Hello Mick, I agree Lindsay was trailing on points at the time of the stoppage. I believe at the start of the bout he was trying to hard, and was lunging in when he got tagged and floored.Martin's tactics were all wrong to begin with, but once he settled down and started punch picking, he looked like an all together different boxer. Lindsay is known for his patience, but I thought he was way too patient at times in this contest, letting Matthews off the hook a few times, when the scouser was in obvious distress.All these things need to be addressed if he is to progress beyond the British and Irish scene.But a win like this, can bring a fighter on in leaps and bounds, and I'm hopeful he can go on to achieve great things.
