    Dn't get too excited about Luke Wilton, I've seen this kid as an amateur and to be honest he was gifted a LOT of fights which I thought he clearly lost, and he hasn't looked too impressive as a pro either.

    lindsay fighting for the world title in belfast...brilliant....

    im buzzing about tomorrow night...this will be some fight...martin needs to make appleby respect his power early...otherwise appleby will be going hell for leather for the full 12rds and could make this tougher than it should be for lindsay

    Well I guess it is swings and roundabouts then, because Usman Ahmed was absolutely gifted the decision against him on the Sutherland undercard in December. I thought he was quite impressive in that fight(winning 40-37 on my card) and looked like he had the potential to be a good British/Commonwealth champion in the future if handled well.

    As regards a yank journalist picking Taylor after admitting to having never seen Froch, I remember another American journalist doing the same before Calzaghe v Lacy. He said he had never seen Calzaghe fight so couldn't really give a prediction on the fight, but then went and said he reckoned Lacy would knock him out in 3 rounds.

    It's just the general lack of respect which is shown to all fighters who come from and are based out of Europe. Many within American boxing have a superiority complex.

    Apparently Duddy will be in the ring around 10pm ET, BBC will get highlights at some stage. As far as seeing it live Im not sure, but wouldnt expect it to be easily accessed on the net, I remember the Howe fight being similar.
