    Talented fighter kelly. Deserved the win. One of Britains most skilled fighters.

    Very good strong opponent as well.

    I enjoyed it. Kelly didn’t run, he was peppering him with hard shots. And then after the Murtazaliev KD it became a razor tight fight that could go either way.

    decent watch IMO

    Kelly stands Benn on his head. If they truly believed in Benn they’d make the fight.

    Looking forward to Hearn’s ‘celebrations’ despite the fact he wasn’t even there.

    Hope they swerve the Ennis fight and let Josh actually grow as a fighter. No chance Eddie puts Conor in with him.

    couldn’t give a f what the world forum says lol. Reminds me of my school days when kids would challenge me to “say that in front of my big brother and see what happens”.

    Yes, I gave Murta the 12th, aside from the momentary very good work from Kelly, he produced great movement and a perfect enough flurry, a bit of shine without much damage, that was more of a moment to show he was competitive in the round but not enough to take it in my eyes, that is just that round though.

    For me the 11th was Pivotal where he stunted Murtas momentum who had a few consecutive rounds with the KD and the signs were pointing he would catch up to Kelly and stop him.

    Potentially there was a stoppage route, I certainly think the Russian can be detered but it was probably wise for him to get out of there after 2 or 3 shots.

    Think it's only @Beale who gets banned for mentioning Mods or the Cesspit that is the general board, ironically full of retreads from the British Board of yesteryear.

    British commentators support British fighters on a British station. The very idea.

    Imagine how irritating he will be when Sulaiman gives him the WBC title. He'll be strutting around with his chest out like Conor McGregor on a massive coke binge.

    Nah I totally agree with you, Murtazaliev won the 12th and that gave him the fight on my card.

    Murtazaliev is just way too predictable for someone like Kelly. He just doesn’t set enough traps, I was surprised he even got the KD after how comfortable the first half of the fight was for Josh.
