    So, Selby would be easy work for Lomachenko?

    What about the 4 and a half reach advantage for Selby? Don't you think that would be a factor?

    Everyone has a longer reach than Lomachenko. And the fight would be whatever Lomachenko wanted it to be.

    Lomachenko fought in the 60kg and as high as the 64kg division in the amateurs, everyone he fought had longer reach and were excellent boxers.

    In other words, he knows how to negate a reach advantage.

    I watched one of his amateur fights yesterday, the 2008 Olympic final. He dominated this French guy, and stopped him in the first round. It was amazing.

    One of the few opponents Lomachenko was actually longer than. That guy (Djelkhir) is 16-0 (12KO) as a pro.

    Gradovich just won 9 rounds in his last fight and got a draw. He is probably in for an even worse handicap come Saturday.

    Interview with Selby

    Appraises the other featherweight world champions and says he would like to unify the belts but not for a couple of years as he wants to establish himself as the IBF champion first and make as many defences as he can.

    "In a few years" Lmfao. Prepare for the bum of the month club guys. It seems Welsh boxers love to do this kind of thing.

    He's better than I thought though, I'll give him credit for that.

    Problem is he's pretty big for the weight as it is and he might not even be able to still make it without seriously weakening himself in a couple of years time.
