I think the boxing world gave up on Kelly a little too easily. At the end of the day he only has one loss and it came when Kelly was still pretty green at 26 and with only 11 pro fights. Also there were plenty of "weird" results in the empty arenas during covid and I don't think it's a coincidence - obviously it impacts both fighters but it's definitely not the same as fighting in a packed out venue with a raucous crowd Hes been on a good run since then as well so I don't understand why he's almost talked about like he's been and gone already. He can still be a player at the top of the division potentially
Great points and well articulated. I think people turned on him because of his style. When those arrogant and cocky slick movers get done then a lot of people feel that the game is over and their style got found out. Similar to what we're seeing with Ben Whittaker now, once he gets caught (which he most likely will) people will turn on him too.
Very well said mate, I don't watch today's boxing as much, I love old 70s 80s 15;round boxing with proper refereeing, back then fighters would lose plenty and it meant nothing, they would still go on to have great careers.
I think this will be a Smith v Fowler 2.0 ~ amazing skills then the experience just plays its part and Smith start having the final say in the exchanges and gets a stoppage in a brilliant gritty bloody battle.
@@pspeed19 Kelly is a fundamentally great fighter his boxing abilty is unquestionable.Smith even said himself the first few rounds will be tricky.I believe Josh will prove himself
@andym9626 Yes he was.... the difference is... he took his licks like a man and gave no excuses. Smithy and his trainer, on the other hand, whinned like a bi-aach!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every single up and coming fighter tries to catch a name on their way down. It happens in boxing, and in the ufc it's normal. I'm sure Liam has done the same thing somewhere along the line
Hype job? He fought on channel 5 no long ago. He might have had hype a while back but he's got good wins on his record to back that. He's got one loss. No many boxers without a loss
@@john-wick101 Everyone said he’s the best boxer they’d ever seen then he got bullied by a European level guy that got played with by Crawford. There’s levels! PBK is ALL sizzle NO steak. If Liam is 80% he knocks him out. Beefy fought at world level many times.
@@john-wick101 there are other promoters though mate, pretty sure he was with hennessey? theres vids on youtube of josh kelly ‘entering the matrix’ early on in his career
I remember watching josh looking fantastic against avanesyan !! Then he got his heart broken , nothing is stopping liam smith doing the same , but was that 2nd eabank fight sighns of major decline !
Liam does love to play the game of putting pressure on his opponents while taking it off himself . Last time out no matter what he didn’t perform . Josh has much improved and is far more relaxed I see Liam getting out boxed over the distance
Always been a fan of Liam Smith’s style. The Smith Bros. have an underrated history and pedigree and their history is bonafide. From Paul fighting Ward and Liam and Callum fighting different versions of Canelo. I like Liam because he always comes to fight, and I also vouch for Kelly’s style. I’m definitely gonna do a video on this one. Please tune in. So far I’m picking Smith by Split Decision. It might change. I like both Kelly and Smith 💪 🥊
Theres no doubt that both Booth and Kelly think it's the right time to fight Liam otherwise it would of happend before now , once it gets to the middle round experience will count for everything and Liam has it in bucket loads , Liam stops him late or wins on points in my opinion
I just hope 🤞 We have a different Liam Smith turn up than the one who fought in the Eubank rematch . If not , I fear Kelly’s youth and fire in the belly may overwhelm him very quickly Liam was a very capable fighter Let’s hope he still is and it’s not a pay day at the end of the road
Time has caught up with Smith, looks shot to bits. Kelly, although the lighter guy should have the skill, desire and youth to end Smith's career here. Smith has had a good run.
Think.liam is being a little arrogant really by saying the part about getting him at the right time, repeated it several times. Very good fighter but I feel in his head he's alot better than he is
Both good but different boxers, Josh needs to get him out early doors otherwise Liam wins it in the later rounds, I think Liam will do it with a body shot in rd 9.💪🥊
Am a Scouser an I want Liam Smith to win but at the same time I wouldn't begrudge Josh Kelly the win either so let's sit back enjoy the fight an may the best man win it's Defoe a really interesting fight..can't wait...😎
100% fight of the night. Smith wins for me. Should be fun though. Probably get boxed around for a few rounds before he takes over with a late stoppage or UD. The majority of the fights are quite poor. Cacace vs Warrington 😢 Tyler D will get absolutely obliterated. Saying that, Buatsi fight should be good as well. Joshua SHOULD win via ko max 2
Liam wasn’t himself against eurbank the second time hope we get the best version of Liam and a hope that Josh learns his lesson a just don’t see him going 12 rounds he gasses to early av always said Josh is the best 4 round fighter but a think Liam might have him over 12
I like how they’re doing face offs with undercard fighters not just main event
cause its better than the main
Because they could all be main Events regardless
Liam “obviously” smith for the win
I feel if it was Archie Peterson or Neil Johnston. I don’t we think we would be seeing a episode of this
Ffs not beefy again , he needs to be protected
Good to see two fighters can show each other respect!
Carl knows himself
😂
😂😂😂 nicely put!
Like Liam said
Smith basically admitting he's shot 😂😂
Well he has pulled out 😂
Smith's carrying some timber here. How long ago was this filmed?

