But the boxer can’t bet on his match. Are football coaches banned from betting too?
Yep, players, managers and 'club staff' (I assume this just covers coaches & directors rather than stewards etc) are banned from betting on any football matter worldwide.
Mikel Arteta would receive a ban if he bet on a 4th division match in Peru but a boxing trainer can bet on his own fighter. Forget the possibility of the trainer betting on his fighter winning in a certain round and the potential for underhand tactics there, the trainer could bet on his fighter losing in a certain round and could throw the towel in to win himself a bet.
Personally I've never liked Kelly and I thought he would lose but he lost in a worse manner than I thought he would.
David walked him down and other than that one stumble in round 2 (or 3) he never looked like he was in trouble.
Kelly is all flash no substance. He tries to fight like Prince Naseem, with his hands down, but unlike Kelly, Naseem could bang and put people to sleep.
He then tries to emulate the real Pretty Boy, Floyd (and Whittaker), with the Philly Shell and all the punches get through.
I know it's a style of Adam Booth fighters - Haye and Groves fought the same - but Kelly focussed too much on trying to look impressive rather than actually being effective.
long way back for Kelly. I think even Connor Benn beats him at this point in time

and you think that’s young in boxing terms ? Also Kelly simply isn’t good enough as I said before he got banged out.

Bruno vs Tyson documentary's on Sky tonight from 9pm.
Edit: It's mainly a documentary about Bruno trying to win a world title, very little about their two fights. Bit disappointing tbh.

Saunders will get his arse handed to him in that fight, doesn't have the power to stop Canelo and doesn't have the skills to beat him over 12 rounds.
and very happy I'll be to see it
he makes Khan look like Frank Bruno in the popularity stakes with British fight fans.

I don't see Canelo having any problems at all with BJS. Funnily enough I think Khan gave Canelo the most problems of any UK fighter... Until Khan forgot that he was Khan and decided to trade with him.

Just read Marvin Hagler has passed away at 66, one of the greats 
Very sad news. Only lost to Sugar Ray (which was debatable) out of the 4 kings and one of the longest champion reigns in the sport.

I can't wait for this, could go either way.
Yeah, it's a real 50:50 fight. I'm leaning towards AJ getting the stoppage but I wouldn't be surprised to see Fury take it either.
Wouldn't be shocked if it ends up 1-1 after both the fights.

How likely is this gonna be in front of fans?
Would kill for some tickets if in the UK but I guess will be impossible to buy.
