Lee Selby every day of the week. I suspect that will be the answer by pretty much everyone. Warrington is good, but I think he gets beat by Selby, Frampton, Quigg, Santa Cruz... Warrington I feel is the weakest link. Although he hasn't proven himself yet. And to a degree, neither has Selby. The fight goes to a decision for sure. Josh Warrington has a good chin, he's a tough kid. So for me, Selby on wide points decision. Warrington will nick a round or two on purely just workrate and managing to get a few shots off. Selby 9-3 on the scorecards in my opinion. If it's at Elland Road though, Selby wins on scorecards by 7 rounds to 5 cause bias and the atmosphere of fans hypnotizing the judges. Could be a potential Saunders vs Lemieux type hammering if Selby is as good as they say.
It'll almost definitely be in Elland Road. The weight is the only thing that loses Selby this fight. Warrington will be on him for 12 rounds, giving him zero breaks. If Selby does the weight ok and doesn't fade late in the fight he wins 8-4/9-3 imo. He's clearly the more skilled fighter.
Selby comfortable UD. Date suggests Elland Road. Summer time after the season finished? Fight of the year? Lee Selby will never be involved in fight of the year. He’s great at what he does but he’s boring as **** to watch.
Selby ud but would like Warrington to win as seems deceny guy don' think can go much further where as selby could if was defeated
Great fight! Selby awhile back got massively overhyped as the next mayweather I believe Warrington is below frampton and quigg but not by much. He came in with the right game plan against ceylan. I think Selby will win on points in a close fight but if Warrington gets home advantage with the crowd behind him I wouldn’t write him off
Going against the grain. Fancy Warrington to Nick close points decision. Just think Warrington will out work and hussle a decison. Home advantage lots of noise cud go in his favour. Like said b4 the weight making cud b a big factor down the championship rounds and I expect a very fast pace from Warrington
Can’t belirve there’s actually people who think Warrington will win. There’s levels as someone said above and there is genuinely an absolute gulf in class. Saying that people think Parker has a chance against Joshua so maybe the world has just gone mad.
Selby is a level above in skill, however, he looks to be struggling at the weight. Warrington is quite comfortable and strong at the weight. Stylistically, it will be Warrington on the front foot trying to force a high tempo and he’ll have a buoyant crowd behind him, cheering every shot even if it catches gloves and arms. The more skilful fighter should win but I think it could be a bit more balanced out...probably a bit like Horn and Pacquiao.
Fight of the year - could be an even bigger stinker than Frampton v Quigg. Just find both feather fisted punchers boring and Selby's brother has provided more entertainment in one fight than both of these fighters in their entire careers to date. All is needed is Jamie McDonnell and Bradley Skeete on the undercard to really round off this card. (Yes I know the former is Eh Day's fighter)
