well lindsay wont be found out by Simpson, as brave John wont fight him. you or simpson are not fooling anyone with bbbc ordered Simpson to fight bell first excuse...they ordered lindsay-simpson...now the commonwealth board would have given simpson a list of challengers to pick from[thats the way they work] and lindsay as british champ would have been on list...so simpson could have made a defence of his title against lindsay...face it mate...simpson is avoiding lindsay:deal
You are in denial mate! Lindsay was beating the crap out of Matthews in the second half of that fight, Matthews had a cut over his eye and a busted up nose, Lindsay didn't have a mark on him! The way you lot go on you'd think the punch that put Matthews down was the only one thrown by Lindsay the whole fight! If Lindsay fought Matthews again he would get him out of there in 6 rounds. As for Lindsay getting "found out", well look at John Simpsons record and look at Lindsays. Simpson has lost 6 times, Lindsay is undefeated with wins over Appleby and Matthews, both of who beat Simpson. So who's been found out here? I get that you are supporting your own but let's not get things twisted here, Simpson has already been found out. Lindsay is being seriously overlooked on this forum.
GREENOCK boxer John Simpson has suffered a set-back in his bid to regain the British featherweright title. Simpson, who recently successfully retained his Commonwealth title by stopping Paul Truscott of Middlesbrough in a re-match on the Englishman's home ground, was originally told by the boxing board of control that he would now be given a title shot at Northern Ireland's Martin Lindsay. Now the board have reconsidered and informed Simpson that first he must meet another English opponent, Steven Bell whom he was supposed to fight last March. Only if Simpson gets through that contest, on the undercard of the Amir Khan fight on 5 December against Dmitriy Salita in Newcastle, will the Lindsay contest take place as planned. http://www.greenocktelegraph.co.uk/sport/roundup/articles/2009/10/16/393008-simpson-fight-blow/
the bottom line guys is john is livid hes not boxing martin, but eh when they do meet john will be going home with 2 belts, dont underestimate simpson,if derry can put martin down and hurt him simpson could stop him
Lindsay walked onto that punch from Matthews and was totally uneffected by it for the next 7 rounds, look at the video and you will see that. And if Lindsay can stop Matthews and Appleby, (both of who Simpson lost to), then he can certainly outbox or even stop Simpson. Lindsay is the one being underestimated on this forum. which is ridiculous as he is unbeaten, has knockouts at a higher level than Simpson, and has beaten two guys Simpson couldn't. Simpson may have lost his chance here, Lindsay aint waiting around forever, that EBU belt is calling him :yep
John Simpson wont be ducking him because i dont think thats his style haha but if he really wanted the fight with Lindsay i think he could get it.
John has no option but to fight bell as hes been ordered br BBBC. If you remember he signed a contract back in march to fight steve bell only for the fight to be cancelled due to john picking up an injury. FW still has that contract and the board have now ordered him to fight bell before a fight with lindsay takes place. So even if he were to vacate to commonwealth he wouldnt be getting a shot at lindsay. its no excuse ITS A FACT!!!
