    Smith was given a good hiding and then sent to the canvas for several minutes last time. I reckon Selby would do him even quicker next time. I don't think Smith will ever forget the pasting he received that night. Selby was on fire and has proved that it was no fluke.

    It's all about styles and I think that Stephen Smith is made for Lee Selby. Stephen would like to box but because of Lee's size and style Stephen needs to come forward and that isn't how he likes to box!! Stephen Smith should just stay away from him and look to other fights.

    Indeed. They didn't think Selby could fight on the inside as well but he lit up Smith like a Christmas tree on the inside and was blasting him to pieces on the outside. Smith was completely outclassed, one of the more one-sided hidings we've seen in a British ring. Selby is a very good fighter.
