    Ah sorry bud, I was convinced he would cause a shock :( I might have just been looking at Douglas’s work but I really felt that he was catching Selby a lot last night. He looked a mess at the end and I personally thought it was a very close fight. Douglas was being effective in his aggression

    Yh should definitely retire, what a frustrating career he's had. He just lacked the discipline to match his talent and still became world champion.

    Agree. I thought WTF. Mind you one judge had it 115 113 :bash:. Chunky looked a very old 33 in there.

    Sorry nothing, twas worth a punt . Much like soto. Selby has messed up he should have moved to super feather long a go.. And then ended up at lightweight.

    I agree. He threw some lovely shots but Douglas just walked through them. Maybe he’ll grow into the weight but time isn’t on his side and he ships too many shots now. He’s not as elusive as he once was.

    and if you read this thread properly you will see I also stuck a cheeky wee bet on Selby to lose.

    Hopkins would've been stretchered out under the same circumstances

    I think Degale with a different trainer would have extended his career and excelled, don't think Jim brought out or capitalised on DG ability, Jimmy Mac not the most strategic thinker
