Andrew Selby vs Cristofer Rosales

[jamesmcdonnell]

He doesn't have power because he's constantly moving you can't get the power in your punches if you don't plant your feet

Even when he does plant his feet thetes no power.

[milpool]

118-109, 117-110 x 2 Selby

[Boxerbeetle]

Absurd scoring. Selby was poor tonight, won't go much further. No power and awful defence.

[Counter-puncher]

I definitely think we'll hear about an injury to the right hand or chest infection or something after the fight

[Counter-puncher]

I think that's because his punching technique is poor, he doesn't get full extension through the shoulder often, and to me it looks like he slaps a lot

[jamesmcdonnell]

Thought selby won 10 of 12. Rosales was competitive but was landing very little most rounds.

Selby looks to lack the power to go to the top.

Yes hes an arm puncher, no hip rotation.

Had Selby winning 118-109 but I wasn't that impressed TBH, put down with a short right in the 1st it was a good win and footwork was excellent but his punches lacked accuracy, thought and dig, he picks his single shots well and he's quick enough and has enough skills to take him pretty far but those skills will be nullified pretty easily against top guys unless he learns to put a bit more snap in his punches

[Counter-puncher]

Ah,he had 'blisters and stuff'

...what is the point in fighting if a card is gonna be 118 to a guy in a fight like that...

Can't see a problem with it.
Selby had all sorts of issues throughout, but did enough quality boxing and moving to win most of the rounds.
I had 116-112 (one drawn).

He ticked a load of boxes for his 9th fight against a quality gate-keeper.
He's gonna have to improve a lot, but no reason he can't win a belt - on points - and have a decent career.

Obviously.

"I don't even like boxing, imagine how good I'd be if I liked it" excellent stuff

[Counter-puncher]

I'm liking the questions from this guy here

[craigjenkins05]

Selby didn't look comfortable after the first round as if something was wrong maybe down to the fact he got dropped not sure though, why is this busy haired presenter who's Name I always forget practically necking Andrew selby can't he hold the mic away from him all in seeing is the back of his head

[jamesmcdonnell]

One thing I'll say for Selby, he's as fit as a butchers dog, all that movement and he was barely even out of breath after the fight.

I can't see any way he won round 12... so that has him at 117 at best.

"No going to Japan, he'd have it on the cards"...yeah...Higa has needed the cards to help him so far...Murata had them in his pocket last weekend too....

[Counter-puncher]

"Who likes getting punched in the face,because I don't, I just like the cheques"

Like the bluntness but not sure what that says about his grit when things get really tough for him

I always think those fighters that do that grunting sound when they punch are doing so because of lack of power, trying to add something that nots there.

I gave CR R12, but even there AS was doing some masterful back-foot pick-pocketing.
It's not a good score, but think it was one of those fights - close in ring, but wide on the scorecards.

Unfortunate choice of music from Marty Askin to be coming out to in Cardiff...l

That's right.

Swing Low. Sweet Chariot. Coming for to carry me home.

Quite.
I think Germany and then us are the most unfair, 'home-advantage on the cards countries' in the world and we assume everywhere else is just as bad !
