Selby has lost the 1st 3 for me, cut too, looks the bigger guy but doesn't look so fluid, getting caught

Brave Match making from Selby’s team. Douglas is a rough tough handful and only lost at world level on points to guys who punch a lot harder than Selby.

Maybe not the best match to make after such a long time out.

I quite like De Gale, he seems a bit thick but ok and has been game as a pebble in some tough fights. Thought he was a to$$er in the lead up to the Groves fight, but GG is uniquely good amongst boxers at getting under opponents skins so I'm sure he had well and truly pushed JDGs buttons for a long time.

Douglas slowed down second half, home judges will give UD to Selby.

Selby has done enough down the stretch for me to win by a round or 2

Selby will deservedly get the nod but took a total beating in the process. Clearly not at his ideal weight.

I think it is worrying how much he got tagged by relatively B/C level fighter. That being said, first fight at the new weight, lot's for his trainer to think about.

Selby's career starting to resemble an ageing Ali, unable to maintain the slickness and dancing for long spells and relying instead on showing his toughness and durability with only cameos of the sharpshooting

Stiverne's weight is a joke. He cannot have taken this seriously and JJ is hungry (Stiverne clearly isn't) . Predict Joyce by early ko.

Looks like Stiverne's might have taught JJ something if he was in shape.
