Tonight showed there's a difference between looking good and actually being good.
Pressure bursts pipes thats what u seen
Spot on , pre fight I had the same outcome but 9-12. Levels.
@@JB.87 indeed J B
Absolutely. Some things you’ve either got or you haven’t.
Kelly is a fantastic boxer you can't deny it, did this fight come too soon? Yes. Did he show that he can box at that level? Yes. Just a case of experience and having fight management when it gets tough etc.. he will be back!
Another phone call for Joshua to make 😂
Lmao uncle aj
Fr🤣
Savage
😂😂
Bhahahahaha
I’ve never been more confident backing an underdog as what I was tonight. No high guard, no fundamental defense from Josh Kelly. Even when he’s been hurt he’s still trying to rely on flashy reflexes. Easy money.
Kelly thinks he’s Roy Jones Jr,😂but he got found out tonight,super hand speed,just needs to work on his defence and stop looking at himself in the ring
Such a strange display by Kelly. His ring IQ was awful. Why would you start to drift away from what was CLEARLY working for the first few rounds? He doesn't have the strength or punch power to fight toe to toe like he did in the last 2 rounds. Congratulations to Avenesyan
Roy jones also lost fights so non sense comment from you
@@FalloutboyLetsPlays Way past his prime tho, in his prime he was unbeatable
@@KD-vq2wt no he was also beaten and he was not old there
@@FalloutboyLetsPlays Did I say he was old??? No I said out of prime
The smugness of josh after the first three rounds was actually embarrassing
Eddie "Joshua called Kelly last night" Hearn
Frank Warren be sitting there, wearing he best suit, with a big smile on his face , doing shoulder rolls in the mirror right about now !
😂 😂
Underrated comment. You got it spot on.
😂😂😂 "shoulder rolls"
Shoulder shuffles not rolls
He’ll be practicing his speech for his interview with Ifl for Monday 😂😆
Hearn gutted Josh couldn't get it to the cards.
LOOOOOL
Tbf kelly was winning the earlier rounds.
Innit it’s so corrupt
@@finleythomas1717 your so damn right, especially when Hearn is involved!!!
So this fight proves Kelly not even at European level
@Herb Dragon 01 he shouldn’t have taken the fight then
The fight was for the European title, so he's obviously at European level. He lost so he's not world level yet
@@jimjones2757 He hasn't even won a British title, so is he even that level?
@Herb Dragon 01 number of fights doesn’t matter. Lopez has 3 titles after what 15 or so fights at 22 beating Loma. If you’re good enough you’re good enough. I actually give props to Kelly though because there is too much stat padding in the sport.
Another matchroom hype job bites the dust. Love to see it
Josh Kelly stepped up to a former world champion in his 11th fight. How people can moan that he’s been “exposed” is laughable - him and camp fought he was ready so they took the challenge. He took an L. It’s not the end of the world. Fact is he still tried and didn’t just carry on fighting nobodies to pad his career.
Josh Kelly just got battered by a guy who made Lamont Peterson look like Floyd Mayweather and Mean Machine look like Mike Tyson. Let's not pretend Ava is top level because he isn't, but he's certainly a level above Josh Kelly. He has no chance of winning a world title at 147 or 154. He should get a few ribs removed and drop down to 140 lol.
@@SiLoMixMaster well he’s mixed with the top flight. Nearly triple the amount of fights so he’s got the experience - I just think people give people stick to those that take challenges and also for taking easier fights. Didn’t find out what caused the cut on Kelly’s scalp early on - not saying it’s a reason why he’s lost but not seen a bleed from there before and it didn’t want to stop.
Mate he did the funky chicken dance before the towel was thrown in.... he WAS exposed.
dsroa, Just shut up.
@@RevJamesCostello sorry mate wrong guy 😂🙈
Eddie Hills wearing his schoolboy cricket outfit. 30 pace run-up, coming in like Bob Wilis...
