I've seen a lot of Selby's fights at the Newport Leisure Centre and he has often been the best fighter on the bill. He really is talented. This isn't going to be the walkover some seem to be suggesting. This will be a close fight make no mistake.

Whoever wins Simpson fights aftewards!

Bit of look of smith wins he vacates and goes for european 3rd match with simpson is unnecessary although they where both close fights smith imo deservedly won, both fights

Here we go, Billy gona be at it AGAIN, Stephens beat John twice, took his both titles off him in his 11th an 12th fights, y does he after go an do it again, surely he deserves to move on now ahead insead of goin backwards fighting Simpson, if he's made mandatory then so be it but besides that Stephens goin forward, not back

I've not seen enough of Selby but he seems to be getting lot of praise, but I know Stephen and what he is capable of, people are yet to see the best of him, he can't fight Simpson again as they both just don't need that kinda fight! Stephen is on the verge of some big big things and it's only a matter of time till he becomes world champion IMHO that is,

i agreed bomber he need s the next level european title simpson was un lucky but booth great fighter s and a 3rd fight will mean nothin hopefully he gets onto european title and steps up yet another level which im sure hell b a great champ

i fancy smith points the winner sud fight the winner of english title fight joe murray v chris male. male all the way in both fights he my cuz but this kid is talented he gunna cause a big stir and upset sum so called big names/future stars

Smith on points in my opinion, but should be interesting one to see. Who else is on this card?

Please help me understand all the love for Selby. Is he faster, does he have a better jab? What is it? On paper, its not close. Does Selby have a better chin?

Selby may be arkward for the first half of the fight then Swifty will take over and stop him late on.. Selbys a decent fighter and deserves his chance but Stephen is levels above and will show it on the night! Future World champion ;;-)

this bill is the start of the south wales Vs Liverpool battles.
the smith brothers are all taking on south wales boys.
then we'll see Gav 'the rock Rees take down Derry on Oct1st in newport
then Then the world champion King 'Clev' dismantle 'the bomber' on Oct15

Good luck Swifty!!!!

Us more realistic Welshman call it 'The Newport Moustache'!!

Good little fight this, good 2nd defence. Selby willbe very game but Swifty is a class act I think he'll get a good clear decision

Selby saying he'll beat Swifty at whatever game he chooses.

Let's hope you fight then, Lee. Don't run.

if smith starts the way he did against simpson then wouldnt be shocked to see it end early but smith points is the pick for me, gutted i cant go tonight :(

I know, mate. Am in Newcastle now so would have been a ball-ache for me to make it with starting uni on mon.

Couple of good fights too. Beefy against Jones will be a cracker.

yeah jones is no mug intresting to see the improvements liams made under gallagher

From what Liam has been saying recently he's really kicked on in training. Weren't taking the pro game that seriously and it's only been over the last 6 months that he's got his shit together.

Good luck to the lad tonight.
