    Following last nights fight we had a couple of beers in our hotel in Belfast with the other fighters on the bill and Martin's supporters,When Martin arrived a little later myself,john,martin,ricky and michael roberts went into another room and had a beer and a chat about the fight.
    I'd like to say Martin is a very honest and intellegent young man who conducted himself magnificently and is a credit to our great sport.

    Here here Billy. Credit to both lads in the interview as well.

    Couldn't see Lindsay losing last night. I had a large slice of humble pie for my breakfast this morning. Congrats to your team. Hope you didn't have too many guinness!

    Like a British Marquez-Katsidis ending. Lovely to hear. He's a class act in and outside of the ring.

    I think the skill level on show was very high for a domestic bout. Both guys can go onwards and have brilliant careers. Lindsay could of easily wilted under the attacks of Simmo. But he showed a champions heart and will come again no doubt.

    Good to hear.

    John was tip-top last night, his best win yet and I thought his defense looked tighter and he fought with real maturity.

    Great win, well done all involved! :good

    I've always liked Simpson. Good to see his career's back on track after close losses to Appleby and Smith. Will he go for a Euro shot Billy?
    He's good enough no doubt.

    You're one to talk about anybody's ego. The fact you feel your opinion actually matters a **** to one of the best trainers in Britain tells us all we need to know.

    Last nights fight was why I love domestic boxing so much. Wish I was in there at the show to watch it.

    Well done to all involved.

    Nutjob you are a *****. You seem to have no concept of boundaries to stop you falling on being on the offensive side. **** off to your dodgy website and streams.

    Simpson was having a great deal of success with the jab. After the second round you could see Lindsay's eye was swelling up nicely so it made sense to target that and in the later rounds it lead to Lindsay taking a lot of shots he couldn't see. Fine by me.


    Congratulations Billy and good to hear that Martin and his team were so gracious in defeat. I hope 2011 is just as successful as 2010 was. :good

    It was a top draw fight ... Ive backed Simpson on a few occasions to my benefit but last night I opposed him thinking Lindsay was the more progressive fighter ..

    John Simpson I take my hat off to you ! ...walked down Lindsay over 12 hard fought rounds and no complaints from me ... rematch with Smith then give Lindsay another crack.. after that who knows ; Scottish boxing is in good shape at the moment ..
