    Give the 3rd to Appleby on workrate, he stepped it up a gear in the 3rd. Neither fighter has been hurt really so far.

    All square for me so far

    10-8 round for appleby, Simpson down a punch landed but it was more of a slip than anything else. Ref made him take the 8 count.

    Appleby 1 up

    On this one I have picked a winner changed my mind and changed back again. To be honest I think it is truly 50/50. I have not seen alot of these fighters, I watched Appleby v Higginson II, Andy Davis, Riaz Durgahed & Istvan Nagy. Only saw Simpson v Andy Morris III. I watched these on youtube twice and still could not make up my mind for definite, one things for sure though should be an exciting fight. I do not think this will end early though I think it will definitely go into the later rounds and should be a war, I do feel Appleby is the quicker fighter but he will need to watch for the right hand over the top from Simpson. Simpson has all the experience and has boxed many more rounds and gone past 8 rounds many times. Appleby has not been further than eight and hard sparring is one thing, but when you are out there in a title fight, fighting more rounds than ever before with your opponent still fighting hard and your unbeaten record on the line aswell, you cannot let the pressure get to you.

    Simpson seems more stylish, Appleby hungrier

    Simpson pulls a round back, think he hurt Appleby with a bodyshot near the end.

    Got it 1 for Appleby now

    Got it all square now after 8, Appleby seems to be tiring. Staring to hold a lot, Simpson using the bodyshots wisely.
