*Selby vs Simpson: The Celtic War* Sponsored by HairyHighlander

Wales vs Scotland @ 'The Mecca of Boxing' York Hall Bethnal Green. A war between two nations with rich boxing history meeting in a neutral venue but a venue that has seen some of the finest fights in domestic history. The York Hall will be rocking as both men bring a army of fans. This year the York Hall has seen Walsh-Appleby but could Selby-Simpson steal in and become the Domestic FOTY?.

Simpson and Selby's styles may well mesh into a special battle with Selby having a gunslinging style that smacks of arrogance as he counters shots using his height to avoid shots. Simpson a more balance and fundamental fighter who threw over a thousand punches against Martin Lindsay. Simpson is one of the true grinders of British Boxing, Selby has emerged from literally no where to shock the British scene with his sickening stoppage of Simpsons arch nemesis Stephen Smith.

Selby before Smith had only 2 title bouts compare this to Simpson who will be contesting his 7th straight title fight and his 15th in his career this is really a true youth vs experience match up.

Introducing the fighters..

The Challenger...

John Simpson

Record- 22-8-0

Titles Held- British Featherweight Champion x2
Commonwealth Featherweight Champion

Simpson reminds me of T-101 in Terminator, just won't stop coming after you. Looks savage and cold in his demeanor. He's beaten world ranked Martin Lindsay. He's willing to leave his Scottish blood on the canvas in pursuit of victory. He's one of the finest warriors we have and fact he's on a mission of redemption to snatch his titles back. Selby may well regret his comments about Simpson'.

Introducing The Champion!

Lee Selby

Record-11-1-0

Titles Held- Welsh Area Featherweight Champion
Celtic Featherweight Champion
Current Reigning and Defending British and Commonwealth Champion

Selby's finish of Smith summed him up, Nasty! Doesn't have a care in the world looks to hurt fighters with every punch. Awkward fighter who could well reign for a long time if he gets past Simpson. He's gonna have to be prepared to go to hell and back Wednesday night. He's not short of confidence and maybe with a win on Wednesday night 2011 a star may of been born?. For me he'd be British Boxer of Year IMO.

Two different men, different fighters but both will bring it this could be a pre Christmas Tear Up!. The Celtic War! :happy

:good

 

Yeah i think it's gonna be close, Simpson will take a bit of time to get going but once he gets senses he should get foothold into fight and have good periods of success. Smith fought Selby all wrong. Simpson will be steady IMO, Selby's developing so he may be even better then last time. Intriguing battle..

I'm really up for this fight! :happy

 

Now that is a worry...

 

I hate anthems normally before fights, although i love ours and the Welsh anthem so Wednesday night i'd love to see it. That would get place rocking IMHO.

 

Sorry bro, getting muddled up .

 

Yeah wonder if people think it was a fluke?:think
