They are picking guys with pretty looking records but they have no relevance, no measuring stick.

You may as well just put prospects in with the eurobums. Match them relevantly... Ogogo's match is a good one but who the hell is the guy selby is fighting? Why not have an ex world title challenger or even someone whose fought one of the other prospects in the division.

Instead it's just a pretty record that could just as well be a terrible one.

Viorel Simon *Selbys opponent* is an unbeaten prospect who was a top class international amateur who a bronze at the worlds and a bronze and the europeans.

Thought that at the Winter Gardens show Jeff some good records but not much substance to back it up. Oh & the bloke about 1 1/2 foot smaller than Callum Smith!!

Why didn't I know?

Simion is ranked highly by the WBC so I would guess that's why Selby's fighting him.
