    McGuigan on points. A level above Kelley.

    Great fight. Kelley had speed and skills but wasn't terribly hard to draw into a slugfest. In short, to win this he needs to box and move and he just won't do that.

    Barry starts getting to him with heavy shots mixed up to the body and head around the 6th or 7th and grinds him down for a stoppage about the 11th.

    Once McGuigan starts letting rip with that devastating hook to the body,Kelley gets stopped. Possibly by the halfway mark.

    I like Barry here. As Stevie says, those hooks slamming in to his body aren't gonna do Kelly any good for his health.
    Bazza by ko.

    This fight would be great. Fireworks. I think they trade and Barry gets knocked down with some sharp shots but ultimately finds his rhythm and stops him with his more consistent work.
