Comments Thread For: Lee Selby: I Fancy My Chances Against Leo Santa Cruz

Selby has a good chance of outboxing LSC

Selby got a gift against Gradovich at home and a B class? C class Montiel, for a showcase defence in America. He fancies a lot, but Montiel may be too much for this dreamer. Kameda fancy Danned McDonnell for ten rounds and lost. Selby fancies around Grado for 6 rounds and wins. No equity at all.

what fight did you watch? Gradovich plodded forward and Selby was far too slick for him. Selby jabbed and pot shotted him all night long.

That stoppage was worse for Selby than it was for Gradovich because he was going to beat him to a pulp anyways, but that stoppage took the shine off Lee's win.

It is also his "first" defense of a World title. How many guys take their World title abroad for a first defense? Whom did Lomachenko or Walters faced for their first defenses?

Was going to post the exact same thing!

But also I do think LSC relentless pressure always gives him a chance to turn a fight around in his favor especially late. If you tire or slow down late in a fight LSC will outwork you

Lee embarrasses Santa B*tch!

Selby would school him.

[soul_survivor]

LSC would fuck him up, not even funny.

That is funny cos LSC doesn't always have a wild punch output and is pretty limited, Selby has a lack of power but makes up for it with tonnes of skill and can match LSC for size and physical strength.

Either I have amnesia that I need to see a doctor about or you were watching a different fight my man.

Very true. It just depends on how the pace of the fight plays out and if LSC can effectively use his length

LSC would have to jump all over Selby for 12 rounds, cant see it happening!
