    Looks a bit tubby to me. Still looks quite explosive despite moving up in weight. Be interesting to see how he gets on and if he finds a bit more power.

    Oh is he? Looks like he’s going to struggle to make weight again then! He looks massive!

    I'm wondering if he's going to turn into a bit of a gym fighter. He looks very sharp but I just see him getting bulldozed by a strong world class pressure.

    I think he'll get to a certain level but then will hit his limit, think lack of power will be his kryptonite.

    I think his lack of defence will be his kryptonite, the old adam booth low hand style and kelly takes it to an extreme he will get iced soon.

    No doubt Kelly has talent but there is something about him that I'm not convinced about. What is it?

    Not sure if it’s just me but he has that he’s British so can’t be as good as he seems about him. Hopefully he is and we have a brilliant fighter on our hands.

    Us brits are always a bit sceptical and don’t buy into hype easily

    So did you just assume that looking abit over weight ment he was moving up? Or do you know something? There was something sus about him pulling out, were did you see that he was moving up?

    He did kind of swerve British level which can sometimes be concerning.
