Simpson fighting for EBU title.

Winnable fight, not the direction I would be looking in though.

Why hold two dodgy titles?

 

Wasnt he on the McCloskey v Lynes undercard? From memory he was pretty gash

 

I would have liked to see him give Truscott a rematch, like he said he would after their fight, but can’t knock him for going for a Euro title shot.

 

This is the guy Michael Hunter just beat after coming back from a lay off.

 

:rofl

I guess that divison is not too 'hot'

 

hey its not the full european belt.it is the secodn tier belt ig you must.still a chance for him though...

 

:good It's the EU belt but would get him a good ranking for the proper Euro belt.

 

aye true.our own willie limond used to hold the belt at super reatherweight,amnd michael sprott held the heavyweight version

 

What does the EBU-EU belt actually get you?

A top 10 in the proper EBU rankings?

Obviously the proper EBU nets you a top 15 WBC rankings - looking ahead....

On second thoughts.....

This fight probably isn't that bad. His record would suggest he is very beatable. Having said he would give Truscott a return, he will most likely be out for a spell and may fancy a tune-up/a body to warm up on (lets get it right!), whilst Appleby/Lindsay may have a rematch or be mandated to face somebody else.

Looking good at 126lbs over here now :good

 

they also got anotherbelt calkled the ebu-ee where you can fight a non europen afor it !very strange.

 

All in the name of ££££ I am sure.

 

her is a question ...if you held the :

EBU belt (like arthur did)
EBU-EU belt
EBU-EE belt

would you be the undisputed european champion

 

:think

Possibly, but until you also claim the intercontinental titles it'll always be questioned

 

but isint the inter continetal supposed to claim more than one continent?were as were only intrested in the european continent?
