I love watching Appleby's attack. His combinations, accuracy and punch variety are great to see, but his defence is awful. He doesn't try to do anything defensively. Nice to see him back though.
I'm hoping Appleby comes on strong in the second half of this fight, looks like the Lindsay defeat may have taken a bit out of him, he looks a shell of the young prospect from a year or two ago but fair play to Laryea who is keeping busy and winning rounds.
If your surname is Appleby, don't be a fighter. Be...be a...bellhop or school librarian or nurse or something.
Round 9 was close. Laryea was showboating after landing a few good shots but Appleby came back well. He needs to turn it up a notch to win.
Probably an Appleby round. He came out storming after a clash of heads which made a small cut into something a lot nastier. The blood isn't running into his eyes, but it's a bad cut. Appleby needs the last two rounds.
