A decent performance, but as Josh Kelly steps up he's looking more and more like he has too many flaws to reach the top. If you listen to Sky pundits it's only a matter of time before he's at the top. He is wide open and seems easy to time and counter. He also admires his own work way too much, again leaving himself open. I'd like to see him win the British title off Bradley Skeete, which would be a borefest, then why not go in against Kerman Lajarraga for the European title? Lajarraga is about to destroy Frankie Gavin in the near future.

Agree.

Not sure if Josh Kelly has the power or chin to win a World title at WW.

I'm also finding his fights boring. Ritson should of headlined last night.

I don't think he should rush into a fight with Lejarraga. Kelly is only 24 so while he needs to be facing opponents who can keep him on his toes they can also take their time with him. Since he's going to the USA next I was thinking it would be good to see whether he could do a better job against Karim Mayfield than Lubkovich managed
