00:00Respect, keep it clean, listen to me, and defend yourself at all times. Good luck lads, shake hands.
00:20Josh Kelly's box three times since that Williamson win.
00:25Two South Americans with a combined 42-3 record of course Ishmael Davis.
00:31The late Liam Smith's replacement. Plenty of frustration and plenty that he still wants to prove.
00:38And those who know Flavius Beer well say he wants flat-footed opponents who stand in front of him.
00:44And he's up against the opposite of that tonight, Barry.
00:47He is, yeah.
00:49Awesome.
00:50What a start this is for Kelly.
00:52Maybe he's not, though, because Kelly's holding his feet here, feeling strong, looking strong, you have to say that.
00:58And with the speed that he has, he can afford to let his punches go.
01:01He doesn't always have to be on his toes, dancing role.
01:05He can do that, though, in his sleep and make you miss, make you pay.
01:09But if he can show a different side of his game, pushing people back with a solid jab and going through the gears.
01:14And I'm going to put a few fighters on notice.
01:19Steve Bunz pointed that out, didn't he, that he felt he'd come in with a lot of weight on.
01:24He felt that he wanted to make a statement that he was in the mood to stop this fella.
01:28He was beaten just once, stopped by Valentin Golovko in the final round of 12 in 2017.
01:38He lost pretty much every round against Sandor Martin prior to that at Jerry Belmontes.
01:44It sort of puts beer at a level, really.
01:4812 in a row since then, though.
01:51He's coming here with ambition.
01:52Yeah, but he's got to come behind the punches here.
01:54He walks up close to the target there and Kelly just leaning back, throwing a little check left hook.
02:03Got to watch the eyes of Kelly as well, because he'll faint with the eyes and he'll look low, punch high and vice versa.
02:11Oh, Kelly with a good jump that drops real.
02:15And already you can see the difference in class here.
02:18And beer knows that he might be in for a long night or even a short one.
02:24He's waved it off.
02:27Kelly had way too much.
02:33I'm not sure how much we learned about Josh Kelly, but we know he wanted to make a statement.
02:40And he has made it in emphatic fashion.
02:44A highlight reel moment from the pretty boy.
02:46He's fighting the guy who's already lost one fight in 25, but we don't really know how good that guy is.
02:52But what he did is what you're meant to do.
02:54When you're much better than your opponent on paper, you get rid of him in impressive fashion.
02:58You have no trouble at all.
03:00He came out aggressive, confident.
03:02And the way, just like I said, he sells with his eyes.
03:05But what he did there, he fainted with the jab.
03:07And the speed of that left hook was just fantastic.
03:11The speed of the shot did all the damage there.
03:14And beer didn't know where he was.
03:15I mean, that's a good performance.
03:17We had to know how good that performance was because we didn't get to see anything of the other guy.
03:22But he did what you're meant to do when you're on the top of the court.
03:25When you're number one, you get it done easily, impressively, and that's what he did.
03:35Big smile on his face.
03:39Here it is again, Barry.
03:42Look at that.
03:44There's a little faint with the jab.
03:45And the left hook was so fast, it hit him on the tempo, I think.
03:48And he wasn't sure where it was.
03:49Look, faint with the jab.
03:51Oh, it's right on the butt and actually, right on the chin.
03:54But it's just a little shimmy of the shoulder.
03:57That's the faint.
03:57And he brings that right hand forward.
04:00You'll see it here now.
04:03Oh, it's just lovely.
04:04It's just such lovely.
04:05The real thing.
04:06And he has that speed.
04:07He can just see it.
04:08And he knows if he gets those fast twitch fibers into play, he's going to hit the target clean.
04:15Of course, he wants to move on to much bigger, to much better.
04:21But to make that statement, to do that, live with us on Terrestrial Television.
04:27Smart.
04:27Really smart.
04:29From Josh Kelly.
04:30And Adam Booth, applying the finishing touches to the outfit there.
04:35He is flash, but he's great to watch.
04:37And he is so talented.
04:39But Davey's the full-ass guy.
04:40He's a good-looking guy.
04:41You know, incredibly good-looking guy.
04:43He looks the path.
04:44He showed us the flash, so he can dance strong, make you miss, make you pay.
04:48Now he's showed us the different side of his game.
04:49Power, composure, and ability to get a fight a little early.
04:55Well, time to make it official.
04:57It didn't last long, but Josh Kelly, we knew how good he was.
05:02But he came in with intent.
05:04Steve Bunce called it beforehand.
05:06Came in heavy.
05:07Came in with intent.
05:08Came in to do damage.
05:09He has done just that.
05:11And Paul Booth can help us make it official.
05:17Boxing fans, the official end of this contest falls at 2 minutes, 3 seconds of round number one.
05:24Referee, Reece Carter, counts out Flavius Beer.
05:29The official decision is a TKO.
05:32So, your winner tonight from Tainan Weir, it's PBK, Josh Pretty Boy Kelly.
05:44Plenty of class from the Pretty Boy there.
05:47Of course, we'll hear from him.
05:49And so much more action to come.
05:51Don't go anywhere.
05:52Josh Kelly got it done and he got it.
