All depends who has the most left! Burns has the natural size advantage.

Burns has been in some decent scraps, but Selby is defo one for the purists. I can’t recall him ever been in an engaging contest. I’d imagine this will follow suit. Hopefully Ricky can take it to him though being the bigger man.

This could be a multi knockdown exciting slugfest or it could play out like most of Selby's snoozefests,i'd go for the latter

I don’t like talking about bets before the fact.
But 17s is the lowest I can remember seeing a draw

It’s usually 33s for most fights and 20-25 for a good fight. I was so sure of it for Corolla - Burns. I accidentally put a 5er on twice for Jack/DeGale so won the £250. Always worth a 5er with two tough guys/not big punchers.

A draw for me but Lee was for sure the better boxer.

Don’t see Selby doing much in that division. I couldn’t see him beating Campbell.
