SMH, Selby is shook, won't even mention Russell's name. I don't know why but has to be related to Gary punking him on tv

He did look shook when GRJ was pressing him during that interview! I hope GRJ gets it in with Mares!

Selby wasn't shook at all. He's just a quiet and shy lad. Nothing more.

If i were in selbys shoes, i also would try to get a fight against frampton. Much more money involved and even more prestige in fighting one of the fighter of the year contender.

Russell Jr. currently is a once a year fighter and is about to fight oscar escandon.. So i dont really get the notion of ducking

Selby's the weakest link @ 126 imo.

Gary Russell Jr is wayyyyyy too inactive for me. I don't know what the problem is. Once in 2015 and 2016. He better ramp it up in 2017, starting with Oscar. There are too many opportunities for him to just be sitting on his butt...

With that being said, Selby has plenty of options for good fights. I understand wanting the Frampton fight, but he's young and that fight can happen later anyway... unless he's scared of losing to other fighters at 126. Whether Frampton wins or not, I hope Selby stays active. That's how you build your fan base and get more lucrative fights..
