I like DAZN highlights man. It's nearly the whole fight there! Give the guy editing them a salary raise, he deserves it!
Avanesyan's consistent body attack payed off late in the fight.
Yup, and Josh barely went to the body at all. Josh didn't realize how much effect it would have in the long run.
Big time
David also landed to the head consistently.
David is underrated. Very smart fighter
@@KingPanda369 .....How is David underrated? Because, he beat a fighter who hasn't beaten anyone?
That female commentator was right. She said Kelly's mistake is/was that he decides to stand and trade with him, which is not his strongest suit. She was right, he jumped right into the shark's territory.
The legs were gone bruh even before he got knockdown because exhaustion
I remember hearing that part as well and I agreed with her. But I think Josh didn't have a choice because he was gassed out. Moving around the ring like he did in the early rnds was out the window when you're exhausted and thats why i thinj he started to stay flat footed and trade blows.
she was right, but the man stood no chance.
I liked him up close, pushing the guy back with his weight. And smothering the other dudes. Then open up only when he wanted. The footwork wasn’t helping, it was just letting the other guy time him.
@@tangotricks Excellent observation. I agree.
Kelly gassed out His corner saved him
He gassed out? He was rocked lol
he gassed out u i diots
He gassed out because of the body attack on him.
He definitely started gassing
He could have made to come back; he wasn't finished
Kelly looks too big here. He also needs to practice keeping his hands up, that defense works until you get into higher competition. Definitely someone who looks better than he is. This going to take a toll on his mental and physical in the future, shout out to the corner who saved him some years on his life.
Not only that but he really needs to work on his conditioning it was nonexistent half way into the fight
@@kevinluna3257 he said he was tired after the first round
Well you can't say that cuz the best defensive fighters of all time used the philly shell. Its just a hard defense to master
@@OffBrisk He's like Broner. He tries to use it purely to look "cool". They're both trying to look like somebody they're not, and it just doesn't work. It never ceases to amaze me how many guys think they can just CHOOSE to use the Philly shell one day, like it's a switch you can just flip on or something lol. The instinct, punch anticipation, and reflexes you need to properly use it take years and years to develop. It's such an advanced technique and 99% of guys simply cannot do it.
@@donjohnson3888 you right bro yea a lot of people do it cuz how floyd made it look easy and they not catering to their own fighting style. N yea bro broner disappoints me everytime bro. He used to be a great inside fighter who would bully and ever since maidana he just doesnt wanna be a meme and look like floyd
Never gonna bet on anyone who's name is Josh ever again.
Anthony Joshua?
@@CoulierCuts I meant Josh in their first name
Josh Taylor?
Joshua Goring?
Taylor won't disappoint
Seriously, the DAZN commentators need to be sacked.
these guys are from europe. they know the scene over there.
Nahh it’s alway the uk guys
I agree, they are GARBAGE !
The UK commentators or the US
They are terrible
Congrats to Avenesyan from Croatia! 🇭🇷♥️🇦🇲
I know it's a minor thing but that was a perfect towel toss. Half the time the thing barely floats into the ring and the ref barely notices, that was a perfect sailing shot right in front of the ref.
Haha I don’t know why I find your comment funny.. but I agree!
Was a world class towel throw
Gotta wet one end sometimes to give some go.
I briefly thought the exact same thing!
That’s best towel toss in the history of this sport 😂😂😂😂
Call Kelly a hype job all u want, Avanesyan came to fight and fought an amazing fight!! Let's not take away from that!!
European fighters are 🗑.They are all Hype Jobs
They are all bums.
Booth and Kelly are both hype jobs
@@ryantmorgan91 Who is Booth??
@@cashman4589 p
Avanesyan's strategy was excellent. The consistent body work paid off.
When you start showboating after exactly 3 successful combinations.
Yeah, showboating doesn't win fights
@Nino Foxxx Fury is 10x the boxer that Kelly is.
For someone who uses the Philly she'll, Kelly has a HORRIBLE defense. Too cocky. Got humbled.
