So you Brits know, there are Americans over hear who know all about Kelly. As in we've watched him since the Olympics.
Full disclosure: I am not a fan of his style, as I have seen dozens of fighters like him come throug--then get someone who dumps real on them and it's a wrap. Meaning PBK has the pedigree, he is looking the part, and if he truly wants to move up and sell out arena's here are some fights I would propose, as a retired executive match maker. He is an ingeuiging prospect and should not take a step down fight at this point in his career. i.s. If you woof big ****, then be about it and get and take some scalps.
1. Brandon Rios..I think Bradon would take PBK to a points decision. I don't see Eddie moving PBK like that anyway. Rios showed he can **** with a counter-puncher extroidinaire. I don't see Bam Bam take a fight against a 6=0 prospect unless ther were serious coin slid to him. Basically this would be a 4-star fight. PICK: PBK
2. Victor Ortiz...I think Victor beats PBK, but hey if he is down to do this, let's do it).Ortiz bullies PBK bell to bell. PICK: Ortiz
3. Thomas Dulorme...Dulorme won't be able to bully him (which is what PBK needs) but he would make it interesting. (PICK: PBK)
4. Abel Ramos...He's from Andrew Zak's Chi-town stable, and he is a warrior. I think PBK would causw a stoppage within 7-9 round though, as Ramos will take some to get some. Real Mexican warrior IMO. (PICk: PBK)
5. Jose Benevidaz: Although I know this fight won't happen right now, a win would move the winner up a level, IMO. (PICK: Benevidaz)
6. David Avaneeyan: He is coming off a loss so it will be interesting to see how he is moved. If the money is right this would be a good scrap, IMO. (PICK: Draw)
7.
Ugas. I know he is moving up the IBF ladder, and unsure that a win here would move him up. I think he would get frustrated by PBK, running ideas and eventually fighting for survival. A nice scrap though, for sure. PICK: PBK
8. Devon Alexander: Devon beats PBK. (PICK: Devon)
9. Bryant Perrella: Perrella would make this an incredibly intriguing matchup. I think he can bully PBK as he has an inside game. (PICK: Perrella):
10. Bakhtiyar Eyubov He applies pressure unlike anyone I've seen in my 40+ years in this sport. He's small for 47 so think PBK would give him a boxing clinic: It would like the Hebrew Hammer vs Ulysse Jr all over again, IMO. Do yourself a favore and check him out as he is entertaining AF. (PICK: PBK)
11. Yves Ulysse Jr. It's a true 50/50 fight IMO. (PICK: Draw)
That's all I have, but seems like a good list to go over and ponder.
