That's your opinion and I have mine.

Horse is acting his nomenclature. Stubborn and unable to provide a reason.

I thought Selby was far from perfect - he moves his feet a lot, so occasionally gets flat footed on a counter punch (round 3 I think, he slightly stumbled), and of course, should have finished it before the 12, but my comments are minor grumbles (and I'm assuming his trainer is harking on about them far more than me).

If you aren't enjoying watching someone like him build a career, I doubt if you are a boxing fan.

Provide a reason for what?

I scored about 4 rounds against Selby. What is to explain?

"You're not a boxing fan if you don't worship my favourite fighter!". Sod off!

3rd pro fight British title Wish they would get rid of this 10/20 building unbeaten fight record bollox, in the heavier weights and stick them in earlier, if their good enough then they will shine if not so what, start again.

The flyweight division is pants domestically, hence it's generally easier for fighters to move through the domestic scene (and more broadly the Euro scene, which is also pretty shallow) quickly. Someone like Kevin Satchell isn't a particularly good fighter in my view, but due to the regionally weak talent pool he was able to capture Commonwealth, British, and EBU titles within 13 fights, something I' doubt he'd be able to accomplish in heavier divisions where the British and European fighters are much stronger and more numerous.

If you look past the title to the actual opponents Selby and Magri beat the results aren't that impressive, although that doesn't mean the potential to do impressive things globally isn't/wasn't there.

What does it matter?

What is this nonsense?

Stop acting like the answer to that question is going to blow this case wide open.

Pathetic behaviour.

It will prove how little you know about boxing; no way can anyone including Stevie Wonder score 4 rounds against Andrew Selby. You are an absolute fool/joke of a Horse.

It is not an opinion it is a fact. Look at the official score cards to back it up

Only a complete bozo thinks like that.

He was very good, but it wasn't like watching Naz or even Hatton at that stage. You just knew with them, right from the off.

That they wasn't going to be truly great.