@@juniorjones79 cheers, stopped from me putting the house on Kelly 😫

Agreed - these things count.
Liam has always been big outside the Ring BUT he has a great Team around him Liam will make weight EASY.

yeah, true. Probably because it was the way he lost and punishment he took
Love watching Kelly but he has no power.
Alot of British fans hate slick boxers and were happy he lost

Kelly boxes nothing like fowler ffs ya header!
Josh will make him look silly first 6 rounds,just a case of if Josh can keep the pace and doesn’t crumble from smiths pressure
Canelo didnt make Liam look silly so an average Josh has no chance... Liam will pressure him into a stoppage 6-8
@@pspeed19 Kelly is a fundamentally great fighter his boxing abilty is unquestionable.Smith even said himself the first few rounds will be tricky.I believe Josh will prove himself
This aged well
Rooting for Josh.... Liam was COOKED by Eubank but couldn't give him any credit. He's done....
And eubank was cooked at smith😂
Did smith have ankle problems in the 2nd eubank fight ? He wasn’t moving a whole lot compared to the first fight or were my eyes making it up
It is common knowledge that Liam was injured in the second fight
@andym9626 Yes he was.... the difference is... he took his licks like a man and gave no excuses. Smithy and his trainer, on the other hand, whinned like a bi-aach!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Southpoint2019 nope.... its something he does regularly (cracking his ankles) during fights and in training
This could be a great fight. Ive been really impressed with Kelly lately
Proper sportsmanship
Well done fella’s. May the best man win
Liams favourite word is 'Obviously' lol
2 proper boxing men going to be a good fight this
Looking forward to this one. Glad im going 😊
Kelly wins this. Been quietly improving since the Avanesyan lost. Smith blows up far too much between fights.
Fed up of hearing excuses from various smiths. Eubank absolutely hammered him
Every single up and coming fighter tries to catch a name on their way down. It happens in boxing, and in the ufc it's normal. I'm sure Liam has done the same thing somewhere along the line
Beefy in the same shape as the Eubank Rematch…
Smith is levels above Kelly absolute madness match up
I agree, I try to steer clear of gambling but these odds are too good to be true, gonna make some money on this.
Kelly will win this bout ..no doubts..smith is shot..what eubank did..Kelly will do far more...going to fill my boots on Kelly winning
Cant wait goodluck kelly

I can’t stand Liam Smith. A man that talks about no excuses then gives pure excuses. The whole Smith family were all well overhyped by Scousers mainly
They got in there and had a go though
2 of them world champions how is that overhyped what a stupid comment how many world titles have u won
I never heard any excuses on rematch loss to Eubank when it was pretty clear his ankle was rolling from round two
One was an unifed world champion beat only by Canelo and Bertabiev hardly overhyped
@@Britpopsoul 👏👏 mic drop
Beefys defo been scoffing that scouse 😂😂
Mentality is key ! Josh will stop Liam late !
Love the scouse T-shirt tan lad😂
Yes Liam ❤🙏👍👋👏💪
Liam late...goes similiar to the Avanyesan fight imo. Kelly looks good early, unravels mid/late rounds.
Liam Smith doesn't half talk, jesus.

The worst face off I’ve ever seen. I thought they were gonna start kissing
Least its honest. Instead of the macho bullshit of others 😂
Anyone that gets beat off Chris Eubank needs to pack it in
Think.liam is being a little arrogant really by saying the part about getting him at the right time, repeated it several times. Very good fighter but I feel in his head he's alot better than he is
Liam or carl never mentioned kellys mind coach or juicing allegations. Jonny nelson would have to spice it up.
Think that might’ve all came about after this was recorded
Who's alleged he's juicing?

Not anymore bud smith out with a virus
Think Smith will win this ,think Josh was one of them that was supposed to shine really bright ,but he just hasn't done it .
100% fight of the night. Smith wins for me. Should be fun though. Probably get boxed around for a few rounds before he takes over with a late stoppage or UD. The majority of the fights are quite poor. Cacace vs Warrington 😢 Tyler D will get absolutely obliterated. Saying that, Buatsi fight should be good as well. Joshua SHOULD win via ko max 2
What is this budget upload? Turn the lights on.
Fancy Josh Kelly smith is old great fighter but think he’s done can see Kelly stopping him mid-late by KO
Liam smith looked washed out in 2nd Eubank fight…. I’m not sure he’s got anything left in the tank
Can they not turn the lights up a bit 🤨 so dark, not as dark as Hutchinson vs buatsi couldn't see them 😅could only here them
Im going josh kelly on points

Always like Liam and Josh Kelly seems a bit more grown up these days. I reckon beefy wins on points
Kelly? Who's he?
Liam certainly beefed up
Not guna lie but scared for Liam at this point hopefully Liam comes through winner

Really hope beefy wins this but am thinking Josh might get the better good fight though!
Josh kelly seems like a really nice fella
Liam just pictures Ben shalom's face on josh in the ring 😂😂😂.
Fights not happening now 😢
Wonder what excuse smith has for this when he gets done. “Oh something always wrong in camp again”
Yep, spot on! Fights off! Look at the size of smith here - his cheeks are like a hamster!🤦♂️
Smith will catch up with Kelly after 6 rounds walk him down and stop him as easy as night follows day
Liam. Show them. Kidda.
Come on beefy 👊💯
Liam doesnt look in great shape tbh
Big up. Beefy straight from eubank to this
Ironically both these guys have been rivals of Eubank & Benn who are bigger names
And yet
Smith & Kelly have achieved more
May the best man win.🇮🇪🙏✝️

The money was too good to turn it down, if Liam turned the fight down he would not of got another chance
