[BoxingUpdates]

I played word association with Josh Kelly about eight months ago as we discussed the best fighters in his division.

Bakhram is not a come forward brawler as some might think. He is also not a Beterbiev type of fighter. His style is very very similiar to Kovalev.

I think when both are at their best Bakhram will win rounds by boxing sprising many people and will stop Kelly at some point. If Kelly has his best day ever and Bakhram his worst ever i can see it going the distance and Kelly winning a very controversial decision to not say robbery.

Mentality and Condition will play the key. Bakhram can not just cruise to a victory he thinks he has in the bag, the judges will make sure Kelly goes in with a 4 point advantage and the referee also will use any possibility he gets to end the fight for Kelly or allow Kelly to survive and regroup. Bakhrams performance against Culcay (who is better than Kelly) would be enough to win the fight and by his word this was his worst.

All that being said it's boxing and there is the possibility for an upset in almost every fight other than Joshua vs Paul

Murtaz by DECAPITATION!

My three points are justified. How big is that ring? 24 feet? Josh by marathon.

Watching pocket rocket Rodger warm up the track. Back foot country.

Ever wonder why you never see Bakhram and Abe Lincoln in the same room at the same time?

I heard they did documentary back in 2012, I'm going with the vampire hunter.

I think Bahkram has to beat the spread. The ring is huge and the mat looks stiff. This one has boxer friendly aspects, no disrespect, it's fair, but that's why I think road warriors rule. They can get around the pettiness.

If it all comes together for Josh this is going to be one of those nights that's why I'm predicting Josh by UD12.

Blood and guts everywhere. Lightweights going toe to toe. Blinkiron bled less. I enjoyed the meyhem.

Kelly is an idiot. He knocks the guy down and doesn't throw another punch for the whole round. He's already run 8 miles in 5 rounds. I hope that he loses for being so negative. He's running around like Murtazaliev has a knife in his hands. Way too much respect.
