    Simmons boxed really well but i just dont think Hearn really cares much about any other Scottish boxer basically said as much when he said without Burns there is no Scottish shows, I think the win over Graf may open doors for him in Germany where a lot of Crusierwieght action seems to take place

    Aye seen Hearn say that, think that's more a problem for the up and coming fighters rather than Simbo, that win will take him top 15 in WBC rankings so think Hearn will get him out on a show or 2 down south while waiting for Ricky.

    Simmons would obliterate Camacho

    Big Simbo will be out nov/dec in a show put on in Edinburgh , thought he was great on sat , as for Camacho , don't think he will step in the ring with big Stephen after sat.

    Is Simmons officially a Matchroom fighter or was he just fighting on the Burns bill because he is Scottish? I think I remember him being on the undercard of the W****n show when Burns beat Mitchell?....it would be good if Matchroom had signed him like and if he could get some exposure on Sky, very impressive on Saturday.

    Wasn't impressed by him at all. Graf was absolutely knackered by round 4. He should have got him outta there.

    Is that an AAA show mate? Meadowbank? I didn't know there was one on.

    Managed by Morrison but I think he may have done enough to get Eddie's attention no matter what happens with Burns. As bad as Edinburgh attendances are for boxing I reckon he would shift enough to make a home town show worthwhile.
