    Hairline is almost non existent. Receding hairline often a sign that a boxer is past prime.

    Warrington looks like a Space Raider crisp. He’s going to get a Lacy style beating on Saturday.

    He looks like he’s been battered in sparring.

    I'm gonna be bumping a lot of quotes at the weekend. Warrington can win this.

    Selby is the weakest champ at feather and Warrington is a top 10 fighter, it's gonna be close at least

    As much as I dislike Tosh Borington, Selby has been on the slide for a few fights and likes to take time off during rounds, something that Tosh will not afford him. And without the power to dissuade Borington from coming forward, I can see a close points win for the Yorkshire pud. And those rabid Leeds fans will turn the atmosphere toxic enough to influence those judges, potentially.

    Hope. I'm. Wrong.

    Got to say its possibly the most one sided fight I've seen in a while in terms of predictions and in terms of anyone even wanting the lesser fighter to win, perhaps says a lot about Warrington.

    I don't mean most one sided in terms of how the fight will actually go, I just mean in terms of predictions I've seen. I think Double Jab^ might be the first person I've seen actually say they think Warrington will win

    @11/4 it might be worth throwing a punt on War ington. I thought about the possibility of him outworking Selby.

    Selby has the skills to clown him but his engine and home support makes him a live dog imo.

    Warrington will win this, and he may not even need hometown cooking to get the job done. Josh is far more awkward than people seem to think he is, and underrate him due to his lack of pop, but let's be honest, its not like Lee Selby is David Lemieux either. Selby tends to have one gear, fighting off the backfoot, although he's great at it, and to this point that's the only wrinkle in his game he's needed, taking on the come forward plodders he usually feasts on. But Warrington is the far more versatile of the two, and can change up his mode of attack from match to match, sometimes he's the aggressor, he comes in at weird angles while bringing the pressure to land his combination, and gets out unscathed, sometimes he plays the counter puncher and while doing that can vary up his mode of attack, per opponent. His high guard defense is tight, he's far more slippery than people think he is, he's hard to hit clean, he tends to dart in and out of range setting an off kilter rhythm that's not easy to get the timing of for people hoping to land their counter, if he had power he'd be a nightmare opponent for most guys.

    He on occasion, also uses a lot of feints and head movement to bait guys in so he can land his counter, almost like a terribly poor man's version of Martinez and RJJ, an no I'm not comparing him to those two, ever, but in that one area, I see dull flashes of them.

    That was somewhat of stream of consciousness ramble,:lol: but... whatever. My point is, Lee is in for a long night in Leeds.
