First good domestic fight of 2009 is confirmed for March 7 :happy I'm taking Lindsay to win a wide decision on points. http://www.hayemaker.com/News/Default.aspx?Entry=44
i really fancy lindsay chanches appleby has no defence and lindsay will be countering him all night so lindsay k o for me.
Appleby........just. Then again the last time I thought an Irish fighter would narrowly lose a fight for the Irish title they won in spectacular fashion(McCloskey), hopefully it'll be the same here(even though I'm a big fan of Appleby).
I think Lindsay has a good chance. He's a good counterpuncher. I think he struggled with the height and reach of Matthews. Appleby comes forward more and takes a lot of chances with his aggression. That should play into the counterpunchers hands. Appleby does have a few more strings to his bow though. He should just about pull through. I think the polls will level out in his favour.
Appleby has a decent chin (well he gets hit enough and doesnt go down) and Lindsay really isnt that much of a puncher, lets remember he was getting outboxed easily by Derry but he just doesnt have a chin.
