What a robbery. Running is not sweet science. They igroned all the work Murtazaliev did and robbed the champion.

Kelly did his best i guess. Bakhram looked flat. However Kelly did not win this fight. Judging is really something. William Scull lost and it was called running and embarassing performance even though he threw way more than Canelo and landed as much as Canelo. Here Kelly threw way less was completely inactive getting hit with Jabs constantly and eating bodyshots and all he did was putting on his antics but somehow he got the decision.

Sorry you can't throw 4 potshots every round and missing 3 of them and win the fight.

Props to Josh, it was a close fight....probably a good thing for him that he fought in his own backyard. Another Eastern Euro "boogeyman" goes down. This reign was even quicker than usual. Funny enough Kelly has already been stopped by a guy Boots stopped, but of course Boots is the only unified champ in history to have "never fought anyone". I guess Kelly will be the next "nobody".

Where are all the Idiots saying Murtazaliev was the boGayman. He is so basic, that Ortiz was ducking.

Hate the word robbery and i'm not sure i would use it here but on the other hand there is no way you can score it for Kelly or give him more than 4 rounds.

But really embarrasing was the commentary. They called it a briliant performance but when Scull did way better and even less running against Canelo they said it was embarrasing. Which one is it and is it possible to have the option to hear sound punches crowd without bias commentary, please add this option.

How was Murtazaliev not avoided by everyone. Turki said he offered the fight to everyone at 154 and everyone declined even for big money. Ortiz Madrimov Bohachuk and Ennis all declined the fight. Did he looked bad today yes but is he dangerous oh yes. Did he won this fight hell yeah.

Missed this fight because I assumed he'd get knocked out before midway.

Big upset.
