      What weight is Theophane nowadays? He used to be 140.

      I would rather Kelly stayed at 154 where his speed and movement really shines through. I know his team think 147 is his division but i like him where he is

        Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the only 154 fight he had was his debut. He's fought at welter the other three fights

          Good fight for Kelly, I love watching this kid but Theo is still a tough fight for anyone, Kelly would win but it would be a tough one. Good step up.

            He hasnt made the 147 limit yet. Doesnt mean he cant, but suggests he would be cutting a bit to get down to WW.

            Could be they just dont want to cut at all for development fights, which is fine if true. Then it would be a relatively simple cut to get to 147. If thats true then i am very interested to see him vs other WWs

              Dang I didn't know I just saw his weigh in and you're right he was at 150. I think he can make it to 147 like you said they only want to cut a bit for the bigger fights
