    Just read he' asked for an immediate rematch with Kelly. One judge scored the last round 10 all supposedly BM won it? If it went in BM favour the fight would have been a draw and he retained his belt. I didn't see the fight so I can't make that call would be interesting to see that last round however.

    Yeh I thought Kelly did enough. Not sure how much of a part Murts inactivity played in it, but he looked pretty lost and out of ideas in there. Seemed to have only one gear.

    I think it's a good fact that he lost his 0, it can be very positive for him.

    I wouldn’t have argued if it had gone the other way. It was close

    I thought Kelly clearly won. I would like BM to fight another fight before the rematch, ring rust could have been an issue and i

    Don't think so. He is still as dangerous, but now without a title and with a loss on his record. Super easy to avoid him now.

    His brand is not yet strong enough to just ignore the loss.

    Too much pressure and he was one of the most ducked champion in all the weight classes.

    Only catching a title back will rectify the loss. I know what you're saying. Sometimes a loss can make a fighter better. They learn new things. But you'd obviously rather stay undefeated.

    He should rematch Tim Tszyu again.
