    Not a bad matchup. Kelly is somewhat elusive, but I expect Ennis will eventually find him and win by stoppage.

    Good fight. Ennis wins. Laughable Nikita Tszyu was going to get a shot at Kelly.

    Another fight where Ennis will be the heavy favorite and his fans will glaze him non stop when he wins.

    Ennis should easily have too much for Kelly, but I thought the same against Bakhram, and Kelly REALLY surprised me in that fight.

    Boots will need to be focussed and patient in this as Kelly can be really elusive, and look a million dollars at times potshotting and being flashy.

    Not that I think this will be another Honeyghan v Curry by any stretch, but I think Boots will need to be switched on focussed and have watched the Murtz / Kelly tape and not just completely underestimate Kelly.

    Still I think Boots will start finding Kelly by the mid-rounds and he's a great & spiteful finisher, so hard to see any route for success for Kelly if Boots does his homework and is 100% on it

    According to Boots, Kelly who just went life and death with the bummy Agyarko, is a way tougher opponent than Ortiz and Fundora!:risas3:

    Fundora now he has actually learnt how to use the tools at his disposal, might even beat Boots

    Agree, and if Zayas can hurt him as badly as he did, imagine what could Ortiz do to him!

    This should be an entertaining fight although I can't see this fight ending other than Boots winning by stoppage. Kelly is talented but he's shown to be more flash than substance. Boots almost fell into that line as well but I think he's proven that he can actually go far with his abilities. He's flashy but also very explosive and dangerous to anyone.

    Kelly just doesn’t have the power to gain boots respect, shame as some of his boxing is really slick but the power is always going to be a problem against the top guys, he’ll have some success for sure but it’ll be on the back foot and eventually I see boots just walking through him
