He went to the US at a weird time for him - failed to capitalise on the momentum he’d created over here and then fought Montiel in a not so great fight.

If you told me to name one Selby win, what would immediately spring to mind is the Smith KO

Aye, that marked him out as above domestic level. After the Gradovich fight the feeling was he was something special. Dunno, maybe its just me but i always think back to that fight as his stand out performance.

I thought he'd toy with Warrington. Very wrong.

I always wondered what happened to Selbys hard accurate jab after Gradovich? It was a terrific weapon, it used to break guys down, then he hardly used it. I always suspected an injury of some kind.
Anyone know?

Yes indeed, and Robbie Sims outlasting Roberto Duran on the same bill. It was a bizarre evening in Las Vegas: Cruz-McGuigan went on first when the afternoon heat still lingered; then came Sims-Duran as the temperature began to drop and finally, Thomas Hearns stopped Mark Medal in eight rounds in the cool night air.

Just watched it. I seem to remember that Vitali had played up when Corrie went over to commiserate with Wladimir but Vitali didn't do anything. It's funny how the memory plays tricks.

Corrie never took his training that seriously. Was a good athlete. RIP

It isn't. Jersey Joe Walcott in my opinion.
Or Archie Moore.

Marciano had loads of decent wins. Ezzard Charles too.

Not for long though, Chris Algieri came back from a terrible 10-7 first round to out point him, take the belt and hand it over to Manny for a very tidy sum :OhYes:

He hasn't dined out. He's gone absolutely mad.
Just listened to an interview on IFL and it was referenced that some bad photos went on Twitter yesterday of Scott. Anyone know what they are? I had a quick look but couldn’t see anything.

Twitter has gone mad with it. As someone who struggles with addiction I hope he pulls through.

Had a look but couldn't see anything. The overall sentiment seemed to be they were that bad, they not be shared anymore.

Lots of people tweeting photos of him with the British title after he beat Cheeseman.

Hope he gets it together, not even for his boxing career, just in general.

Whoa, blast from the past. Forgot all about this fight.

Didn't he step in for somebody else late notice and pull a bit of an upset?