I wouldnt call his defense horrible. Far from it, its just his gas tank and focus. He needs to learn how to last for 12 rounds and box well throughout. The boy has skills
@@ademeta1994 you don't understand how David slowly found his range, took his positions, countered Kelly's jabs and broke him down
@@high.already @M4 Productions The Philly Shell is for rolling with punches and firing right back. Kelly in my view isn't adept at rolling punches more generally, and if that's the case the philly shell sure isn't going to be of benefit. I think Kelly is fighter who should be on his front foot, not the back foot like he's been doing recently. He's no defensive talent but the one thing he does have is wicked speed, reflexes and agility. He should be fighting on his front foot throwing combinations and then eluding like a Carl Frampton or Nonito Donaire. That's who he is, a combination throwing slickster. He aint a Tank Davis.
@@high.already thats a bold statement, i thought we were talking about Kelly not David?
@@ademeta1994 For an Olympian, Kelly's skills and fight iq are pretty low in my opinion. It's not about the problem of gas tank or focus. When David took away his jab, Kelly simply had no answer.
This is the perfect example that skills doesn't always win fights. Sometimes determination and heart does.
Skills plus heart and determination
Strength and power did the job + relentlessness. There are boxers with incredible skill that will never have the chance of gaining a belt. Why? Because they break when you hit them.
That boy was coming with that heat, especially to the body. I want to see how long he can take Bud clean shots tho, because if he can it’ll be a dog fight. Bud stops him around mid rds.
The différence was the energy gestion, kelly used to much power and his opponent was more quiet
@@stestano9 It's also because of Avenesyan's constant work to the body. He did exactly what needs to be done against a skilled boxer that's very light on his feet. He slowly broke him down one punch at a time.
Kelly be trying to make everything look pretty n perfect , that’s why he lost
Needs to change nickname
Finally, the most reasonable comment in the boxing section.
His whole style is based on posing. Not much substance at all behind the flash. He looks spectacular and dynamic and he wows you and the crowd oohs and ahhs, and then you notice he's actually getting hit a LOT. Happens every time he fights really.
No He Lost because the other One is Better
Not only.... mostly because he's was the inferior boxer
Josh Jelly thinks he's prime Roy Jones
If he had all the PEDs Roy had he could've been lol
@@econnoisseur2878 very true, people think I’m coming up from 147 in his amateur career to heavy weight is naturally achievable 😂 canelo moves up 4 weight classes and gets accused of PEDs 😂😂😂😂
@@tonydatboi5506 they both are on peds. cownelo and roidjones
He musta forgot
@@joys8634 you probably don’t know how “roids” work, Jones could of been using roids because 6 weight classes he went through. But canelo was fighting at welterweight since 16 years old and moved up to light middleweight at 20. For those who don’t weight lift 20-30 is a long time to put on at least 15 pounds of muscle with the proper diet and weight lifting I doubt he used a “steroids” he most likely uses some sort of fat burner or something that helps with stamina or endurance boxers don’t need “roids” they need drugs specially for their type of traning and “roids” isn’t exactly the smartest thing to use.
Давид - красавец! Спасибо тебе и тренерскому штабу за яркую победу!
Boy David put a clinic on Kelly just a great fight he fought bravo David.
Very smart and underrated fighter
@the dream its not barely but not fully he knocked him out its not barely
Радуемся и гордимся спасибо тебя Давид джан
Quick upload! Love it!
Everyone talking about Kelly's poor defence, but his punch accuracy left a lot to be desired. Nice flashy jabs and lead right hands just bouncing off Avaneyan's gloves.
He great clincher not boxer u mfk
😂😂😂
If you punch someone's gloves while there blocking how is that not accurate???
Amazing come back and very smart boxing for Avanesyan! Kept hands up, landing clean, lots of body punches! Loved it.
Even though these were only highlights, you seen the effect that the body work had. Beautifully done.
Давид , красавец!!! Как катком переехал !!! Шикарная работа , шикарный бой!! ✊🏼👊🏼💥
I agree
Another UK hype job bites the dust
Sure seems that way.
They only win when they run around they can’t handle the pressure you brawl
They have no power that stops guys
cmon man it has nothing to do with nationality this is more proof that boxers with losses still pose a threat to champions if there stylistically bad for them.
@@rockyrivera6397 nah bro. Uk boxers are trash. You know who next? It's BJS. End of story.
I still think Kelly got the goods he just needs to fight smarter.