I genuinely like that Eddie hearns shows are entertaining. His fighters don’t fight cab drivers
@It doesn’t matter no, come on now. David is no joke, he is danger
@It doesn’t matter the guy literally had a WBA title, granted it’s not worth a lot but I doubt he’s that much of an easy fighter after beating Shane mosley(granted an old one) but still a hall of famer and then losing to lamont Peterson. But let’s be honest Kelly was never top ten, barely out of European level but let’s not be daft and say David was a walk over
Commentators were talking up the "dog" in kelly and Av needing to be careful. Didnt see a lot of that, Av chewed him up. Booths cornering at the end of the 4th was atrocious! Instilled even more fear in Kelly!
Kelly said “I’m not going anywhere” when Ava landed in the 4th. Booth heard it. Kelly was trying to convince himself he wasn’t going anywhere lol doesn’t have it I’m afraid
@@mrsugar2352 interesting you said that, some deep psychology going on lol
Adam Booth - a guy who made his name piggy backing off David Haye's natural power
He’s always so smug as well
Well said
Adam Booths fighters are just getting worse and worse, I recon Conlon will be leaving soon
@@WALTONCHIEF I agree, conlon being the better technician and holding more power I don't think he needs to rely on his corner men as much as kelly
Josh looked to have serious stamina issues. He was spent after coming out in round 5 and couldn't breathe.
Probs off all the walking backwards he done 😂 😂
@rhys null or not enough 😂
Too much showboating, too much time on the back foot, too much trying to stay philly shell when Avanesyan was southpaw. To be (potentially) a bit soft on him, he lost a fair bit of blood to that gash too, it was still running down his chest when they annonced the result. Hopefully its a wake up call that makes him work harder for bigger things.
He doesn't breathe properly. He was hyperventilating at the end of round 4 and you could see his performance in round 5 had dropped because he wasn't getting the oxygen levels to his muscles and round6 he had dropped right off. He doesn't handle the stress.
His stamina wasn't the problem... Not having the heart was the problem
Kelly ducked for 2 years, game plan not even good enough for a gym fighter.
How did he duck lol
@@glenallsopp280 He pulled out with a fake injury after the weigh-in 2 years ago. They all knew what was going to happen.
@@glenallsopp280 the fact you’re asking that means you just a casual! Please go educate yourself
No shock whatsoever to me this result! Could see this coming a mile off from the moment this fight was announced, Kelly doesn’t have the presence to overwhelm guys of this level! Don’t think we needed this fight to prove that either
The Ray Robinson fight completely exposed Kelly, Ava just destroyed what was left.
I always said anyone at elite level would beat Josh kelly
Same as I was thinking from word go
This is European level, if Kelly can’t beat guys like this then he should call it a day!
@@nanunana2647 you don’t quit your job because you ain’t the best in the world at it.
Kelly is just a "Fancy Dan" with no real power. Only way you can get away with that flashy style is if you have 1 punch KO power. Naz and Roy Jones could do it because they had that big punch but Kelly has nothing. Good win for the Russian.
Armenian
Naz fought bums and quit at the first hurdle
josh kelly all flash no substance not been a good fortnight for eddie either
I'm sure he'll live lol
Frank Warren's shoulders doing the mexican way right nown😂
Not really
'mexican wave' not 'way'
Its about the 16th person who's said that joke but still funny!!
Warrington, now Kelly! Lol Eddie is burning
Its bcuz he makes tough fights, do u just want to see bumfights.?
Eddie makes the fights he can't controll what goes on once the bell goes. Lol people said his empire was crumbling when AJ lost to ruiz yet Hearn is probably about to make the biggest fight in boxing history since thrilla in manila
@@lslinkx8026 who said I was complaining? For the viewers it’s good but for Eddie it isn’t
@@patrickmonkman8151 no doubt! Hard to say Eddie isn’t the best boxing promoter right now
Bloke is a money machine i think he will be ok.
Avanesyan is a killer but the Eddie formula is so elite. He's so good at his job. Such a sly guy. He bigs up the opponent of his fighter win or lose to make his fighter seem more impressive than they actually are
He's good at psychology is Eddie.
Bullshit baffles brains
The way he speaks and articulate his phrases is definitely a skill he has mastered. Dude knows how to talk and handle business
@@southpawboxing4265 maybe. I prefer the theory most of the public are mugs though.
