Comments Thread For: Hearn: Ray Robinson Is A Huge, Huge Step Up For Josh Kelly

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Many boxing observers believe Ray Robinson did enough two months ago to knock off undefeated welterweight contender Egidjius Kavaliauskas. Robinson settled for a majority draw March 30, even in his hometown of Philadelphia, because two judges scored their 10-round encounter even (95-95, 95-95). One judge scored their fight 97-93 for Robinson, whose movement and southpaw stance troubled Lithuania's Kavaliauskas (21-0-1, 17 KOs).

Josh Kelly is just lucky that it's not the "real" Ray Robinson he is fighting as in Sugar Ray Robinson.

Good fight. Robinson much more experienced, Josh much younger.

[Boris Johnson!]

surprised they took this after swerving Avanesyan, just as tricky a fight

[Corelone]

Kelly taking this on the road is even more risky. His hands down style is asking for troubles. He wants to be stylish, but I think he's tempting fate.

Ray, if lose to a cat with 9 fights...you already know! Even a draw is not a good look! Philly could become an even colder place to live. Speaking of Philly, SALUTE to J-Rock, SALUTE to DSG, and...

Ray Robinson back from the dead for some light work

Mannn I wud hate to have that name...

I'm surprised Top Rank isn't gonna have Robinson and Kavaliauskas run it back. Kavaliauskas typically looks bad when they put him in with guys that move. He looked bad against Abreu and Robinson in 2 of his last 3 fights.
