The X Factor: It’s no secret that Kelly will get himself into trouble on the feet if you can goad him into it. Delgado’s long reach is one advantage he can milk all night if he wants it. Keeping Kelly knee deep in exchanges is critical for Delgado, whose only hope lies in picking Kelly apart before trying to finish matters on the mat.
The Bottom Line: This just isn’t the fight for Delgado. He is outmatched in virtually every way. It won’t take long for that to show, as Kelly opens with a ground-and-pound offensive that will last however long it takes for either Delgado’s will to break or the referee’s compassion to kick in.
