Joe Selkirk is one of the most naturaly gifted fighters I have ever seen fight live, he made boxing look easy even in his amateur days when he destroyed Anthony oggo and Sam web with out even training properly and out drinking sometimes the week of the fights.

Maybe it's the not training properly and the drinking that's the problem, not the talent...

Would of been a Great fight with Gary.. Been told it's his Hands, they keep going.

Gary is a game fighter but Selkirk would of beat him maybe stopped him inside 6

I think joey is class & I think he will fight again.

Do I think he will ever reach his potential? No.

[went distance REAL LOT OF TIMES!]) SORRY TO READ OF ERNIE SMITH KILLING HIMSELF, age 31 in 2010. Remember the feature story Ring mag ran a few years back about Billy Smith (very impressive story)

I día a Google, seems he's in trouble with the law again, for an assault on a copper!
Has he just been unlucky? Or is the a case of talent being wasted due to outside the ring activities?

couple of articles seems hes on bail for assault on a copper / d and d from December 23rd last year and also an article stating how he was gutted a 'gangeland' friend who was wanted by the police was shot dead.

Doesn't sound like hes 'living the life' as they say.

I don't think he'd get involved in that nonsense, he's been training hard at The MGM...

He was also convicted of assaulting his girlfriend last year ......

After what happened to his dad you'd think he'd avoid associating with a crowd like the kinahan crew like the plague.
