Evgeny Gradovich 19-0-1 defends his IBF Featherweight title against Lee Selby 20-1 in England on May 30th.
Selby is a slick boxer but perhaps untested at world level while Gradovich can be a high energy attacking fighter.
Neither have a high stoppage rate in their careers so far, will Selby's boxing ability take him over the line or will he need to slug it out with Gradovich and demonstrate his power and will to win ?
Does Lee Selby have the power to keep Evgeny Gradovich off him ?

I see Gradovich is paying about 3 dollars for the win on the local betting agency's[TAB] you can triple your money
Selby similar style/power as our own Billy Dib expect the Mexican/Russian to walk Selby down and stop him in 11 round's.

One thing we know for sure is that Gradovich will be coming for him full speed ahead and trying to take his head off so Selby is going to have to sit down on his shots/load up and try to catch him coming in and use that aggression against him.
It's going to be hard for Selby because Grado comes fast, low and hard/full steam ahead with his guard in the proper position to protect his chin and temples.
