By Brad Jones: Photo Credits Joe Comporeale – Over 14 years ago a young brash British boxer Naseem Hamed crossed the pond to take on the best America had to offer Kevin Kelly. What a great fight it was while it lasted in what was the modern days featherweight version of Hagler vs. Hearns.
The fight was a seesaw of knock downs hammed down in the 1st both fighter down in the 2nd Hammed down in the 4th before rising of the canvas to hit Kevin with blistering flurry that knock Kevin Kelly out cold! Tomorrow night Amir Khan and Zab Judah meet in a unification bout of the World Boxing Association (WBA) and IBF straps Amir is no Hammed I am under no illusion but if this is half as good as Hammed vs Kelly we are in for a hell of a fight.
The reason I feel this is both guys chins Judah’s of late have been under question both have a lot of heart and will not back down and both come to win which always helps .Like Hammed Khan crosses the pond a young hungry lion who’s exiting. Zab Judah like Kevin comes to win has a great boxing pedigree and is in home soil with allot to prove if its anything like Kelly-Hamed we will be in for a treat.
