    He's arguably the best amateur in the world but it looks like he was humbled today.

    Well and truly humbled, that was like Anderson Silva getting KTFO. This will happen to Josh Kelly eventually.

    Any information on his opponent? A know puncher or otherwise dangerous fighter? I think that's important and should be taken into account before judgement calls.

    Is a thing


    He was floored by Joe Ward (who he is now 4-0 against) in the semi-final and apparently the decision was controversial.

    Like someone else said, it seems that Ward is getting closer.

    That was a nice right hand from Coe. Well disguised and arrow-straight.

    Joe Smith Jr. would too.:deal: As a pro he'd gassed, and be violently KO'd by most of the Top 15.

    shouldn't have been goofing off. Ref should have let him continue though. He beat the count.

    Kovalev would KO every amateur, if he was allowed to fight amateurs

    Was not a legit KO though. He beat the count and likely would have proceeded to victory.

    But it was about time he paid for clowning his opponents.

    I know, I was loling at the look the ref made. He was still clowning as he got up.