Great boxer but lacks power. All it takes is for one shot to land and bam...
needs a new trainer.
Great fighter just don’t think he can take a punch
I think he is cutting too much. He's a big guy for the class and might be killing himself in camp. Let's try 54
@@DTR1LL He caught David with a solid hook in round 2 I believe which could have gotten him a win if he would have kept following up
Excellent job David! Lesson of discipline and humbleness!
Josh Kelly very talented, I can really see he has potential. His defense isn't tight enough. He can improve though
Respect to Kelly's corner for making the call when he was in danger
I got mad respect for both of them, for Kelly for stepping up and Avanesyan for teaching him a lesson about deep waters
nah
The energy drop of the British commentators from the 1st rd-6th was hilarious
Who cares shoot Props to Kelly even hurting the Russian at 1:41
Kelly is fast for sure gave tge Russo problems
@@ziggyc4474 Armenian.
I could watch this all day, Great for boxing.
Credit to Avanesyan....he actually was smart enough to put in a lot of work to the body to slow Kelly down...and it worked. No single shots doing massive damage but a steady accumulation.
Death by a thousand cuts.
Every time someone uses the shell people say he's fighting like Floyd. But you can tell Kelly has been watching Floyd lately with how he started the fight. Philly shell, check hook and body jabs all in the 1st minute lol
Yeah. He's talented but tonight was not his night.
Facts that shoulder row can make or break you fasho
Just need to pay the drug testers and refs if ya want to emulate floyd 🤣
Josh has skills but horrible ref and game plan
@@THE.SALINAS.O.G. do you think the towel came in to early? Sure he needs to get some defensive skills if he wants to mix with the top boys
kelly got thought a lesson and got humbled
Bruhh.. I swear i dont wanna watch any more british fighters..
You don't want Fury vs Joshua?
@@stolephorus3827 Well that's the only British fight that im going to watch because these 2 are the most talented british fighters at the moment. Apart from that i cannot think anybody else to be honest. Who else is there really?
@@fz7793 Josh taylor or maybe Joe Joyce🤷♂️
@@xaviergautier8223 Joy Joyce is overrated
Why would you not watch British fighters? Just because they lost a few? Kelly showed great skill here. He lost but that shouldn’t be a reason to stop watching him entirely. Don’t know why a loss on the record turns people off from boxers nowadays. All the greats had em.
he looks big and powerfull dang.. then get destroyed because of too much confidence. you are no floyd.
He does NOT have the skill to the shell. He also needs to work on his footwork. For a former Olympian, Kelly has not really impressed me. Also If I'm not mistaken, he started off in a higher weight class when he turned pro as well. Shameful...
@@cap19x1 being a bigger fighter in this fight, he was bullied and beaten to pulps by a smaller one lol
not too much confidence, he's was just the lesser fighter period.
Kelly will learn from this fight. It will make him better. He looked super sharp early. He needs to working on his timing and stamina. The skill is there.
He probably wouldn't've gassed out if he didn't loose some much blood from that cut and had better endurance and stamina
he needs to stop pretending to be roy jones jr and Mayweather and actually box as much as his skill level will allow. Tried to pretend and got cooked.
Clearly the skill isn't there because he was getting outboxed
@@cristiancastor4531 watch arce's fights, pacquiao v morales I, you'll understand you are wrong
Always satisfying to see the "pretty boy" get juiced😂😂
Este tipo es una máquina! Pedazo de boxeador!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Too bad Josh Kelly doesn't know how to use Michigan's style to defend himself in the best way, this man is very talented but what a bad defense.
Even Floyd doesn't do it as often as Josh
These kids want 2 b floyd
@@gugulethuzangwa8358 Just like how many tried to emulate Ali. They'll never learn.
@@miguelberetta7887 yea because Floyd knows when to put his hands up. It seems like josh almost never does it at all
philly shuffle/shell? Yes, fighters from michigan perfected this.... i.e. floyd.
Always knew this guy a hype job. I laughed so hard when he got countered in every single jab he threw in the 6th round.
there is a stretch where josh is getting absolutely battered and the commentators don’t acknowledge any of it just blab about something else. 😂😂 6:45 - 7:05
Yes that was very noticeable. Disgraceful commentating.
