Swifty will wear him down and stop him.
Him and Simpson are a level above the rest of the domestic division at the moment.

Swifty is a class act but nobody has seen what Selby can do because he's not been televised, Selby has a lot of talent too. I see him being written off a lot like Jon Kays and Robbie Turley were but he'll put in performances like them too. When Selb is focused he can be class, I predict a very tight decision.

He might do that as well. Actually meant do a job. O & P are next to each other on the keyboard.

Selby will win inside the distance ....Trust me he is a class act as is his brother....I have seen him since he was ten yrs old and is now an awesome prospect,,,watch this space believe me. I have seen smith and he is exceptional but no way is he in the same league as selby.

absolutely right he is Robbie Turley and Gary Bucklands main sparring partner I have seen him constantly for yrs as Robbie was written off so you may write Selby off at your peril he will win inside the distance

A points win for Selby, an outside chance. Stoppage? What's Selby done to prove he's got the minerals?
Good fight regardless.

Swifty will look exceptional in this fight! I fully expect him to shine! Stoppages are not the be all and end all! There great but you can still put in a great performance without stopping your opponent

So the undefeated British and Commonwealth champ is not in the same league as an 11 fight novice?

I tipped Selby as one to watch, inthink he will win this by stoppage. That said he does get caught too often so as long as he tucks up and throws his bombs he wins.

I mostly agree with your opinions but I think Swifty will struggle to look exceptional here against such a classy awkward operator like Selby. This fight really captures me because if swifty wins then he pushes on to world title later one in the season IMO but Selby could easily make a name for himself

selby has shown good form & is thouroughly deserving for a pop. but i think he get's stopped in 9-10 rds smith has gears on him & too much expieriance all round from am expiriance to pro rounds. i believe smith is just that bit better & selby will show promise.
esta la vista booby

Stephen will start to get the respect an praise he deserves again after this fight, doesn't no the meaning of takin easy routes or fights, Simpson in his 11th an 12th fight, then selby as a voluntary defence, the kid is a class act an 1 many should look at an take note, he will get what he deserves out of this game believe me
