    I am aware he said that or similar to that at least. At the end of the day not many fighters, if any, go from winning their first world title straight into a unification so he is doing nothing different to anyone in history really.

    Ye mate i do.. we as boxing fans can be fickle and only remember a boxers last performance. We saw selbz with some at best mediocre performances and at worst you could say he struggled in the fights with simion and walsh.
    Hes better than 99% of feathers out there but not lomo

    On what basis do people think he'd be stopped?

    Agreed, and I am a Selby fan.
    Btw, has this fight been discussed or something?

    I dont think selby deals with pressure very good. As i stated earlier selbz is a bully and what i mean by that is as long as its going his way hes fine but a rd or 2 of having it put on him and he wont handle it well hell wilt. And lomo is more than capable of doing that to him. Some fighters will still be in there getting the **** kicked out of them and theyll keep trying until theyre knocked out cold. These guys have the gamedog mentality and some will quit. I believe selbz will wilt. And that for me is why lomo will stop him although i think itll be in the late rds with selbz havin some of the early rds

    I think Selby is pretty good but I think he'd be anhilated by Loma and that's no disrespect to Selby just a reflection of how highly I rate Loma.