See tears in Eddie's eyes lol broken man the last few weeks
Still rich
Think he's just looking fwd to canelo fighting under his promotion, doubt he's that bothered
@@Toon1893 ain't about money 😂
Josh Kelly is absolutely nothing special. It is very annoying to see somebody built up like this, then humiliated and stopped at European/fringe world level. Maybe stop doing it?
Who built him up tho I have not seen any real fight fan or any fan building him up
You’d rather fighters just fight knock over jobs then? This is what’s wrong with boxing and why we don’t get the best fights majority of the time... folk like you are the problem with that negative mindset...
Scottys shizzle bro chill out kelly has had 10 pro fights and in his last fight was lucky to get a draw against a very poor journeyman, this was to soon for him
The great white hope will always continue 😂 Fury is the next victim if he doesn't retire
@@susie1711 why’s it got to be about race?
Eddie Hearn’s fighters are getting taken out and swatted like flies recently lmao.
he prolly signed avanesyan after the fight
@@igavehimadollar3354 he's got a three fight deal with Matchroom👀!
Dillian Whyte must be bricking it lol, then Billy Joe in May will get pummelled by Canelo.
@@ph5374 hahahahahaha in the end eddie wins everytime
Exactly why I bet against Kelly tonight, I could see it happening
*Knew this would happen kelly is wide open no power will get stopped by all top 15 in ww division*
No doubt. Boots isn’t even ranked top 15 and would destroy josh.
Just goes to show matchroom are actually making 50/50 fights instead of throwing prospects in with guys who are over the hill. Fair play eddie hearn
2:23 Carl Froch poking his head round the corner eyes lit up...
Hearn so clever look how he just ditches Josh Kelly and starts reeling off names for this guy. Reminds me of that kid in primary school who changes best friends every five minutes lol
It's called business... and business in the most corrupt business of all.
Doing his job at the end of the day, business is business nothing personal.
He could give give Don King a run for his money! (At being the biggest reptile ever in boxing!)
Frank warrens shoulder would be deadlier tonight than connors was vs cowboy.
Fast Eddie taking note from Don King .... Enter the ring with the champ leave the ring with the champ hahaha 🤣😂
Yep, he's probably studied Don King on how to get stinking rich & be an absolute snake with yr fighters!!!
Looking forward to the next Adam Booth interview
Josh is not a 12 round fighter, he looks absolutely untouchable for the first 3 rounds and then slowly starts to fade, all any of his future opponents have to do to win is keep coming forward and apply a bit of pressure and Kelly can’t handle it.
Why does he keep talking about josh Kelly ?!
Damn starting the year with some upsets last time it was Warrington now Kelly I wonder who’s next
Good fight. Saw a bit more of kelly on the inside and a bit more defensive work. . But hes was out worked and walked down. Josh will take alot home from tonight and come back strong ...I'm sayin✊. Good call from the corner towel too. Thanks eddy . Keep giving the fans the shows
Hearns boys being taken out 1 by 1
Kelly looks the part, looks slick against hand picked opponents etc, but it dont wash when u fight somone who is in it to win
Kelly's checking hook was incredible,great 3rounds.. Cotto was one of the best,against pressure,touch,win the exchange,move,reset,conserve energy.. Good fight..
Aj will be opening a call centre soon for all these losses 😂
Avenesyan way to rugged and a rung above... just walked Josh down, and despite that one left hook he couldn’t push him back, fairly alarming how quickly Kelly unravelled though... needs to rebuild
Eddie Hern once quoted his dad Barry Hern " always leave a bit of bread in the fishes mouth " . Once you work out who the fish is you'll understand the Hern family philosophy of buisiness .
Are we the fish? 🐠
Can fish eat bread?
Thanks dad
Kelly was the same against robbinson good up until he gets hit but its obvious to see that he has not got the heart or will power as soon as he gets hit back he crumbles
Why put a prospect in against a world class fighter then eddie?
