Simpson Smith rematch purse bids 9th Feb

Just seen this there.This should be good :bbb

The all or nothing 126lb match-up between Commonwealth featherweight champion Stephen “Swifty” Smith and British titleholder John Simpson is set to be confirmed next week after purse bids are submitted next Wednesday.

The pair met in one of the British domestic dust-ups of last year as Smith, 25, took the Scot’s Commonwealth belt via a close split decision at the Kelvin Hall in September and has been out ever since after breaking his hand early on in the bout.

27 year-old Simpson (22-7-0, 9 KO’s) has since gone on to claim the Lonsdale belt after beating Martin Lindsay unanimously on points and will hope to do the same to Liverpudlian Smith when the pair meet again in the next couple of months.

Former Commonwealth gold medallist Smith (11-0, 6 KO’s), is back to full fitness following his injury and will be looking to keep his impressive unbeaten record in tact, in what will be his first defence of the Commonwealth belt.

Isnt wasnt a domestic dust up, it was a snoozefest. Hold grab hold. Lets hope the ref brekas them up this time

 

Any locations / dates been mentioned for this ???

 

should be a cracking fight this time round! simpson will have more confidence then normal after beating lindsay and arguably beating smith in there first scrap, the reason smith kept holding last time was because of injury, no doubts it will be a great fight 50/50 for me

 

well it wasnt john that was doing the holding! But he will be holding onto his titles after this fight

 

if swifty dont break his hand he'll box simpsons head off, like he one the first 3/4 rounds:yep:deal

 

I know he wasnt Billy. I know with have a difference of opinion of Burns but I love watching Simpson. Without the holding I think hes too much man for Smith

 

John had a slow start but to say he boxed his head off is ludicrious!! John has always been a slow starter though he even was against lindsay but barring another dodgy decision john wins comfortably on points IMO.

 

Simpson is a great fighter i am a fan, he always turns up to fight

 

I'd fancy John heavily to get revenge in this match up, first fight he started too slow and should still have won the fight anyway but he knows this so i expect a much more fired up Simpson for this one.

 

John werent fighting with a snapped left hand from the 4th round.....if he f*cks his hand this time then we will see if he holds ey??? I done what I had to do to win! There'll be no holding from me this time, John can bring what he brings and ill bring what I do, should be a great fight but either way I wont be losing!

 

It was a close fight last time, i had it a draw, but your man simpson has pushed on from there, he's a strong charachtered man, and i think he will change the reult this time.:think:good

 

:yep

Really looking forward to this one!

 

I expect Smith to box his head off time around all being good with his hands

 

If he bust his hand you cant blame Smith, but it was a major disapointment. I think the punch output was less than a Bernard Hopkins fight
