    Lee Selby is a 5'8.5 27 year old Featherweight with a 21-1 9 KO's record. Born and fighting out of Barry, Wales, United Kingdom. He is currently the British. Commonwealth and WBC International Featherweight Champion. He's currently yet another in the growing Empire of Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Sports. Lee has been called the Welsh Mayweather for a good reason he's very adept and slipping, and rolling with punches and is a very accurate counter puncher, but unlike Mayweather he's a lot more scrappy and likes to mix it up far more than Floyd. He's good at throwing combinations in close and slipping his way through the barrage his opponent throw at him while he's in the pocket. Although he has a long way to go to be as good as Pretty Boy Floyd and in this scary division I'm not sure how far he'll go but he may get just shy of the top although Lomachenko and Walters are a tough ask of anyone to beat. So Check Out The Featherweight Barry Llofrudd Bachgen of Wales.:bbb:bbb:bbb:bbb

    This guy is going to the top and for whoever said he has no power? You clearly haven't seen much of him, he doesn't possess big power punches but he has hurt every fighter he has been in the ring with but Selby has it all and 2015 will be a huge year for him

    Another one of those "slick" British fighters with no power, will get found out sooner or later.

    I rate Selby. He has lots of natural ability and I think he can go onto to make a lot of noise at FW.

    Ask Stephen Smith if Selby can punch.

    His power seems just fine.

    Most of his fights that went the distance were 4/6 rounders early in his career.

    Hes been stopping plenty of decent fighters of the past year or two

    Thanks, need to watch more of him seeing as he lives about 10 miles away and the 126 division is getting hot!

    Yes, very interesting fight, Selby could outclass him but I tend to think Gradovich work rate could be the key. Selby can't cruise mid fight like he sometimes does.
