This has to be put back as john has to fight steve bell on the amir khan undercard. Bit of a blow for john as he was really wanting this fight as soon as possible. Just hope can get it arranged asap
Why doesnt he vacate, Whats he going to prove fighting Bell when Simpson and Lindsay are supposed to be the two best featherweights in the country, I fought he was going to step up now, if you ask me Steven Bell isnt much of a step up.
Bell is a step down from truscott IMO. I think by the sounds of the text he sent to me hes not too happy about fighting bell as i know he was desparate for the lindsay fight but its his managament team who make his fights not him. He was waiting for a call yesterday confirming the lindsay fight so this seems to have come as a suprise to him
If he really wants the fight with Lindsay i think he could get it no problem, I couldnt see Simpson been happy with fighting Steven Bell if he is wanting that step up in class now.
simpson is running scared lets be honest if he really wanted the fight he could work around the bell fight with his management what a load of bollox
Mate you've seen Simpson fight... you honestly believe the guy would run scared from anyone?? I don't think I've seen a more honest fighter
I dont think he is runnig scared thats not like John Simpson hes fought everyone put in frunt of him, But if he really wants the fight he could get it.
maybe so but all the alk of the fight for so long and then this sounds like simpson wants to make a few quid of his commenwealth strap tbh
John knew nothing of this until today. He was waiting yesterday for the call about the lindsay fight so finding out about the bell fight has come as a shock to him. he wants the lindsay fight more than anything but has been assured that will stop happen after he beats Bell. Dont know the ins and outs of it yet as hes only been texting me but ill phone him later whne i finish and find out all the details but i can assure you hes not running scared!!!
simpson has bottled it...but who can blame him on getting a easy pay day against bell...i think simpson and his management knew that lindsay was a step to far:deal
whenever is not good enough...you and quite a few others have been spouting how much simpson fancies the lindsay job...now his management make a fight with bell to avoid lindsay...i think simpson has lost a lot of cred now...thats whats wrong with boxing today,to many fighters avoiding each other...at least martin cant be accused of that:deal
