"John Simpson retained his British featherweight title when he knocked out Manchester's Andy Morris after fifty-three seconds of the seventh round at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London's Park Lane. Simpson from Greenock in Scotland, was too strong for the former champion as he built up a big lead before a salvo of heads shots led referee Marcus McDonnell to jump into stop the contest, with Morris in no condition to defend himself as he slumped to the canvas." :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :happy
I'd like to see this fight because Simpson didn't display the talent or tools in their fights, to win this third meeting.
It wasn't one sided but Simpson always had the upper hand, Morris came back into it around the 5/6th but that must have been his last big effort.
:happy :happy :happy Im well ****in happy for John, & yer good self Vic! We did try to tell the doubters that John was hurting Morris to the body in the second fight before Morris was stopped on a cut, but our advice fell on deaf ears... Ach, that was a special performnce by Simpson, he was simply brilliant. I was well worried for Andy Morris though when he went down at the end, that stopped my celebrations in their tracks, cos I was worried that he was badly hurt & **** myself a bit. However, glad to see Morris was OK in the end, & Im a happy chappie! Im totally buzzing, what a great night for scottish boxing. Was great to hear Alex Arthur as co-commentator too, he was flawless. I used to have my problems with Arthur in the past cos he beat 3 of my favourite glasgow lads, Limond Docherty & Burns, but Im starting to adore him like I did Scotty now, as hes such a patriotic scotsman, as he proved tonight. I hope AAA becomes regular fixture on Setanta, cos hes an intelligent well spoken lad. Im going to get nasty about a certain writer who was slagging Victor Hugo & I off from the safety of another forum & in his column for us daring to argue with him about the outcome of this fight(you know who you are), When will these so called writers ever learn that british ESB is a bearpit, & if you arent up to standard you will be torn apart. Like he just has been. But thats for another day. Tonight Im too happy to be sticking the boot in, Im drunk & happy is what Im gonna stay Well done John Simpson, if anyone deserves a fantastic win like this, its him cos hes always had to do it the hard way.
john was always going to speak well about andy he aint cocky n a show off. andys mouth was way far too big for him and he got it shut up lastnight! soo proud of john n proves to everyone who is the better fighter!
Great performance by Simpson. Hope a rematch with Matthews happens - I would love Simpson to win that one after all the controversy surrounding the original fight.
