I sympathise with Lee selby...

I think what works in Carl’s favour is that when he gasses in the later rounds selby hasn’t got the power to flatten him

 

I simply nearly fell asleep when the Selby fight was on and just cannot take to his boring boxing at all.

He really is an atmosphere killer before main events.

 

Selby wouldn't need to as he would have a points lead coming into the later stage of any fight between the two. Carl doesn't throw enough to lead Selby on ooints at such a stage imo. Take Len, he's a massive fan of Carl's on this forum but he's always been honest to say what i also feel and that is Lee is all technically wrong for Carl.

 

Lee Selby reminds me of Joe Calzaghe, brilliant boxer, hand speed and boxing brain are immense but he lacks power. He needs to simply beat Frampton/Quigg and Warrington and have a defining fight. He makes his fights look very easy which is why we switch off, it always seems comfortable, if he's under pressure he's composed, he does enough to win rounds - but never dominates them. He does what he needs to win without ever looking stupendous. Very underrated fighter.

 

Cant see Andrew doing anything. Looks like a ko waiting to happen ! Lee is gifted alright

 

Andrew Selby may be powder puff but he is 100 times more exciting than Brother Lee

 

I think lack of volume would be Carl's biggest problem. 2nd biggest is fact Carl is at his best counter punching but for him to be fully successful he needs opponent to fall in when throwing shots, as we know Selby doesn't fall in keeps balance brilliantly and gets out of range very quickly. That's were the lack of height and reach Carl has goes badly against him as he would need Selby to stay in the pocket which he rarely does.
