    Selby is a fantastic boxer what are you talking about. Hard to hit. Long arms can ping you from anywhere. Beats framton for me in a close fight. Selby and Santa Cruz could be a great fight for purists

    I had a 70 pound Acca that included Pac to beat horn. But I just paid 70 pound to see pac lose to an absolute no one. Money well spent

    It's not just long arms. Guy has excellent feet and when he does get hit he holds the shot well. Maybe not a great puncher but it doesn't matter. Skills pay the bills and selby had it all. Most underrated British fighter imo

    I would pay to see SOB lose, but SOB will never fight without his personal referee, judges and boxing commission,that's just a face, but I would pay to see SOB fight Kovalev in neutral territory, with neutral judges and referee, but that will never happen. Imagine that fight happening in Moscow, with Russian judges and referee? SOB said neutral judges would be unfair, he is a crook through and through.................I would also pay to see Wilder fight a legit fighter................

    I paid for the Hay v Bellew fight to see Haye lose.
    I know alot of the talk on both sides was to sell the fight and Bellew since the fight has been insufferable at times, but some of Hayes talk, whilst it built interest and built PPV buys, was distasteful for me.
    Saying youll do a number on someone is all good with me, syaing youll stop them is all good with me and you will KO them, fine. But saying that you will put him in hospital, unconscoious, leaving on a stretcher and that he seriously wants to hurt and properly damage someone is horrendous, not what boxing is about imo. Bellews kids and wife had to listen to that and read about it, its awful as far as im concerned.

    So i paid to see Haye lose, and although i got what i paid for, by the end of it i wanted Haye to make it to the final bell. He showed way more heart than i thought he had in that fight, his injury was genuine and obvious, anyone who says otherwise either didnt watch the fight or is pushing an agenda. To stay on his feet said alot about him, and although at no point i wanted him to win, i wanted him to at least see the end of the 12th.
