"You need to be a complete fighter - the heart, the chin, the toughness. You've got to have it all. When the going gets tough and he's questioning himself, has he got it? There's a question mark. ''

We know you answered these questions, Kell. I think 'Pretty-Boy'Josh Kelly is another English-Bum, the Matchroom hype-job was exposed in America by Ray Robinson. What a great card that was, all those Matchroom bums got exposed that night in NY : Anthony Joshua, Katie Taylor and Josh Kelly.

I think I'm going to watch it again.

Gatekeeper?
That's a word Kell Brook should never use to describe a Fight between 2 undefeated talented Boxers

Avaesyan has three losses and a draw. Former interim WBA welter champ who was beaten twce by friinge contenders for a welter title, but came back to beat a European champion proven to be at a good European level. Avanesyan is today better when he lost those fights 2-3 years ago, and is probably a top 10 welter today in a talented division.

If Avanesyan beats Kelly, I expect him to fight for the WBA regular title next, or he could be fed to Crawford who is struggling to find opponents worthy of a title shot. Should Kelly win I expect him to to defend the European title and get at least 2-3 more fights and a year before he can challenge for an eliminator match and thereafter a title shot.

My prediction is that Kelly will start well, possibly gas out after 6-7 rounds and no longer box similarly well skilled, and that a patient Avanesyan will either KO Kelly or overwhelm him and enforce a TKO in the later rounds.

Avanesyan has a good chin (only stopped once still standing) and Kelly lacks power, so the only way I can see this n favour for Kelly is to be gifted a win with a highly controversial scorecard. What makes me think that won't happen is that Hearn is fed up with Kelly and would rather see him lose than continue protectng him.

Anyone close to a world class fighter is a real danger to Josh Kelly.
