TO ME THIS FIGHTS A TOSSUP THATS WHY I POSTED THIS:huh HELP ME OUT ON YOUR OPINIONS, ICAN SEE THIS GOING EITHER WAY. THIS WOULD BE AN AWESOME FIGHT THOUGH!
I PUT IT ON THE GENERAL FORUM CUZ ,JUST CHECKED OUT THE INTERVIEW WITH MCGUIGAN,BUNCE ON THAT EURO INTERVIEW,SO DONT TRY AND BE THE PRODUCER HERE AND QUIT FU**ING WITH MY POSTS IDID IT FOR A REASON:twisted::fire
IMO,after taking a bit of punishment early on,McGuigan would wear Kelly down with his body attacks. Job done before the final bell.
Kelley at his very best would be a massive challenge for McGuigan, I think Kelley sweeps the early rounds, before the Clones Cyclone starts to get closer and leaves Kelly clinging on at the end. Kelley did show great heart at times, and he would need every bit of that ticker. But I can see him gutting it out to the end, maybe with the odd visit to the canvas in the championship rounds. Kelley WS15 (9-6; with a couple of ten eight rounds for McGuigan)
I just think Barry's best was a little better than Kelley's best. Over 15 I think Barry could get himself a late stoppage with some good body work. Over 12 I still think he could nick a close decision. He threw sharp, crisp punches and I just think he was sharper than Kelley.
I agree, Kelley had his shortcomings, although never at a loss for words. I can see this fight going down like the Cobrita fight and McGuigan punishing him late.
