Interesting I put a tenner on Warrington in the week and he was out at 4/1. Seemed generous.

Selby being tight at the weight and to me seems like he could be outworked. Neither bang so it’s a 12 rounder and it might come down to fitness and grit over skill.

I'm surprised so many picking Warrington. I see Selby being far too slick. Warringtons best shot is outworking him

Yeh I agree

Warrington hasn’t got a hope In my opinion . He’s gonna be countered all night can’t see him going the distance to be honest

Could turn out that way. There will have to be a marked difference in quality between the two though otherwise it’s gonna be nip and tuck.

Selby works at his own pace.

Warrington looks strong and fit.

Neither can punch.

This has defo made me more excited for what could be quite dull fight if it goes Selby’s way.

Everyone seems dead set that Warrington lacks the skill level but I don’t think we know his level until after this fight. Work rate and home crowd might be enough for Warrington if Selby takes a while to get going.

The people who predict a Warrington win, like Pat Barrett here, due to 'relentles pressure' are forgetting that Selby is more skillful, accurate and also pretty powerful - when Warrington is trying to apply relentless pressure, he is going to be getting hit. A lot. He looks like the type to cut and mark up easily too. Pressure and will isn't enough when you're up against a far more skilled opponent. So many idiots predicted Eubank Jr would dominate Groves by using constant pressure - same story. When they are coming forward, they are being hit. Hard.

Although none of the two are big punchers, I've got a feeling Selby may score a late stoppage.

I get that but these are little men. Groves is a hard puncher.
Hard jab.

I’m banking on Selby being a bit tight at the weight to make it a good fight
