See boots you was scared to fight

Fell asleep and woke up to the decision. Was Bak robbed or did he just not look good?

****ty fight, Bakhram landed the cleaner harder shots, and Kelly clinched and ran all fight, both guys had a KD, but Bakhram had at least 1 KD taken away bc of corrupt UK referees, which isn't new. he also allowed Kelly at least 10 seconds to recover from a botched non-call KD

He caught Kelly in one round and got a knockdown, but other than that he didn't win any rounds clearly. Kelly had a lot of one sided rounds.

I often don't mind the UK commentary but this was ridiculously biased tonight. Almost bizarre. All Kelly had to do was run, hold and punch enough to keep the Russian off him for the rest of the moments and make sure to raise your hands as if you're schooling the guy. That was mostly a guy who was avoiding a fight and he was getting beat over the last couple of rounds pretty clearly. The judges must have given him points for surviving.

As much as his boxing style annoys me Kelly won the fight. I do think though that Team Kelly caught Bakhram at the right time after more then a year layoff.

Now the sad part. We will never see Bakhram Murtazaliev again. No more belt, no more interest dangerous but exposed. No draw. Oh well.

No Question its Fundora. Hes the best of the belt holders and neither Ennis or Ortiz can lay claim until they fight him regardless of how much hype they maintain.

I was dead wrong about this one. Kelly is very slick, skillful, and full of energy. He made Murtazaliev swing at air for most of the fight. Kelly has really good defense, ducking, weaving, then landing beautiful counter punches. I had 114-112 on the app I use The average score card from the fans was 115-111 so I was happy he didn't get rob after that scintillating display in the ring tonight.

How do you not have Boots? You can he isn't number 1 but you should at least acknowledge he's a very close second.
