. Kelly might have some early moments, but by round 4-5, down he goes.

2 pounds under is very weird. Overtraining? I saw him saying that he could cut down to 147 and that on fight night he sometimes weighs around 153. If thats true he might be the only fighter that cuts no weight at all.

Why would you come in 2 pounds under? He looks like he hasn't got an ounce of fat on him - why not just come in at 153.5, for example, and be more comfortable?

weird indeed. I suspect he has no real professional team when it comes to that stuff. He said he was 151 against Tszyu on the day of the fight. Basically this is a 147 fighter fighting at 154 but he looks pretty big.

Sometimes there are fighters who are genuinely best between weights. Maybe that is it. Eubank sr would be best at 164 his whole career.
