Lee Selby vs. Gary Russell Jr.

[Fenster]

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.

I like Selby's style a lot, not sure how he'd do against the divisions best though. The limbo tactics could allow someone better than GRadovich to really time him, definitely want to see him take on a top guy though.

I can see what Al is saying about punch power, but he has good boxing ability and good movement
he may not be best of the bunch but he's a pretty good fighter.

I'm not saying Selby isn't exciting , he is at the top now so make the matches and lets wait and see.

[Lineal]

I'd give Selby a good shot at beating Russell. A very even contest.

[Dean Duke]

Selby will beat Russell Jr no problem.
