Comments Thread For: Gradovich vs. Selby Showdown is Eyed For Russia

[FelipeB]

I don't think it was a fair result .. Velez gassed out .8-4

[Black Barty]

Klimas is delusional, this fight happens in the US or UK, Hearns won't let Selby goto Russia. Selby's favored by decision, going to Russia hurts that, plus there's more upside defending the title against Walters, Lomochenko, or Mares/Cruz than the extra cash involved for willingly going to Russia.

By whom and based on what?

I like this fight. Not seen much of Gradovich but felt he edged his last fight after Valez (who looked fantastic for 3-4 rounds) faded a tad.

He looked pretty solid, good engine, decent all round really but nothing stuck out as great. Should be a good fight. May the best man win

Gradovich ain't a real standout but he's a solid all rounder with a good engine who leaves everything in the ring. Hard not to like the kid, though he's probably pretty much hit his ceiling already. Like most I think he shoulda been given the nod against Velez, but it wouldn't surprise me if he finds himself on the receiving end of further such decisions in the future.

I'll definitely be looking forward to a Gradovich - Selby fight though (in fact, Evgeny is one of those guys where it's gonna be interesting pretty much whoever you put him in with) and I'm sure that Selby will at the very least have his hands full.... in fact I got El Ruso on this one, though I've a sad feeling that home advantage may end up being a major factor either way.

Gradovich won the fight against Veldez. No ifs, and, or buts about it.

Draw is not a fair result, Veldez win isn't a fair result.

Only a Gradovich victory is fair.

Gradovich bores me this fight doesn't make me want to watch him anymore than I don't already want to Selby is a slap happy boxer maybe it could be intriguing but unless Gradovich is fighting an aggressive ****er type or an elite Feather. meh
