154 is his weight class now. 160 might be too high and 147 is way too low. I don't want him to be another victim of another extremely stupid mismanagement.
154 not including catchweights under that unless it's to hammer Amir. Pretty sure he can't go all the way down to 147 anymore without really hurting himself.
Aside from anything else nobody at 147 will want to fight him now anyway. Well, they didn't before but now it's a total non-starter.
Kell was damaging himself coming down to 147, that's what makes his success so impressive. It's true that apart from Porter he doesn't have any other big name victories at the weight. But most insiders knew he was exceptional and they know a lot more than we do! A bit like GGG, it's not just who you beat but the way you do it. Kell has real class and for me he is the top dog at 147. There are some phenomenal fighters at 154 so will be interesting to see how he gets on. But I have high hopes for him, he proved last weekend that he is tough, has a great chin and is fearless. Mix that with the speed and unorthodox punches that we already knew about and we have one of the most exciting fighters around. The only downside is that light middle is a **** weightclass! Maybe it's just me but when did you last get excited about a fighter winning a light middleweight title?!?
Oops, silly me I used a naughty word in my last post that was censored. Are we children? What a load of faulking sh1t
You'll just have to take Kell at his word Post fight he said he will not move back to WW and he feels 154 is more suited for him !
Yeah, I agree. He's a 154 pounder now, and I'd probably pick him over everyone except Canelo, BUTTTTTT. I don't think Canelo will be there very much longer so that fight might not ever happen.
