    It is easy to look skilled against bums. Let's see how Selby will look under pressure. Most likely, he will deflate like other overhyped Brits when they meet a quality opponent.

    Well...a few of his opponents were good enough to not quite refer to as bums. Binman (though getting a bit worn), Lindsay, Simion, Brunker... granted none world class but I wouldn't say bums either.

    All that said, yes, there's a massive gulf between Gradovich & the level Selby's fought at.

    This is a big step up for the Rican-stached Brit, not so much for the Mexican Russian.

    I expect a close fight. Selby gets the home nod.

    Most surprising thing about ellerbe the alts post is that he managed to get through it without dissing The Special One™

    Easy win for selby, Gradovich is average at best.

    I see Gradovich digging in and putting in grinding work to what should be a decisive victory while pulling ahead in the second half but will end up a draw (possible robbery loss alert in this one too).

    i have money on gradovich to win real money not vcash. My reasoning is because I think he will overwhelm selby and be to active for him. Selby hasnt been in with anyone yet. Gradovich has defended his belt 5 times i beleive and he was the underdog when he won the belt and was the underdog when he first defended it. Hes the unbeaten champion. Lee selby i beleive is overrated and will lose this fight. The odds are very good for gradovich.

    Gradovich can be outboxed. Velez and Dib were giving him some trouble with the jab.

    I'm pretty sure Jose Mourinho trademarked 'the special one' way before Kell even went into boxing
