Terrific fight overall. Great way to close off the year. I expect we all have it pretty similar but my scorecard is: Rnd 1 - Simpson (pushed Lindsay back and landed the better shots. also his type of fight) Rnd 2 - Simpson (landed the cleaner shots more often and leaving Lindsay swinging for nothing) Rnd 3 - Lindsay (close round but slightly better boxing from Lindsay and covering well landing good punches) Rnd 4 - Simpson (Simpson back on top. winning the majority of the trades) Rnd 5 - Simpson (held the centre of the ring and landed the better punches again) Rnd 6 - Simpson (Big round from Simpson. Linday is not there and is getting bulllied. Lindsay finishing stronger though) Rnd 7 - Simpson (Outworking and bullying him. Lindsay better at the end but still forced back with combination shots from Simpson) Rnd 8 - Lindsay (neither landing much but Lindsay manages to back Simpson up a little more. Could have been Simpson round) Rnd 9 - Lindsay (Lindsay blocks a lot of punches and holds his ground better though enough to just take it) Rnd 10 - Simpson (gets back on the front foot, outworking and outlanding Lindsay) Rnd 11 - Simpson (Lindsay landed some decent counters but Simpson pushes the pace with some great body shots) Rnd 12 - Lindsay (toe to toe again, Lindsay landing the better shots and evading punches better) Total - 116-112 Simpson Won't be surprised to hear of a split or majority decision though. No way Lindsay won in reality.
Great round from both. Typical Simmo fight blood and guts non stop action. Simmo deserves the nod and I hope he get it. Lindsay needs to stay active after this though should of been kicking on a year ago and never got going. Great fight though.
I guarantee Lindsay will win. At least we know he's found his level now, there was talk of him fighting Cristobal Cruz when he still held the IBF WAR SIMPSON!!!
