Selby's first ten or so fights were 4/6 rounders, mainly against British journeymen who earn a living by surviving. It's hardly surprising he wasn't scoring KO's. Peter Buckley took Naz the full 6 rounds too.

Since he ironed out Stephen Smith he has 7 stoppages from 11 fights. He is cleary not a powderpuff puncher.

As for the fight with Russell - I was well impressed with Russell last time. Amazing speed. Selby has a significant height and reach advantage though which - combined with his obvious skill - should allow him to offset that. Good fight.
