    I thought he did to be honest. I was surprised to find myself in the minority and just thought I’d had an off night with my scoring.

    I was flicking between Dazn with Halling and Andy Lee and Sky. Sky had Selby losing handily and Dazn were adamant Selby had won almost every round. Was quite surreal and just shows how subjective it is.

    I personally had Selby losing a close fight unfortunately.

    Yeah, it was probably a great example of a fight where it can be scored completely differently depending on your preference in what you see as controlling/pushing a fight.

    Was very close I think you can make an argument for either fighter, depending on what you like.

    Kambosos fairly easily for me, 8-4 7-5 type but no further

    I should watch it again but it’s bordering on self harming if I do. I wasn’t enjoying what Selby was doing, but I felt that Kambosos was dancing to his tune and was struggling to cut the ring off with only the occasional success. I backed Kambosos to win beforehand.

    Its one of those fights where it could be hard to score depending on what your seeing. Me personally saw Selby having to be switched on for every second of every round and didn't look to comfortable in there . Kambodos for all his crudeness was calm and was doing what he wanted for most of the part . Selby looked like a shot fighter who was doing everything he could to survive and use his experience to try and Nick the rounds.

    I gave it to selby pretty comfortably. Kambosos landed the harder shots but not often enough. Selby didn’t look comfortable but he won for me. Dull fight.