Such British.
Congrats to Avanesyan👍What a savage💯
My father always told me keep your hands up and hit hard don t show off don't play around. It isn't effective and indeed he was right. The other guy fought simple but effective. Great job
I'm sorry but hearns UK fighters just keep on losing and losing
@Idk Idk joshua. As in AJ
Whyte Warrington Smith Kelly are the ones that come to mind are there more?
yeah say that to Tyson Fury...
Josh Taylor?
tis quite sad ainit bruv?
Eddie’s boys are dropping like flies !!
There's levels to this. Josh Kelly was flashy without heart. Better he learned his lesson now.
Lol, this a non stop pace fight, i bet you never took a punch inside the ring but you are saiyn he aing got no heart 🤦♂️ KEYBOARD WARRIOR
@@privatehacks1397 Yeah he had heart! He came to fight he just lost no shame in it. He lost to a champion right? Most dudes scared to even get in the ring with a champion
@@privatehacks1397 yea definitely a keyboard warrior to exaggerate like that.
Fact
The man showed a heart, he lost for lack of defense.
Why use the Philly shell when you're not rolling incoming punches with the shoulders and Cant/Refuse to fight on the inside?? 🤦🏿♂️
Какой молодец Давид! Выдержал начальные раунды и просто раздавил в концовке
Давид красавчик, с победой и новых побед тебе!!! Ты гордость нашего города!!!))))))
This fight reminds of Rocky vs Apollo Creed. Where Apollo was dominating Rocky but he kept moving forward and eventually ended up with the KO.
Looks like the hype train just crashed! I'm sure he'll bounce back stronger than ever but it is a learning lesson.
Cannot do chyte without air...... Defending yourself 101
yeah he'll get some easy fights and build up again. but is he really better than European level, lack of iq I saw was unbelievable.
Oops, learned a lesson about showboating before he got the fight in the bag.
The dude was losing a lot of blood, you guys do know when you lose a lot of blood you lose strength stamina and get dizzy right?
People don’t know because the ones with the ‘strongest’ opinions have no clue of what is even like getting in that ring. I must say tho, Kelly got worked that night
this may have been a contributing factor....
Okay and ? What’s your point ?
you haven't watch any Arce's fights,
Wow 😱 what a Match ,I love watching Josh Kelly, this boxing can be anything ,but i fell sad ,respect for the two warriors⚡👀
Respect to both of them they really went in
Exposed by David AVanesyan, but not forget that his performance against Robinson wasn´t as elite worthly.
If they lose they bums
@@juanmata515 Yes, just Avanesyan is a Elite Boxer.
He was only exposed to the people who didn’t know what they were watching in the first place. Most people reading this allow the people on television to think for them.
@@MicoRich thank you 🙏 that’s my point
These guys think because they use the Philly shell they magically become floyd or Tony LoL
Wow!!! Crazy!! Conected a lot of power shots!
Let’s goooo!!!!!!!!!! Avanesyan with the win !!!! You a true warrior man !!!!!!
More hype jobs getting exposed
Looks like it.
Specifically British ones
Devin haney next👀
@@Pubify17 they not ready for that conversation!
Was there anyone who actually thought Kelly would be a world champion? He's not bad, but a fringe contender at best.
You never start a fight with shoulder roll...left hand was not controlling the distance
I love this fight. Persistence. Focus.
Excellent fight!
This commentary was atrocious they only talked when Taylor landed and refused to mention any damage that he was taking
@@kabbalah11 he was doing quite well but Avanesyan was clearly landing some bombs that the commentators didn’t mention at all. I feel for the uk fans, they’ve been getting batterd lately, first Smith, then Campbell, then Warrington, and now Kelly. I hope they catch a W soon.
Who's Taylor?
Lol...British commentators always turning a blind eye when the non British boxer starts leading the action and connecting the best shots. Embarrassing. Ava landing the best shots and these unprofessional and biased hooligans talking on other subjects.
Yup, its great to watch in retrospect how its "all kelly", his technique is brilliant, the speed, the philly shell, the footwork, the coaches... until hes all bloody and hes getting outclassed and then suddenly they have to "change sides" in the matter of 10 seconds.
