Josh Warrington

Wen our kid boxed josh he said josh wasn't a hard hitter but u knew u had been caught. He said the volume of punches take the tole if u ay in great shape he also said he hit as hard in the 10th as the first round.

Also think people get carried away with Selby power since the Smith ko but his not the big puncher his made out to b by some.

 

See that's where I think the opposite, I think people underrate Selbys power because of his low KO rate, when in fact he just usually boxes to plan and doesn't force the issue. Which admittedly has produced a fair few stinkers in the last few years

 

Apart from all-out workmate, Selby does everything that bit better and crisper than Warrington. Neither are particularly big one-shot hitters, but for me, Selby also hits harder than Warrington.

 

With Warrington, more often than not his stoppages come due to an accumulation of shots landed. Bearing that in mind, and factoring in Selby's defensive slickness and superb control of distance and tempo, can you really see Warrington stopping Selby or taking a decision from him?

 

Will Warrington actually take the fight this time?

 

The Martin Lindsay fight is one which springs to mind: great performance, but a reasonably dull fight for reasons which you've stated.

Had he wanted to put his foot down and really forced the issue, Selby could've stopped Lindsay in the 8th or 9th round. As it was, he outclassed and befuddled Lindsay while cruising through the rounds in second gear, to the point whereby he looked thoroughly bored during the final third.

 

We may need to help Warrington find his pen!

 

I don't think Selby has to be in top gear to beat Warrington, I think there is a bit of a gulf between the two.

I think Selby beats Frampton too. Selby vs GRJ is the bout of the division I feel, but doubt we would ever see it.

 

I have you have the blinkers on

 

Agreed. He's levels above Warrington. Warrington has ducked him for years.

 

I think Selby power has took a big nosedive with his struggles to make weight, I think if Selby lives up to SFW he would suddenly start hitting quite a bit harder. What he must put his body through to make 9st must be torture. Nevertheless would strongly fancy him to beat Warrington.

 

Yeah u cud b right 're the weight. Spoke to a fighter ages ago wen he was sparring down their he cudnt believe how big Selby was and how he made the weight. B interesting to see who his voluntary is against and where in december
