Josh Kelly is a class geezer. I used to train where he currently trains. Ended up bumping into him (not too long after he booked the Avanesyan fight) and must of spoke to him anywhere between 30-60 minutes. He was just giving advice and spoke about life etc. thought to myself what a tip top bloke. wasn't until the next few times i went in to train he remembered my name said hello. Considering how busy he was and how much he was in the spotlight just showed to me how humble and down to earth he is. Proper geezer and i wish him all the best in his career.

He definitely has skills. Off of this last fight I can't rate him above a B level class Edit: I meant off of this fight

Glad you covered this fight! I’m a big Kelly fan, and he’s come back stronger since this fight. Kelly said he struggled a lot with his mental health around the time of the Ava fight, and now you can see his cardio is a lot more improved and he’s more calculated in his flashiness. I got high hopes for him even if his power isn’t ever gonna be on a Wilder level.

Great video guys!

Great video, this channel needs a lot more subs and views. Pretty hard for Kelly (or any fighter) to keep sticking and moving flawlessly for 12 rounds, sooner or later you're gonna be standing in front of your opponent and a very strong, tough guy like Avanesyan will make you pay.

He's got a very entertaining style, I think he still has potential to be a big name if they gave him the opportunities.

Holy shit you’re back

From the clips the kid seems to have a decent chin and some heart. I think he got a shot to come back stronger.

I was prepared to hate on him..but man he does have a beautiful style!

Why dont u make more videos? Make provodnikov one pls

great video

I was wondering what happened to him

I learned stuff just now 👍

Kelly is a quality boxer, lack of power the only thing that lets him down

Hopefully 🙏🏽 he has a David Haye like career, Haye had a early loss to Carl “the truth” Thompson but bounced back and became a cruiserweight ATG and heavyweight champion hopefully Josh Kelly can do the same since he had the same trainer as David Haye, Adam Booth who can guide him through this.

@atifmir7409

I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes a loss isn't the worst thing in the world and it made the likes of David Haye and Hopkins better fighters.

I think the more knowledgeable boxing fan saw this coming. Prior to this fight, there were rumours Kelly and Adam Booth didn't want this fight. Especially after it initially got cancelled.

Josh Kelly got the talent and skill, he just needs that deep water endurance and some improved shot power.

Josh Kelly is actually a nice lad conducts himself well and got plenty of Talent still got plenty in his tank in the boxing World. Don't see why people would hate on Kelly respect to him

Come on Kelly, been wondering bout him lately. Great vid thanks

Bruh why did you put the hbo template on the thumbnail😂😂😂?

Is ben whitaker a kelly 2.0

Good video

Dropping his hand and not putting his hands up is his downfall.

Low hands its cool but if you are getting punched and you are tired just put your ego aside and put your hands high to protect yourself and keep fighting.

so nothing happens for an elbow to the back fo the head even if you start pissing blood? interesting tactic to remember

It must be frustrating when you spend so much time on your craft but you have a low ceiling because you can't punch

@@gettingcheeky6597 I was reading somewhere how prospects always caught out by unknown Mexicans because Mexico doesn't have a well defined amateur system and their pro records can be deceptive. An 8-4 record in Mexico is different to an 8-4 in UK (and USA probably) because they are learning on the job.

They will meet their kryptonite soon. As Hamed did encountering Barrera.

Was he too inactive? I thought he disappeared.

like the content and respect the amount of work you put into this but I dont agree withe the "humbled" label for this. from what you laid out, he didnt seem disrespectful at all and seems like a humble fighter already... I wouldn't even call that showboating either. it's just a flow state style with a little bit of extra put on it, but his fundamentals and skill level match that. and this was a GOOD fight with both having their moments until he his corner threw the towel in. respect to both fighters, but where's the humbling part coming from?

Had Conner Benn like naw, I’m good!🥚🍳

I thought it was going to be the Peter McGrail fight

Eddie be taking a lot of Ls lately

Some call it showboating when they can’t do it! Jealousy and envy at an all time high.

We can't say he needed more fights before fighting aveneseyan, he had to take a step up fight to go the next level he just simply wasn't good enough

I forgot about this lad.

Dude’s been a “potential” superstar for idk how many years now. 😂

Yea I remember Josh Kelly

I don’t see anyone being humbled here, it was a good fight, not the walk over I expected..

Gets humbled? Showboater? Its a style of fighting designed to open up an opponents defences and fustrate them into making a mistake so the can land good shots on them (make em miss, make em pay). Its not about disrespect, it requires extreme skill, speed and reflexes but it can be risky.

Showboating and unnecessary fancy movement take a lot of energy and if your opponent is still standing after round five, you have a problem.

"Bounce back" Since '22 he's fought 5 times and not fought since last year in fights that weren't really televised and fighting guys ranked between 80th to 700th in the world. So this bounce back isn't happening any time soon.

Kelly has very good instincts. All he really needs to do is understand that against some opponents, he's better off keeping to fundemental boxing.

Emanuel knew three different styles of kung fu so he was able to combine the movements....Ben and matrix are sitting ducks frfr ....

Kelly would have been a superstar if he came to the American circuit. The british u k boxing scene just isn't the same

Josh Kelly is a good lad and extremely talented I think at the top level he just lacks that bit of power.

Avanesyan was more battle hardened and experienced against tough opposition but Kelly is a great technical fighter, he's still a novice when it comes to competing against real trialed and tested veterans

Gets humbled feels harsh, he fought a good fight and got beat by a fighter everyone is scared to fight, a great fight tho!

I don't think his original style was sustainable against higher level opposition. It just wasn't efficient enough. Maybe he's made some adjustments.

People assume "showboaters" should be humbled as in, thinking they are showing off. That's actually how they have fun and relax.

@@davidfernandez8515 Yea this was like 6 years ago lmao when I thought this

Shades of ben Whittaker . Both former Olympic medallists with similar showboating styles

Kellys big issue and a big issue with alot of booth trained fighters is wasted movement, all the flash head and foot movement is great for 4 or 5 rounds, but you cant do it for 12. Especially when your doing it while the other person is out of range. Look at the best guys, canelo, crawford etc, no wasted movement.

The only thing Kelly lacked that fight was stamina

Ben whitaker entered the chat...... I will love it when he gets iced 😂

"The night the matrix showboater was humbled" See, this is the problem with modern day boxing and how the public view it. Here's a kid in only his 12th pro fight taking a massive step up in class vs a 30 fight european title holder dead in his prime. Kid still takes early rounds off the champ, totally outboxes him in patches and even hurts him bad but eventually, the champ shows his experience at this level, walks him down and kelly comes up short. Kelly gets called an overrated hype job for losing meanwhile Avanesyan doesn't get the credit he deserves for the win. Avanesyan then goes on to come up short against arguably the best pound for pound fighter on the planet in Terrance Crawford so now, in the eyes of the casual fight fan, both of these men are just a pair of bums who couldn't cut it 🤦‍♂️ and people wonder why it takes mega money to get fights made these days.

I'm waiting for Ben Whittaker to fight anything other than a high-guard pressure fighter. He's not anything near what they're hyping him to be.

That guy is still very impressive.

Kelly didn't properly pace himself.

lol hardly the case. Had a really bad cut on his head that was dripping blood, which changed the fight. Up till that point avenisiyan was being taken to school.

If he funnelled all that arrogance into his boxing ability then he would be a far better fighter.

Showboating against people with such poor records is cringe. Its good he faced avenyesan and got a nice piece of humble pie

No. The playing field is not level. He was unlucky and got a cut early in the round? My perspective, though.
