    Douglas is going to look like a unit compared to him tomorrow. Selby’s a cracking boxer but he’s still boiling himself down massively. Had he been Philipino, Mexican or whatever, he’d have moved through several weight classes up to around 140 by now. Left it 10 years to move up and I still think he’s drained himself.

    Hope he smashes Douglas tomorrow and proves me wrong.

    I saw the weigh-in video and thought Selby looked 100x better on the scales than he did at feather

    In fairness, he looks a bit better in the vid than the pics. He looked green in the Warrington one.

    Selby has made a bad decision taking this fight, the losses to Fortuna and Cherry are both controversial, he clearly beat Cherry, and the Fortuna match was a draw, that a KD should have decided, I thought Douglas nicked it. Douglas is very good at cutting off the ring, and has a hell of a left hook, that he lands with frequency even on slick guys. Also Selby still bizarrely looks drained two divisions higher. Douglas wins by late stoppage IMO.

    Like Lee Selby but hope you’re right as I’ve lumped on Douglas stoppage.

    That was my thought process, too. He looked like a POW at featherweight. He looks a little better than he did with the extra 9ib so instead of looking like a POW he now just looks like Tom Hanks at the end of Philadelphia. He will still have put his body through a gruelling process to boil himself down to 135ib. I think he’s going down from a body shot.
