By the sounds of things there is going to be LOADS of shows in Liverpool coming up and im going to be going to all of them :happy
I asked this question the other day is Simpson rematching Lindsay or does the boards call for purse bids of Smith Simpson overrule this?
simpson only got his shot at lindsey coz smith broke his hand, so i think its only fair smith gets the shot before lindsey
I agree it does make sense Smith was/is mandatory for the British and already holds a win over the current holder so seems fair enough
Agreed. I think it was just a case of F.W. giving him the opportunity at the British SMW title and he couldn't let it pass him by.
Any news on where the prizefighter will be held, probably way too early for ticket details. Great round up, thanks for that. Hopefully get a few of these in, had a great night at the olympia watching Derry last Saturday. Cheers Jamie
