Man that was such a good fight. I remember HBO's build to that fight and they had everyone in the Garden wanting to see Hamed get his head taken off. While I don't miss the people that want to claim Hamed as the greatest featherweight of all time, I do miss his antics and what he brought to the game.

I watched the build up to the fight on youtube today funnily enough. Naz's comments about giving Kevin Kelly a job putting up his posters was so funny. They had some good banter back and forth in the immediate build up.
There's a recent (ish) interview with Naz on youtube at the Kell Brook v Matthew Hatton fight where he says he still speaks to Kevin Kelly, and then he closes by saying 'bless him, its been 15 years and he still hasn't seen the shot that knocked him out'.
The Kelly fight is probably the best example of the power that Naz has in both hands, at any time. Any fighter can **** if they set themselves and wind up, Naz could be on the back foot with no balance and still KO guys with his weakest hand.
