    ibf champ gradovich is defending his title on undercard of Crawford vs Beltran in late November.

    I aint seen much of him, off memory he was on a Pac undercard and I wasn't that impressed. but wasn't watching that closely.

    V impressed last night. Punch perfect

    Jim watt is a regard kept bannging on about power or lack off

    He's not a concussive puncher obviously by still got a tough undefeated guy out in 1/2 gear. Looked many levels above his opponent

    Good performance last night - first time I've really been impressed with Selby in a while.
    I agree with what Jim was saying in commentary when he tries to turn it on rather then just Coast he really does look a very good talent.

    Hopefully Hearn can get him the shot at the title next if not and I know it won't happen as it doesnt really make sense but would like to see a Stephen Smith rematch

    Selby got a good skill set but one thing is missing his punching power that tippy tappy wont work against the best also he needs to dig his punches in..

    Selby is nothing special. Of the top contenders, he might be able to beat the RUSSIAN Mexican but that's about it.

    Lomachenko dominates this kid.

    Warrington couldn't smash an egg. IMO Selby is on another level to Warrington.

    Someone's on the sky hype train.

    If he wasn't a ticket seller he wouldn't be on tv

    lee Selby is massive for a FW even bigger than Scott Harrison, he would be too clever and hit to hard for josh right now and that's no shame on Josh its just he's not experienced enough for Lee at present
    John Simpson would be a good fight for Josh experienced tough man would at FW given proper notice would give most a right hard nights work
