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.Bigdogsnose wrote: ↑30 Oct 2021, 16:41 Probably a little harsh but Lee Selby had many (including me) convinced he was the welsh Mayweather after the Gradovich fight. Rest of his career was just pretty underwhelming from that point on.

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

Re: fighters who dined out on 1 result
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.
Re: fighters who dined out on 1 result
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.Bigdogsnose wrote: ↑30 Oct 2021, 17:53Aye, that marked him out as above domestic level. After the Gradovich fight the feeling was he was something special.

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.

Corrie Sanders Wladimir I guess
Re: fighters who dined out on 1 result
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.

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.

Had a look but couldn't see anything. The overall sentiment seemed to be they were that bad, they not be shared anymore.maverick23 wrote: ↑05 Nov 2021, 05:04Just listened to an interview on IFL and it was referenced that some bad photos went on Twitter yesterday of Scott.

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.
