Appleby going to Super Feather

rob, limond got robbed of a decision against khan whos a WORLD class fighter,even though it was a defeat thats better than what pauls done imo.im not saying pauls not a good fighter far from it but he beat a poor john and finished pickering then got stopped by the next live opponent.With regards to improving simpsons doing it, pauls to prove it correct?

 

funny that rob,Amir told me in Newcastle that Limond was the hardest fight hes been involved in,yes willie got beat in the next round but if the rules had been applied willie would have been the winner cant you understand that?

 

limond got a gift? he won by 3 rounds in a 6 round fight.Boxers will always make an excuse when theyve been in a fight they never expected to be in rob. Q. Rob was it or was it not a long count when limond fought amir?

 

To be honest I reckon young Appleby was surprised at how hostile the atmosphere was in Belfast. It was the first time he'd experienced anything like it and you could tell it clearly got to him. He was too gung ho in that fight and let his heart rule his head. I can see that being a loss that he will rectify as long as Lindsay doesnt slip too far down the rankings within the next year or two or suffer too many losses. If Simpson goes to Belfast to face him it will be a different matter altogether though coz John has proven he can fight in a hostile enviroment and come through (in fact, he seems to thrive on it)

Simpson v Lindsay later in the year would be a ******* and a few warm up fights for young Paul then put him into the mix. I reckon by the time Paul is 25 though he will have surpassed them both.

 

quite possible,a few warm ups and a good opponent then would be stephen smith and the winner moving on

 

The potential fights just now in the fw division are mouth-watering

Just off topic for a minute Billy do you still keep in touch with Scott Harrisons people and do you know if he is getting out anytime soon? and how do you reckon he'd fare if he cleaned up his act and returned to the ring?

 

no i dont keep in touch with peter and scott anymore,i hope scott gets out soon though,only peter and scott will decide if scott will fight again,if he does i can only see him boxing at lightweight or light welter he certainly has the mental strength and had the ability but 5 years out is a very long time.

 

khans worst perfomance was gomez really if ya watch the fight he missed loads gomez showed his heart but khan werent on form willie showed he was a top fighter that night appleby got beat of a lad who has to come across seas to defend his title

 

This is a great debate on te possibility of simpson v appleby but i think paul has to have atleast three bouts before he can be given any chance of contest with john it a 50-50 bout if this is going to happen but if paul trys to get him efore that john wins no problem but i think it a great bout it rates the same as arthur v limond was so i do hope they get it on early next year. billy its a shame your not in contact with peter harrison and scott as i no you where great freinds and i hope scott does get out soon as wish him all the best and as you said billy if he was to return it would be hard for him but i hope he trys

 

thanks mate. later in the year maybe Limond v Arthur and Simpson v Appleby 2-0 to the west coast me thinks

 

as far as we are aware paul is ment to be fighting in glasgow in april , and he is ment to be havin sparring with ricky burns at some point in the next couple weeks . Paul will not get back to his best straight away it will take time to get back into it but only tikme will tell .

 

I heard that myself - were you at this fight?
