Anybody watching on Now TV?
I purchased the Big Fight Bundle a while back but still haven't received my fight code for Box office.

If anyone hasn't seen the first fight between the lad from NZ against the Welsh lad, watch it.

Wow the Welsh lad really bottled it there

A mad fight. He could have easily stopped that lad from NZ.

He dominated 5 and a half rounds but after the knockdown, instead of finishing him off, he became all tentative

Anyone have a free stream for this please?

I don't have a Sky sub either, you can buy it here
Otherwise you'd be looking for pirate links I'd say.

This is really impressive from Kelly so far. He has been such a surprise since turning pro.

Really rate him. And he's being matched hard from the off and coping easily.

Of course having Adam Booth as his trainer really helps. I think Booth is one of the best trainers in the world.

How many rounds are we giving David Price this evening? Can't see anything other than a fierce headache in store for him. Those closest to him shouldn't have let him out of retirement.

I must be the only one not convinced by Kelly. I think he's going to regret all the unnecessary movement at some point down the line. Whenever he meets a puncher he's going to walk into something big. Not as slick as advertised imo thought he got tagged a fair bit tonight.

I'd be surprised if it goes past 4.

Is there a Tottenham player in Burnett's corner?

walshb

Is Burnett any use? I have no real view on him..

Joeseph Balls

Is it povetkin v price next?

On the fence as well. I see Inoue is actually his mandatory. That would tell us all we need to know.

Yes

Burnett is good and improving all the time. Might be a bit fortunate with who he has faced to win the titles but that's not his fault.

normanoffside

I think Burnett is lacking power to convincingly carry off his style

Bowlardo

Am I silly for thinking that Parker could do some damage here!

At 236 lbs and a pro boxer....no...

Either way he'll be taken out before rd 6

Morrison J

I think Burnett is very good. He's just unlucky he has two elite fighters in Tete and Inoue in his division though. I think he loses to both but there's no shame in that.

walshb

The last two fights have been sh1t..

If he can get past the first five rounds, he can cause AJ problems.

Do you not think there's alot of similarities between Kelly and Burnett? If Kelly was an Irish Olympian, we'd be screaming about how good he is and the level he fought oppositions he's fought after 6 fights. I'm not saying tonights performance from Kelly was flawless but after 6 fights, he's looked really impressive.

I suppose it's all relative to the hype they're receiving. Kelly is being labelled the English Lomachenko and other mental stuff like that. He's also at 147 and he's not in the same league of a Crawford or Spence nor will he ever be. Don't see him ever winning a world title in that division.

I think Burnett is better at the Booth style than Kelly is too. Doesn't waste as much energy, doesn't get caught with as many shots and picks his shots way better. Kelly is still developing so we'll see but I'm not blown away by him to be honest. No doubt having Booth is a major advantage though.

Price looks petrified...
