Lee Selby-Fernando Montiel in Play For October in U.S. - Boxing News
Montiel was a great Bantamweight fighter, but I can't see him having anything that will trouble Selby at Featherweight. I'm sure the money has brought Selby to PBC, but I thought he wanted his homecoming fight in Wales and wanted to shut up Warrington in Leeds? I can see him leaving Eddie permanently soon and relocating. I hope he doesn't abandon the team that got him where he is.
Depends whether he carries his power up and what he has left in the tank. I think this is a good fight and one never knows how these guys travel. There is always a chance for that deer in the headlights effect.Quote:

Selby will look massive next to Montiel.
For all the talk from Selby about Loma and unifying titles etc., and then this? Utter crap. Let's be honest.
Probably be a bad result for Selby if he doesn't win by stoppage. Not only is he much younger/fresher, he has a big height, reach and natural size advantage. However, the veteran has only been chinned once in 60 fights - by Donaire's lethal left hook.
Selby punches harder than his record suggests but is certainly not Naz. If the old boy has any ambition left he might make a fight of it. Doubt it.
Selby KO - 8/13
Selby PTS - 7/4
We have ESPN on BT sports? Or is it really on sky?
It's on BBC 3.
How can they weigh the same? Madness.

Haha, that's about what I imagined the size disparity would look like here;D
"It's on BBC 3."
When? What time? I've been out of the country, but I can't see it on the listings.
I believe Fenster is pulling Masters leg. It's on Sky Sports HD mate at stupid 'o ' clock because it's in Murrica, so I am taping it. Well not taping it, because my Betamax and VHS recorders don't work anymore, but you know SKY recording it.Quote:

Are you sure it's on SKY? The thread title is a little ambiguous.
WED must mean wedding, SKY is a place where clouds and supernatural beings used to live and ESPN is an alternative punk band from the early 90s.
I said BT sports have ESPN on their channels so hoped they may have had the fight. I know it was a long shot but I had to ask and now I wish I did not. :mad:Quote:

Anybody know ring walk time? I set my alarm for this on.
From what I've seen of Selby he gets hit a bit. Montiel needs a ladder. This could explode fast
Montiel needs to get inside and go for the knock out
Montiel took the first
Selby closed strong, piston punching. He felt the left hook off the temple near bell though.
Selby being snuck by Montiel between the lunging right...strong second Montiel. 1-1 even up
2-0 Selby.
Montiel hurt off right, bluffing thru here. Selby needs to tighten up. So open for lefts hooks bending in. 2-1 Selby
2 rounds each
Selby a bit sloppy 4th. Montiel getting his attention again end of 4th. In between sharp but doing half the work for Montiel when it comes to closing distance. Montiel has the legs of a hobbit..don't help him. 3-2 Selby
4 zip Selby, 4th was a close one. More of the same in the 5th, Selby is in control. Hope Selby does not fad!
Selby can be timed in... and that right hand stance is too low
Selby smacked around the ring 6th..his eyes are messed up. Finishes with right, but clear Montiel 3-3
I've got it 3-3 but with the momentum with Montiel.
I've also got to be up for work at 6am so this could do with being over soon.
Selby will most likely land a BIG straight or a liver shot and turn the momentum around
Every time Selby gets the right going he gets tagged with these chipping left hook, just reinserted his own mouthpiece there! Montiel better not get He-man stupid 4-3 Montiel
Montiel doing nothing early 8th
4 rounds each
6-2 Selby.
Good rebound round for Selby very sharp 4-4. Much better scrap than I thought prior
5-4 Selby..dude. Montiel literally just billy goated him with hands apart. Almost looked intentional???
Been good this although Selby should win now.
Gave 10 to Montiel though
