Murtazaliev vs Kelly is set for January in the UK

I don't give him a chance but good on Kelly for having the balls to have a crack.

 

Kelly is a talented guy- glad he's got a world title shot. Think this guy has way too much though- late stoppage

 

I actually think Kelly will do better than my man Tim because he will at least have a game plan. I don't think Tszyu really had a plan at all he just thought he could blast him out and he ended up getting blasted out himself.

 

Kelly is going to get mauled; he couldn't stand up to the best Avenesyan had to offer, and Bahkram is a totally different beast. Only differences here are that he is incredibly inactive and will probably overlook Kelly, but I don't see anything other than a stoppage loss for Kelly.

Mid rounds Murtazaliev TKO - the left hooks to head and body will be brutal.

 

Hope this is in Newcastle and I can see it live. I’ll be rooting for Kelly altho I don’t give him a huge chance. Then again Kelly has a totally different style to Tszyu and it might be a bad one for Murtazaliev.

 

Good to see Bakram finally getting back into the ring.

 

Hopefully Boots in June. To me that is the fight to be made at 154.

 

You are very likely right, but I will be happy for Kelly if he pulls of the improbable (impossible?) here. At the very least I'm sure he will do better than Tim Tszyu.

 

Kelly? **** fight.

 

One of the biggest 'doh' moments in recent memory........sadly.

 

I think Virgil Ortiz and Fundora are the other top dogs at 154 not sure about Boots yet but would love to see him step to Bakhram.
