    Billy Nelson has confirmed that Simpson is moving up to super bantam and I think a match up between these two fighters would be interesting with both of them having lost their last fights.

    Simpson lost a British featherweight title fight to Smith in his first defence having taken the title from Martin Lindsay and Casey was blown away in one round by Rignodeaux in a WBA interim bout after having had a Rockyesque career up to then with winning Prizefighter as a last minute replacement for Wayne McCCullough and winning the European title against Paulie Hyland.

    How do you see this one going..?

    Can't see a knock out for either. Simpson would probably scrape it but it could go either way. Has the makings of another cracking fight. Make it happen!

    Simpson clearly on points or maybe late stoppage from body shots. Hes mixed in better company ( Rigo aside, but look what happened ) and has always been competitive. Hope making Super bantam doesnt hurt him though, his workrate is one of his greatest assets

    Great fight between 2 of my favourite domestic fighters. I think Simpson would take a close but clear win in a very exciting fight, with the possibility of a late stoppage.

    Simpson by mid to late KO/Stoppage.

    would be a great centre of the ring battle.

    Simpson would take this he is a great addition to the SBW scene if this i true. Some great matches out there if he can keep his strength and power at the weight he will be a beast

    Casey is one of the worst fighters to fight for a world title.

    Now you are calling it a world title? Try to be a little consistent Rob.
