Bakhram Sait-Khamzatovich Murtazaliev vs. Joshua Kelly & Josh Padley vs. Jaouad Belmehdi RBR.

I also thought it was a draw. It was the type of fight where hometown fighter would get the nod, which is what happened.

That beşng Said, the one who fought to their maximum, who gave it their all was Kelly. Murtazaliev barely pressed when he had Kelly hurt, barely showed any sense of urgency. So I’m fine with the decision, good for Kelly to resurrect his career.

 

Very true.

In a way that defensive style is like haney's. Bag enough rounds and then check out, don't make any mistakes anymore, deny all possibilities of any action.

Like a chess player who only needs a draw, which is often not much of a problem.

But I can understand it, too. Against murtazaliev. I hope murtazaliev gets more good fights. I will certainly watch him.

 

To the victor, belongs the spoils.

 

Murtazaliev had the toughest reputation in Grozny county but he never came back after Kelly got through with hin.

 

Makes me think Tim actually could’ve beaten him if he had a proper game plan instead of trying blast him out.

 

I missed the under card did Padley win his fight?

 

He won impressively

 

I had it 115-111 for Kelly

 

I like that kid glad to see him doing well

 

Yes mate when you see fighters regularly blame poor performance on their camp and preparation, Padley makes a mockery of it, straight off a building site on 4 days notice as part time professional fighter, he was in no condition to be fighting against someone like Stevenson but he took his chance and took his licks, and he was rightfully rewarded with a professional contract and changed his life.
Love that, speaks like a proper lad to.
I will be following his career and supporting him the same goes for Pat Brown he looks like he could be something special, he looks like an absolute beast, decent craic to been watching him on a podcast with Dave Allen quality banter between them. But you can tell how hard he is by the way Dave looks at him and the respect he shows him

 

100%, he can't go hard in early rounds against top level fighters as his defense is non existent when he's windmilling.

 

Word, Serge.

And as a Yank who's half English, I'm allowed to engage in gratuitous slagging of British fighters since I'm a transplanted member of the tribe.