Make all the excuses you want, Josh Kelly lacks the discipline to reach the top. He was picking him off at will in the first 4 rounds then dropped off and let Ava back into the fight. The jab was landing, he was countering him with hooks, but when he actually needed to go through the gears, he got told to just “go and win the rounds”, and got found out.
Nothing to do with discipline he just lacks power
This is so refreshing to see
Josh should’ve pounced when he stunned him in the 2nd. Had to take that chance and push. He’ll be back. Great fight from both fighters.
This was gonna happen at some point although Kelly was not showing of as much tonight but you kinda feel with his previous performances in the ring that someone was going to come along and shock him
Kelly is 26, people talk about him like he’s 18. Career done for Kelly now. Where does he go from here
Eddie will have no one left after Fury smashes AJ up. 🤣
You stupid 😂😂😂😂😂🖕
Fury will avoid AJ and have a “tune up” before he gets knocked out. Already lining up the “inactivity” excuses.
Zero defence from Josh and if you wanna flaunt it in the ring you’ve got to be able to back it up. Great fight and well deserved win for David.
This was a massive step up in levels for jk Probably 2/3 big fights off fighting this guy but eddie loves abit of a mismatch
Josh kelly vs joe laws, bum of sunderland vs bum of Newcastle, make it happen eddy 😂😂
He don’t like cricket.....he loves it.....aaaaah - Mr. Eddie Hearn, 2021
Kelly VS Kerman next🔥💣
Devin Haney probably will be Eddie’s only undefeated fighter
Until he fights Tank
Smashed to bits in 6. Ava just gave Kelly a beating that's been marinating for 2 years since Kelly pulled out with a fake injury after the weigh-in 2 years ago. Adam Booth thought he could age Ava and Kelly would be able to stop him lmao - he was wrong.
"Illness" not injury. I was at that show and only found out on the night. Lacks mental fortitude in my opinion. Reckon Adam Booth knows that too. Seemed incredibly eager to throw the towel in when things got tough, as if he knew there was no chance of riding it out.
David deserves a shot So All the welter weights look out because David is coming great fight .💪💪💯🥊🥊
Josh ate some humble pie
Had Avenesyan late didn’t think it’d be that early, josh Kelly is a great 4 round fighter.
Literally just said the same thing to another guy. He has so much talent, but it’s like he hits a brick wall after a few rounds. Never seen anything like it 🤷🏻♂️
@@boxing.clever looked like the second coming of floyd mayweather for 4 rounds 😅 (maybe going a bit over the top) but so weird how much control David took of the fight after round 4
@@bigdave7021 No, I totally get it. He does it in every fight. Virtually untouchable first few rounds, then sloooowwwwsss right down as if it’s round 12. Considering he’s in such good shape, they may want to look into a heart check up. It’s not right 😯
@@boxing.clever as someone who has a heart defect I’m inclined to agree with you, there’s no other way of explaining it, only other thing could be that he might be struggling with the weight.

That's what happens when you have experience fighting legends. ( Shane Mosley )
Problem is Kelly will do a squat thrust to avoid a feeler jab. This is to look cool, but eventually it gasses any fighter out. Adam booth should have immediately slapped that out of him after seeing him gas before. He didn't, which I'm shocked by.
Kelly and ritson should work for field packaging or in an egg factory.
I knew Kelly won't win this fight ,he is a very good boxer but as they say there is levels to the sport of boxing avanesyan showed he knows what and how to win in this fight in my opinion Kelly is to me only just a prospect and can come again so its back to the drawing board for now
Kelly is talented but David was tough and very durable. Kelly needs to work on his short close up combos and clearly defensive work. Relies too much on his reflexes and long-range punches.
When the Russian threw a 1-2 from orthodox stance and then followed with a strong right hook from southpaw stance I knew it will be a long night for Kelly
If he was concentrating more on boxing instead of being so flashy and smiling at his opponent he might of been able to win that. Unfortunately it serves him right, he underestimated his opponent massively.
'Loser' is such a strong word...
Man nuff respect to josh because he fought like a man and I pray he bounce bk! i kinda question what's wrong with the British fighters two loses in a week. Tyson fury u next to taste defeat or u gonna come up with inactive AJ will surprise the world!
