    I really can't see Gradovich outboxing Selby.

    No way is this an easy fight for Selby.
    Gradovich is probably better then most people give him credit for.
    This fight is 50/50 If you're getting good odds on Gradovich it's well worth the risk.

    I think Gradovich will make this competitive

    Hes a very determined fighter

    Same as Provodnikov

    EVGENY stands a chance against anyone. The man just doesn't take no for an answer.

    But Lee will outclass him :verysad

    I'm not sure if you misunderstood me or if you are agreeing with me.

    But, you are correct, Gradovich will not outbox Selby.

    Selby by clear UD.

    My mother was born in Barry, you know. :yep

    Gradovich is known to handle adversity well. I am looking forward to this fight, and think (hope) Jenya will win it.

    Grados only defense is his offense. And NO power. Hard to pick against the MUCH better boxer in this one but on all honesty.... I wanted Loma to pop that cherry and unify.

    Only seen a couple of Selby's fights, whilst he looks very promising they were against a pretty poor level of opposition.

    I mean Brunker, though unbeaten, was far from world class. He was really struggling with domestic opposition down here.

    On paper very good fight IMO..Good clash of styles, two guys young enough to be at their peak but old enough to know a loss here could set them back big time.

    Gradovich won 9 rounds in his last fight and got a draw. I suppose he will need 10 or 11 rounds in this one to get another draw.

    Lee sometimes is too technical and likes to wait. He also throws wide shots, so if grado can outwork him i think he has a very good chance of winning in england... im picking him to win.,,

    Lee can be extremely boring and his work rate is non existent at times. EVGENY is one of my absolute favorites, probably my #1 favorite active fighter simply because of how fun he can be to watch and how much he's achieved given his limited natural abilities. But I can't see him getting the better of Lee. I think Lee will take him 9-3, maybe 8-4.

    I thought Grado beat Velez quite easily, and with lees inactivity at times, it will give Grado the type of oppurtunities he needs to beat Lee...

    He has to push Lee back and outwork him with alot of volume punching..imo

    I agree the Velez decision was an absolute farace.

    It's certainly not impossible for EVGENY to pull it off and the fight is nothing like the forgone conclusion that some are making it out to be. I was stunned the official poll was so heavily in Lee's favor. But I can't help but lean towards Lee. And I think he'll manage it quite comfortably.

    I think Selby will win rather easily.
