I think Gradovich wins this one, well I hope at least Not that it means anything, but it seems like a lot of British boxers struggle with Russian or EE boxers. Just the other week some highly rated prospect nicknamed bomber was brutally knocked out by some old shot Belorussian guy
:dealSomewhat, Evgeny will try his hardest at least, but to no avail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOXaPE6gklI The dude in this video is a massive douche.:yikes
First half Selby, second half Gradovich. It's going to be a close fight. Really interesting clash of styles and I think Gradovich will get robbed again.
I'll be the first to admit Gradovich is very average for a titlist (although I like the kid) while I've always thought Selby was a bit more special than just domestic/Commonwealth level where he's spent his entire career - but the fact is that Gradovich has mixed with much higher company. His last five opponents trump Selby's only non-domestic foes of any note (unbeaten Viorel Simion of Romania, and unbeaten yet unspectacular Joel Brunker of Australia)
Selby is more skilled and more versatile, yes, but nobody has ever forced him to hustle for a full 12 like Gradovich will.
