Andrew Selby vs. Julio César Martínez Aguilar RBR

Hardly mismanaged, he never did himself any favours. He was shitting the place out on free TV in the UK (one of the few fighters who had free TV at the time), then goes off the rails. Sanigar's aren't responsible for:

• The death of his mother and aunt
• His split with his partner and no longer sees his daughter
• His fracas with a taxi driver that went to Magistrates Court and saw him given a fine and community order
• Or being forced to attended court-ordered counselling (which caused the inactivity)

 

Mismanaged as in, he should not be going to Mexico after having a long layoff. They are responsible for getting him a good promotional deal even if that's far down on an undercard, he's one of the most talented fighters we have. Yes he's had big problems out of the ring but his team should have been guiding him. Just annoyed as it's wasted talent.

 

They are responsible for getting him the biggest opportunities. This is a world title eliminator to get a shot at the WBC title held by a fellow Brit. If he wins, as almost everyone expected, he gets a shot at Edwards. His lay off, technically was just a few months (having fought in October). He could have wasted another year on under-cards, turned 31.

The Flyweight division is a tough division (not one of the truly best but still tough). The WBC title was the most straight forward to go for, with the eventual shot coming in the UK. Tanaka and Dalakian are well backed, Mthalane has a mandatory and will begin to look for money bouts next (something Selby isn't). This was pretty much the most logical choice they could have taken, and through 3 rounds it looked the right choice.

 

It's the first time apart from Rosales that Selby has fought someone around Top 10 in the World and he failed the fighters he has been fighting were average really....got exposed today back to the drawing board.!!!!

 

That's a shame, I was high on Andrew Selby a few years back.. Talented kid. But something always been a miss about both he & his brother, talented but neither really seemed to be arsed about boxing! I mean Andrew once even said he hates the sport.. Doesn't like it, doesn't like training etc they never showed huge amounts of ambition either.. Didn't fight regularly enough. He ho, it is what it is..

Bit of a waste both.