Great fight by both guys
Both 'josh' warrington and 'josh' kelly getting whooop this month....eddie hearns must be curse...!!
Keep your eye on Dennis McCann
Well done Avanesyan🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲Proud Armenian
I'm so happy for him. Didn't expect him winning this fight, Kelly was really hyped. This reminds me Loma vs Russel Jr. When fast boxer faces smart boxer, the speed difference is no longer important. This Armenian is smart fighter for sure.
Relentless! That boi a DAWG!
Kelly cuts to easily to keep his hands down. He always ends up making head contact cause he has no guard and he isn’t fast enough to keep up with any real competition.
Effectiveness of sustained pressure demonstrated by Avanesyan!
That was AMAZING! Pure heart from
Красава, Давид!!!! С победой!!!
I’m in America and I’m really starting to enjoy UK boxing
I love the sarcasm.
Great fight!
Давид - красавец! Стойкий. Настоящий воин!
Well done David... 🇬🇷🇦🇲🤩
Армения + Греция = 💪💪💪🤝🤝🤝🇦🇲🇬🇷
Заслуженная победа!
Great fight.
I remember when people were saying this guy was the next Loma, fuxk me
Bro i think that :") idk why but he is down more in every figth , he was a beast and now is sad
@@eliasjimenez8994 he was a beast but is not evolving....he thinks he can pull off the same sloppy hands down defense with top tier fighters as he did with lower tier fighters and I still believe he's got potential tho.....maybe he needs a change in traning
@@EKleKtiKSound facts
he gotta go back to basics ...rocky style... he does have a lot of potential
Josh Kelly is like the Welterweight version of Caleb Plant imo
With less punching power, and worse defense...not that Caleb is an elite fighter or anything yet
@@esoakunne5590 Caleb is a champion so by definition he is an elite 168lb fighter
I'm September Alvarez Will destroy it
Kelly has alot of potential.. needs to keep hands up .. couple years ago he was the bigger version of Lomachenko with fluid movement .. granted against lower competition.. but this isn’t the end for this kid .. still young and can come back stronger
He reminds me of a smaller version of Caleb Plant!
David Avanesyan 🥇🏆💥🥊The Legend 🇦🇲
Never give up josh. Come back soon💯✊🏽
Kelly never kept that hands up and never changed speeds on his punches making it easier to time.
Reminds me of Amir Khan
Brits are falling faster than the Stock Market when it crashed one year ago 2/20/20. *LOL*
Yo LoL.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@A N the 4 is with a Nigerian dude with a a uk passport .. y’all just have 1 belt in fury and I don’t it is going to last 😂😂
LOL
Great fight
Congratulations to Avanesyan from Mexico. 🇲🇽🤝🇦🇲♥️

But the only division that really matters (Heavyweight) is dominated by British fighters. So no, not really.
@@remitto8367 If you say so but AJ also got exposed badly by Ruiz even though AJ won the rematch it will never be the same by KO than stacking points.
Heavyweights is owned by the brits and won't be going anywhere else for years. Crazy wilder was found out by the first decent Brit he faced. And big baby miller, don't get started. ..
@@andybud1983 that’s Bc there’s no competition right now other than Andy ruiz lol any other weight class has no brits BJS is another hype job that’s about to get expose by canelo 😂
@@carlosmor5535 Andy fought a out of shape AJ in the first fight, yeah AJ was big asf Bc he was preparing for a dude who weights 300 pounds so he packed on some extra muscle but ended up fighting Andy ruiz with fast hands. The rematch it was it was the opposite, Andy ruiz got too confident and AJ was on a mission lost all that extra muscle for speed and Andy ruiz put on some 20 extra pounds of fat form all that celebrating. Now Andy is traning with canelo and lost those extra pounds, we’ll see the best versions of both of them if there’s a 3rd fight.
Became a huge fan of avanesyan today
Back of the head finish at the last end of the match awesome
Another Brit boxer that doesn't live up to the hype of the fight commentators.
His weight is the issue, either work harder on dieting or move up
He has those big arms but doesn't even punch hard.
Back here since Bud and David been announced... I see David getting stopped but this was a great win against Josh Kelly!
Tough loss, but necessary. Time to learn and come back stronger.
