By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten welterweight prospect Josh Kelly (7-0, 5 KOs) out-boxed Commonwealth 147 lb. champion Kris George (14-2, 8 KOs) in stopping him after the 7th round on Saturday night in a surprisingly competitive fight at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle, UK. George’s corner halted the fight. It was one-sided for the most part, but still far too competitive for all the hype that surrounds Kelly. He should have trounced George, but he couldn’t do that. The power just wasn’t there for the 2016 Olympian.

Does Ricky Burns get the recognition he deserves?
By Gavin Howie: With only a few days to go before Ricky Burns steps into the ring with Anthony Crolla at the Manchester Arena this Saturday night, I have been bemused at the lack of support or even press coverage for Burns. I have seen not 1 single piece of press for him in any of the newspapers, and only little coverage through online media. I don’t think that is fair on a future Hall of Famer.