Wtf first Warrington and now kelly coronavirus has done British boxing in
Josh kelly has his hands to low and should keep up the Philly shell defense more
Well done David, well done David !! Glad you put Kelly in his place mate, BACK IN HIS PRAM 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kelly is a hype job there is a huge difference between confidence and arrogance.... No defence admires his own work and tonight he falls at his first hurdle his first test and he's stopped 👎
Way to kick a man when he’s down
It's the kind of style that beats Kelly 9/10.
Fighters like Kelly nowadays wanting to have Money Mayweather's shoulder roll without completing the Pretty Boy Floyd stages first, when will they learn..? It was only recently that Anthony Yarde was doing the same thing and then got ko'd by a JAB and then took an L against some guy named Lyndon Arthur.
He must be sick of promoting people with names josh. Two weeks straight.
Seen Berchelt stay to long only his was concussion rather than lung expansion issue. Josh in corner was close to hyperventilation as his lungs would not expand and loitered in 2nd wind transition. I do not care who you are,cannot compete without air.
All of Eddie's golden Boys are getting best. Eddie must have some sleepless nights
All his fighters getting slapped about 😂 Can’t wait to see Eddie’s excuse when Fury schools AJ 😂
Joshua's turn too, Fury going to end Matchroom 😂
Fair play clearly a better fighter unlucky josh Kelly was hoping you would win
Seems a lot of people revelling in Kelly's demise, on his past performances I didn't think he would win so I wasn't shocked. It's a tough sport hope Josh can regroup and come again no shame in this loss I've yet to watch the fight congratulations to David Respect to both of these lads.
Eddie '2 v-neck sweater' Hearn
That style doesn’t work, it’s too clumsy, when you try and do excessive matrix stuff you have already lost... You’re fighting purely for the aesthetic image, being overly concerned with how it appears to the viewer and not focussing on simply getting the win. It only looks good against sh*t fighters. Roy Jones / Mayweather etc only did that kind of stuff when it was absolutely necessary. Kelly did it too much and got exposed more than once. Focus on fighting and fundamentals, not tryna look pretty.
Is Eddie signing up Avenesyvan
Probably got a 2 fight option with him like he does every time one of his guys loses.
This is going to happen more and more.Theres real hunger out there with alot of fighters coming from poor ares of the world and theyre hungry..To me Kelly looked a bit heavy set and was fighting of the front foot too much.Hes young.He can make it..
All about levels. What WAS HEARN thinking putting a relative NOVICE against the European champion and former world champion. Mismatch
Wow can't say i din't see it coming
Rematchroom is going DOWN ! X
All these matchroom hype trains falling off the rails 🤣
Wouldn't say he's 2 bothered when he signs the likes of canelo
Ava made him want to quit broke his heart...after first knockdown Josh did not want it enough...Booth did right thing as saved Josh from getting the crap beat out if him...
This division better watch out for Conner Benn ⚠️
David's, Marvin Hagler style is effective, love that defensive technique, Josh follow Prince Nassem Hamid need to be more energetic.
Head movement is all well and good but Kelly barely raised his hands in defence once. I don’t know what Adam Booth is being paid for.
Good fight fp. Cheers eddy
Second prospect in London destroyed in like a month
Josh is a world class athlete with fast twitch reflexes, but he lacks complete seasoning. It was an elite amateur V a European level pro boxer. Josh can come back from this but it's going to take sooooooooooo much effort and changes to his set-up. I wish Josh well and hope he can put the effort in to make the necessary changes. Avanesyan could work his way into a World title shot from this.
Or he could concentrate on boxing not being a smug mackem.
Josh "Turn the head back" Kelly
Kelly hasn’t got the stamina and gameplan to carry those tactics out for 12 rounds straight . if he doesn’t take them out early like tonight, he start to takes some shots snd then he’s puffing away on the stool grasping for air.
Deserves a world title shot
Knew Kelly was overrated 👍. Sky sort the commentary out..there so biased to matchroom fighters
They had the matchroom fighters behind on the cards!??
Jose Kelly was way in over his head there.
