    Selby is too slick for the crude brawler/puncher walters. Not to mention at 5'8 he's much bigger than 5'4 donaire and darch. I see him snapping walters head back all night with jabs and straight rights and not getting hit clearly at all. Selby is a slick fighter only getting slicker at the TMT gym.

    Yes that is correct Selby is bad news for a plodder such as Walters. Indeed

    I think he can win if he can handle Walter's power, because Selby seems hittable even if he is "slick". However, he does posses great feet so that alone would give Walters problems who is of the cruder kind IMO.

    I actually think on paper he is bad style for Walters too.

    But I've only seen Selby against one solid fighter and I think Walters is much more dangerous then that one fighter.

    Selby got a great chin too ! I've got close friends who's sparred with him and seen him take big shots from big men in the gym. He's solid

    Hopefully this theory will be put to the test.

    Don't care if he went 12 rounds sparring with Dorian darch. If the ax man connects selby gets ktfo.


    And gradovich was connecting....

    I'd say it's the other way around....


    Walters is all wrong for a pillow puncher like Selby...

    I think Lomachenko is a special guy, I think he could pose a serious problem to Walters,
    Selby I haven't seen anything yet to suggest that he would,
    Russell I think Walters would impose his will on him.

    Why because he beat up a washed up donaire ?

    Why has selby got a great chin? Because he went rounds with some mws going soft on him. See how that works.

    Donaire was still a good win, and the punch that did would put selbys lights out aswell. Jenkins welsh sheep boy.
