Williamson sitting on his phone. Shows you what he thinks of this.

He’d smoke Kelly

Tuned in for the eubank fight has McCormack already fought? Never seen nowt about the result?

Black eye starting

This is a pre ordained points win setting up that Williamson fight

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

Going for the points win, not very impressive performance but it’s a win

Eubank won on a disqualification.

To me just looks like Kelly lost self belief, wide and cautious stance all the way through.

A confident fighter goes narrow, takes centre ring control, puts pressure on, this aint him.

Definitely lost confidence. He doesn't really know what style he wants to box at and is probably a weight too high, im not sure he's disciplined enough to make WW though now.

Was only a few year back that Hearn was talking about PBK in the same league as Benn , Brook and Spence , seems the loss against avenasean has fucked his confidence plus being dropped by matchroom which hasn’t helped him with matchmaking

Kelly 5” 10

I’m five eleven in width before you come in @chopsfc007

Partly a victim of the Hearn machine, partly just not at the right level at the time.

Tbf to Troy he's always seemed like a canny lad. I've cracked on with him a load of times and don't think he ever mentioned football, always seemed to be a bigger fan of boxing to me.

Always been a good lad to watch, been having cracking fights since he was fighting at local shows in the amateurs.

Him and Kelly would be a good fight but I'd like to see Kelly have a few more first as I do t think he's me tally ready for it and Troys confidence will be at max after his last few fights.

It's pretty clear the promoters are putting the boxers upto the football rivalry thing. Josh Kelly's entire promotion for this one was appearing with SAFC on social media etc.

The Argentinian lad wouldn't choose to wear a mag top I reckon, it would be the promoters again

And now Williamson being sat there in one when the whole night has been about SAFC is exactly the same. They want to build the next fight as a football thing to try and build the crowds.

Hearn not the blame. He was named The Ring Magazine future prospect of the year. The Ring is pretty much the Oscars of the Boxing world so its praise of the highest order.

Definitely.

This new set up is absolute dog shit.

 

[The soap powder]

I mean you would shut your curtains if they were fighting in your back garden ……… it’s that bad

think he loses confidence as soon as he realises he doesn’t hurt people with his best shots and goes on the back foot straight away like

He’s probably die if he fought Connor benn like

 

[Ghfd]

You just know he’s getting it on points but there’s been nothing between them all fight

No real dodgy wobbles, nowt

He will probably win 100 to 98 or something

 

[dangermows]

Wearing that mag top is just pure hype to sell a few tickets

They'd already bought the tkts by that point.

 

[Gronkowski]

But Hearn dropped him after one loss, despite hyping him up to the moon.
A loss to a far superior fighter at that

Absolutely this.

I didn’t even think Kelly was that much of a fan tbh

It’s only the last few months where the Sunderland stuff has come out.

DQ

Problem with it is football crowds unsegregated at boxing venues brings trouble which in turn puts people off. Worst violence I've seen in crowds at boxing was Joshua v Parker. Imagine being lucky enough to get a ticket for that and being chucked out before the main event for scrapping.

If they really want the football element at boxing then they'll need to segregate which in itself is a pain in the arse and bloody stupid, not to mention hugely off-putting.
