    Kevin Kelley? I take it you mean the small, glass jawed Featherweight who Hamed went life and death with.

    Don't know how you can get him mixed up with super middleweight Lacy. Different time period, different weight divisions

    I cant tell if you are being serious or not. As Koala said above, different time periods, different weight divisions, different styles.

    I remember a Kevin Kelley at super-welter who lost a controversial decision to one of my favourites fighters, Chris Pyatt for the Commonwealth crown.

    I just looked up his record on Boxrec and he fought for the World crown and even had David Reid down before losing on points.

    See that he also beat a young Sam Soliman to finally win the Commonwealth title.

    Seems he was a decent fighter.

    This deserves its own thread : completely unrelated things you used to inexplicably get mixed up.


    I’ll go : egg and potato . No word of a lie.

    I take it the OP isn't a Naz or Calzaghe fan.

    What in the actual are you going on about.
    How can you get confused and think these are the same fighter.
    It's like saying I get confused Between Frank Bruno and Henry Armstrong.

    Kevin Kelly was surely long retired before lacy came onto the scene! Doubt they’ve even been on film together.
