    I don't really bet these days but I'm going to wait until after the weigh-in. Selby always comes in emaciated and Warrington will "look better" on the scales so I think Selby will be 1/3 on most mainstream bookies come fight night.

    That for me is the biggest steal of the year so far. Warrington himself is banking on Lee to fold under the crowd pressure - laughable. Selby is ice cold. There is no way he loses this unless he suffers a Haye type injury mid fight.

    Printing money.

    @CutThroatFade ive been thinking about betting on this fight. Was going to go for Selby by decision at 8/13..you think i should go for it? Or just go for the Selby win at 1/4 ?

    I think there is a serious chance of a stoppage by the corner or ref if the fight goes the way I see it in my head.

    I agree that Selby is the pic for this fight however I don' think 2/7 is a good price nor do I think odds on for points is a good price. I like 7/2 for the stoppage. I think he could stop him. There is a lot of needle and Warrington will walk on to stuff. Selby when is in a fight can produce the goods and start banging a bit harder. But 1/4 can't be bet on when Warrington is good enough if Selby breaks a hand or something and I wouldn' risk a grand to win 250 pound unless I knew the guy could win even with injuries. For me just enjoy fight it' going to be good. My tip would be a smaller bet on Selby stoppage 7/2

    Well im hoping Warrington wants a tear up with him because then i could see Selby landing on that chin..will have a little flutter on Selby by stoppage.

    How do you see the fight going bruv?

    Last time I bet on a 1/4 it was Abraham to beat Paul Smith in their first fight. Was definitely a scary moment waiting for the judges’ decision at the end because I put big money on it.

    I think if Selby goes as high as 1/3 it’s a very good bet that warrants a serious stake.

    I think they are levels apart and I think Selby’s range is going to be too much for Warrington to get in. I think it will be Shades of Calzaghe-Lacy with Selby really putting a beating on Warrington and busting his face. I really hope Lee fights with bad intentions and doesn’t try to just build a lead and then cruise.

    Will either be Shades of Calzaghe-Lacy or Shades of Thurman-Garcia and I’m leaning towards the former.

    Warrington will be far too angry and over eager burning needless energy. He will make silly mistakes and slowly get broken to pieces whilst swinging and missing by miles Then he'll walk onto a crisp Selby straight shot Night night

    I don' expect it to go to 1/3 to be honest I 5hink there will be lots of what I call clever money on Selby like your saying big stakes buying money. I expect it to be 2/7 at best. I honestly think you should think about lower stake on the stoppage. I think Warrington will have to gamble at some point and walk on to shots way to much. 7/2 is quite good price. That' what I'm going on

    Warrington p4p doesn5 have the force or punch power of Figueroa and Selby is better and bigger at this weight than that version of burns
