2 guys not going anywhere fast. Hard to say who would win that one.

Burns back down to 135lb? he'll look fvcking ghastly at the weigh in

Plenty of notice and @ Lightweight I assume ?
Burns will outwork him I reckon and Selby wont really be able to put a dent in him ,

Burns all the way

Burns last couple have been lightweight

Burns points, fairly wide.

A match made in hell.....if ever a fight had "one for the purists" written all over it,this was it.

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.

Love how there aint no votes for KO's..

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

Yeah i've never seen odds like that for a draw. Usually 20/25-1ish....

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.
