    Frank Warren has put a recipe for disaster on the cards:

    - 20,000 angry Leeds hooligans packing a stadium
    - They wont KSAB
    - Will be expecting a Warrington KO
    - When Lee Selby boxes him to a boring UD there will be SERIOUS unrest

    At best none of those "fans" will ever attend a boxing event again. Josh will be ruined, the crowd will turn on him. Will have to leave Leeds forever for his own safety.

    I think Warrington's workrate will make sure the fight isn't boring. He seems right up for the challenge and fancies his chances. Selby has the better skill-set, no doubt, but I see it being a close fight. Warrington will put the pressure on him every round. If Selby's at his best he wins, but when was the last time he was at his best? I think Warrington is a very live underdog.

    If selby wins the fans would probably be start scrapping with each other like it’s leeds vs millwall. (Football reference)

    people were making selby out to be the next mayweather at one point, he's very beatable and has looked pants in his last couple of fights. warrington on the other hand seems to be coming into good form and that's why I like this fight. its a good clash of styles, warrington with his non stop pressure for 12 rounds against a flashy unorthodox fighter.

    it should be a good fight, I think it will go the distance and Selby will kepp his title possible by sd

    Agree it will be a snooze fest in the ring - both bore me to tears.

    Both smaller versions of Hughie 'The Running Skirt' Fury

    Warrington won’t be able to lay a glove on him.

    Selby absolutely cruises to a UD. The fans are going to be bored and are going to turn on both fighters. Can imagine loads of booing and that by the time it’s 8th round and it’s 80-72 on the scorecards and absolutely nothing is happening.

    Frank thinking he can unsettle Selby by making him go to Leeds and boxing in front of 20k. Lol. Selby is the iceman and proven road warrior. Given Frank's track record with security at events very probable to see some crowd trouble. Hopefully for all attending it will be Elland road security and not the cheapest local firm Frank could find.

    Selby not the most exciting fighter to watch and your prediction is spot on.

    The Leeds fans are going to be seriously peeved off with this fight very quickly

    Best of luck. Have a great night! Hope your seat isn't at a "flashpoint" between rival fans. I'd have a concern if (when) Lee wins, his fans just might goad the cheesed off Leeds crowd....with predictable results......
    Come back on here and let us know how you got on, OK?

    Can't imagine loads of Welsh going up . For whatever reason Selby is not that popular in Wales
