    IMO YES.

    Was a pure slap, what a shameful act, no wonder was on Boxnation. Disgraceful stuff.

    When i watched it live, the way he went down i thought it was low blow. It was beyond overacting. Is it any wonder why it got removed from Sky.

    From get go the Simpson that is on the ball and steaming down his opponent was slow and throwing single shots.

    Smelly fight. We didn't even get Billy on forum bragging weeks in advance.........

    Dont think he took a dive but it was a nothing shot that stopped him, maybe he had an injured rib?

    It happens man .Remember Mayweather broke a rib in sparring .It could be just a freak shot . Hopefully Simpson comes back but Selby said he's been working on that.

    he never had an injured rib.... speaking from a family member.. gutted !!.. but selby deserves it... john wouldnt just give up.. or take a dive hes not like that ! was obviously a sore punch...

    well at least he achieved something in boxing and he still has the two belts for keeps !!

    sorry to say that was his last fight !!

    well done to selby !!

    As Buncey said, the damage seemed to be done in the 3rd round when Selby landed a two punch combo to Simpson's body when he backed up to the ropes.

    Maybe Selby has legit power? The shot he stopped Smith with didnt seem to connect properly either.
