    Selby looks cool and unflappable at weigh in. Looks really good. WArrington looked well too. Warringtons fans = Leeds football fans....not doing him any favours. Let's hope warren pays for good security at the venue cos with that lot full of liquid courage there could be trouble.

    They really didn’t need those big hefty security lads around them for the stare down...my 11 year old daughter could have pulled them two apart. Selby looked awful, proper emaciated. I know he’s always done it, but to still be doing that at 31 must be incredibly difficult.

    It seems this is the game plan for Warrington. They want this to go late and out-work or even try to cause issues for Selby late as they think he is tight at the weight and will tire in the late rounds. Problem is if Selby can remain strong i cant see how Warrington can get inside to do any work.

    Difference as sangar said they went to the best gyms in the US and had top and VERY TOUGH quality sparring with ex champs, prospects, seasoned and undefeated fighters. They went to mayweather, top rank, gleesons, tacos, wildcard etc. Poor warrington has been sparring GB boxing hopefuls, amateurs and kids. I think that says it all in terms of how this fight will go.

    Warrington looks in the best shape of his career! Proper ripped! he looks really up for this.

    Selby hasn’t looked his best in the past few fights, he’s clearly better skilled than josh but...

    I’m picking Warrington, if he can keep the pressure up for 12 and not get caught with anything silly that is.

    I dunno 20, selby looked quite well to me. He's got away with boiling down for all his other fights....he probably will here too...unless this is the one where it catches up to him?

    He was coolness personified. If josh is counting on the occasion getting to Lee he could be sadly mistaken!

    Did well to make 'Warry' wait for the face off. Made him look like a right mug.

    I agree twenty. Reminds me of seeing Scott Harrison make featherweight back in the day, they look like their on deaths door to make it. It can't be good for Selby for sure, I think he would be a better Super Featherweight as would not be as tired later in fights.

    Kind of reminds me of the Groves vs Eubank fight this does.

    Lot of people banking on Warringtons work-rate, that will dip if he's getting caught a lot, it takes it out of you immensely.

    Selby should win with his abilities and skill set.

    I think Warrington will be the perfect opponent for him, as Lee should be able to counterpunch and be on the backfoot where he's at his best, it will be Warrington who will have to force the issue/s. That's normally not a good thing.

    In all seriousness, Selby wins and the Kaiser Chiefs prediction of a riot pre fight actually happens post fight
