[lefty]

Cracking finish by Selby when he finally out his foot on the gas. He does have some power afterall

He hit him quite a lot before he managed to actually finish it off though.

[lefty]

No doubt Hearn will be in hype mode overdrive in the post fight interview.

He is a boxing promoter. That's probably on the first couple of pages of their job description.

Is that so? Didnt know that.

[black panther]

Selbys outclasses this guy as predicted. Selby is mustard: really looking forward to see him step up in class. Just a shame that he waits so long to put his foot on the gas when he's clearly a class above. He's not been sternly tested yet but I feel he'll handle the step up well. IBF champion Gradivich is an improving fighter: that will be a good fight.

Can Eddie get Gradovich over to Wales ?

He could... but he won't.

[Baboon]

Can Eddie get Gradovich over to Wales ?

He could... but he won't.

Not even with a 'stacked' undercard and a PPV show?

[Cyclops]

I think he could have done that a few rounds earlier... Apart from the finish that really wasn't a good fight at all. Was he just getting rounds under his belt or what?

"In the gym I'm brilliant"

That's wonderful.

Could you be brilliant in your actual fights please?

[JC]

I like Price as a analyst.

[lefty]

Donaire, Walters, Gonzalez, Marez and Lomachenko must be the top 5 fighters in the division bar Selby i'd say. I really dont particularily rate Gradovich and think Selby would outbox him in a similar fashion.

Would be very disappointing if he couldn't.

Out of all world title fights for his fighters this should be the most realistic for home advantage.

Champ not a headliner last 3 in Macau and next on Crawford undercard

I like Price as a analyst.

I reckon they have got him there to build interest in the Joshua fight.

[lefty]

Ps, anyone hear the rumour that Price knocked Joshua out in sparring some months back? Sounds like total bollocks but I heard it mentioned quite a few places.

[ThereByTheGrace]

Selby is a great boxer to watch, none of this face first warrior shite, just hit and don't be hit back. It's the art of boxing.

Agree.

[crusader]

Something can be art and not great to watch. I appreciate his skills but I don't enjoy those types of fights.

Why would that sound like bollocks?

[jameswilson]

Christ alive did I just see the Pistorius sentencing advertised like it was a new series of 24?

[JC]

Something can be art and not great to watch.

True dat.

But I think he could be fun to watch if he's in there with a decent challenge.

Sounds logical to me. With those two it's who lands first isn't it?

Not that I pay attention to any of these rumours anyway.

[ThereByTheGrace]

I see your point.

What is not art is Joshua beating up midgets. Make a Super HW division and stop this bullshit now!

[lefty]

Just because i'd imagine if anyone got knocked out it would be Price in truth. Of course Price achieving that isnt that far fetched though. I just think it's one of those made up tales.

[Cyclops]

Ever bumped into this ref, Lefty? From your neck of the woods...

[lefty]

Joshua is built like an absolute tank. I wonder if he's one of those lucky bastards that doesnt have to try that hard to be in incredible shape like he is.

[lefty]

Ever bumped into this ref, Lefty? From your neck of the woods...

Na, not seen him about bizarrely.

[Baboon]

Joshua beating up midgets. !

....Starts internet rumour of actual midget beating...

Wouldn't surprise me almost any heavyweight getting KO'd by Price, even in sparring.
