    Let just clear this up guys i sparred about 20 rounds with paul appleby and he didnt even come close 2 hurting me!!! and if u ask him he ll clear that one up himself!!!

    obviously his coach is trying 2 play mind games and make it look as tho hes hurtin me 2 make simpson wary,but i dont appreciate bein made 2 look a fool in the press so wont b helpin paul out wi sparrin again!!!!

    How do you reckon this one will go Bizness?

    I can see the young fella winning this as long as he remembers his defence. He sometimes seems too eager to please the crowd and all defence goes out the window.

    Yeah, deffo man. Props to Paul for taking this one so early and props to John for giving him a crack at it. This is a definite glory fight as both fighters could have just as easily taken an easier fight.

    Im gonna be working quite late on Friday but I will be back i time for this one no mistake :)

    What did you think of Appleby when sparring with him? what would you say were his weaknesses? iv been speaking to john and he sees quite a few obvious flaws.

    Johns had some good sparring with the likes of willie limond and ricky burns and is looking in great shape. his power especially his body shots have improves so much over the last year and i think that will be the difference.

    John to wear apleby down then stop him maybe 8th or 9th. aplpleby has never been furthe than 6 i think were john has went the full 12 5 times now. do you think that will have ny difference in the outcome as you have obviousl;y been there and done it.

    also hows you training coming along for ther barnes fight?

    Appleby did go 8 with Buster Dennis but the furtherest he's been other than that is 6 .

    That's some top quality sparring for both fighters so both Paul and John will be in great nick .

    However wins I think this is assured to be a great fight , possibly British boxing fight of the year .

    Gizza clue mate ;) . Or if you wouldn't mind, I'd love your opinion through a pm (it won't go public).

    I'm currently nuts deep on John but would trade out if you favoured Paul.

    Good luck next month against Barnesy btw. :good

    For a British title challenger It's pretty strange he's only fought 8 rounders at the most and not gone past 8. He Is the mandatry but Appleby's being thrown Into the lions den.

    Don't understand why Appleby Is the favourite, John's gone the distance with some tough fighters.

    That said though, Appleby can be a future British champ when he's experianced enough.
