I think its a very close fight. Selby vey hit and miss. Has looked great but not recently. Would expect him to up his game v Frampton though.
Russel Jr v Frampton was one that was put as a UK win. Wouldnt be too sure on that. Russel Jr is class and only lost in a close fight with Loma. Id pick Russel Jr to beat Frampton. Id have prob been 6-6 or maybe 7-5 US in the potential fights listed here.
Re: US Boxing needs to up it's game to compete with the UK Boxing Boom
I've been saying this on my home board TTR for awhile now.... I think part of the reason is the "entitlement" mentality that many US boxers have today and are just following the FMJ playbook of "low risk/high reward" protocols.... While UK boxers are willing to settle things in the ring w/ their fists as to who's actually the best at their weight... They know money will come after you challenge yourself to the max... UK boxers like Carl Frampton comes to mind and guys like him should set the standard for boxers in future.... One of the other reasons I think UK boxing is leading the way is their fans that fill stadiums and create an electric atmosphere rooting for their guy with all their might and traveling the globe in order to make that happen....
