    Comments Thread For: Lee Selby: Honestly, I'm Disappointed in My Performance

    Lee Selby made a successful first defence of his IBF featherweight title with a unanimous points win over Fernando Montiel in Arizona.

    The Welshman was seriously troubled at times by Montiel, a former two-weight world champion, and scores of 119-109 118-110 and 116-112 did not reflect a tough battle for the Barry man on his American debut.

        Oi, that's the Welsh Mayweather you're talking about

        You can only smile when that 'nickname' is mentioned.

          Boxers with world titles shouldn't be choosing old shot boxers like Montiel as opponents.

          Fernando Montiel's best was between 7 and 10 years ago when he fought at super flyweight.

          I remember he seemed small even for bantamweight when he fought Donaire.

            Yeah right Mr 31K posts, you know it all.

            Listen sunshine, everyone knows that was the first time you saw him fight. You spend too much time on NSB and not nearly enough time watching boxing.

            Get back to you sticky laptop, you ****.

              Hi Hugh... long time.

              Yea, I don't think it's fair using that as an argument when talking about how good a fighter is. Clearly Selby has achieved something very few boxers do and that is quite ze accomplishment.

              However, for all the talk of him being the 'Welsh Mayweather' there needs to be the simple and blunt comments of people like IDH to balance the force. He's like the little green **** that is Yoda.

              My opinion is that he's a decent world champion who is deserving of the belt, although I think there's a good 5 or so boxers in his division that are better than him.

                Maybe the Mayweather they were talking about is Jeff?

                  Some of us, i.e. ME, have been around this game a lot longer than you young pups. I recall people saying similar things about Mayweather after the Burton fight. Remind me, how did Mayweather get on with the rest of his career?

                  People need to understand that a bad performance doesn't make a bad fighter, it's just a stepping stone on the road to bigger and better things. Selby will most likely dazzle in his next fight, and you naysayers will all start beating your meat over him.

                  Lets not forget, he still came over to America, was booed and jeered throughout the fight and still came out with a victory against a 3 weight world champion who as little as 4 years ago was in most peoples P4P top 10.

                  Good on Selby i say, well done champ.

                  Bellends like Mr 'IronDanHamza' (what sort of ****** name is that?!?!?) who spends his whole life on NSB should know a lot better. You mate, are all talk and no trousers. Next time think before you post, because NO ONE is impressed by the fact you and your sticky laptop spend all day everyday on a boxing forum! What a loser!

                    Box Up must be Lee Selby. Or his wife or something.
