There is another photograph of that fight. After the fight was over, the two were standing in the ring and Kelly’s right hand was touching Taylor’s cheek area.

“That’s the compassionate side of Kelly,” Loew. “The war was over and he was making sure Taylor was OK.”

Rob Todor, sports editor of the Youngstown Vindicator, gives full-blast newspaper coverage of Kelly. There is a Kelly Trivia question every day.

“What did Kelly leave behind in Atlantic City?” was the question the other day.

Mike Pavlik read that and flinched.

“On Sunday, the day after the Taylor fight, Kelly and I were in a car driving back to Youngstown,” said Mike. “Then it hit me like a thunderbolt. I forgot our check. Left it by the coffee pot. I turned to Kelly and said ‘son, there is something I have to tell you…’ ”

Kelly laughed and said “don’t worry, Dad. You can work it out.”
