That was impressive considering Selkirk boxed with one hand,nothing wrong with stoppage,but I do fear for Selkirk's career with these injuries, he's a talented boxer,picks his shots well and does everything correctly when it comes to throwing shots and judges distance very well
He is absolute class; upper body movement and defensive angles are superb, remind me of a young pre 1992 James Toney, as ridiculous as that sounds. Very few European fighter have those kind of moves, quality
Yeah he's definitely super talented but looks as if injuries aren't going away anytime soon

A lad I know who trains ams at the MGM reckons Selkirk is far and away the most talented fighter he has ever seen in the gym. He is meant to be simply sublime in the gym; nigh on untouchable

Lillis says there's a good fighter who admitted he won't spar Selkirk as it shattered his confidence

Thing is Liam Smith has a fan friendly style about him, but he is 1/200 to win this fight needs proper fights badly.I doubt he has learnt anything since he fought Ochieng.
Just turned this on think Mathews Luis could be a belter. bookies have it 50/50 now.

As limited as Romero is he's come to win, makes a MUCH better fight than seeing a guy come to survive. Credit to the Argie here.

Got to love the Romero fella, caught with somelovely shots and just keeps getting up and coming back swinging. Not sure what sort of test he is for smith, but cant fault the guys effort

Right now looks as though Liam Smith might turn out to be a Macklin sort of fighter. He's tough and fit, hard to beat, but his punch technique isn't brilliant.

Its over ref steps in,Smith is like a bull,he just never stops coming forward,from starting as probably the least talented Smith now looking the best,also has a great variety of punches and upper body movement, strong as an ox

Maciel would be a good fight or Daniel Dawson
Has Jack Culcay vacated the European?
