Bad night for Billy Nelson?

I cant understand Scotts comment no lightweight will take his power,an 18 year old novice got up 4 time and to be fair never really seemed to hurt although he would have just took more punishment.
Alittle delutional if you ask me

 

No its not glaring at all my good man! John made 9st quite easy compared to others thats why we were thinking of going down to SBW,john thought the FW on the night were too big, john done what he had to on friday,Paul told me on saturday he wasnt feeling well on the morning of the fight, now we know it was dehydration,its still my opinion john is a great fighter and can match anybody in the UK.

 

Watching it now .Got to admit Simpson moving down had me aswell .I read his boxingnews online interview and remember the hardest part of his training was making 126 but making weight is probably hardest for most fighters anyway .This article is good .


Dropping down to a lower weight class, does not guarantee an advantage. Often the strength you sacrifice in dropping weight negates any possible benefit that you mentally convince yourself you will have. You would be better off coming into the ring feeling strong, fresh, and fully hydrated at a higher weight class. Entering the ring dehydrated is not only detrimental to performance, it is extremely dangerous. Your risk of injury skyrockets when the body is dehydrated.

Simpson is just simply the better fighter Billy, surely even through your bias you can see that.

Since they're first fight (which was really close) Appleby has declined rapidly and Simpson has improved IMO.

 

John is a great wee fighter ive told people on here that for 2 years,some decisions hes had have been nothing short of shocking.:good

 

John Simpson is an underrated fighter.

 

My opinion is if someone turns up to boxing with a drink in them they shouldnt get in,coz people think there 50 men with a drink in them and spoil the night for others,to be fair i never heard anything about trouble in the crowd

 

exactly billy,nobody wants to see a group of drunks spoils the night, need a system set up, something like you must be sober when you go in,properly searched, you get a card that allows you to have 2 pints,get it stamped each time you order one,not a perfect plan but an idea.

 

Thoughts on both fights.

Harrison I think will be like Robin Reid stuck at domestic level, he looked ok but he will struggle with Murray, Rees, Crolla, Matthews. Maybe they could get a fight with the IBO guy that Matthews got stopped against, Marsili?

Appleby needs a break and complete change in the way he thinks in the ring. I thought he lost to Ormond quite clearly last to out aswell. He has great ability but cant seem to use it for 10/12 rounds without getting into a tear up.

 

breathalysed on the door?

 

Totally agree, some of the fans there on Friday night were wasted and should never have got into the building, always a minority ruining it for the rest of us though.

 

It'll be a crime if John never gets a European title shot. Should've had one ages ago. Fegatilli is there for the taking imo.

 

If anyone in the sport deserves a break its wee John hes simply a great lad
