    AFTER Johns beats morris he has been promised a shot at the european. they were trying to get it before the morris fight but morris and his team insisted they fight 1st which is fair enough so cant really see simpson-matthews getting it on again but could be an interesting fight between morris-matthews who do you think would win? I think morris would just have the edge would take it on a UD. the WBU would probarly be andys best bet for a belt if he loses to john as i cant see him wanting to fight Jackson Asiku for the commonwealth though it doesnt seem as if many people want to fight him.

    Morris Is similar to Foster and had a close one against Munroe who seems average to me but decently quick. Been a while since I saw the Munroe one though.

    I could see Derry out pointing Morris as long as he uses his height, reach and footwork like with Foster Jr.

    Derry-Foster was a massacre. Not physically, but Derry just tamed him all night.

    I want to see Morris beat Simpson then move on to Matthews. I'd like to see that bout.

    I saw rendall munroes last fight and he fought at super-feather i think but i think he is fighting marc callaghan next at super-bantam for the english title im sure. cant remember exactly but it was something like that anyway.

    would like to see morris-derry too but for the wbu ONLY as simpson will still be holding onto his lonsdale belt. dont worry after morris 1 more defence after morris and he will prob vacate it and leave for the rest to fight off for!

    Morris does step In an out good though with combos or a jab like with Simpson 2.

    The commentators reckin Munroe Is going to Super Bantam.

    Morris is already the superior fighter. He has won one bout clearly and won every round of the second bout before an injury stopped it. Credit to Simpson for landing a punch to bring about the stoppage but Morris is the more skilled operator. Simpson has to win via intangiables.

    Simpson has fought Morris twice so he may be totally different, better prepared, more experienced, better game plan etc but Morris is undoubtedly the superior fighter even if they are 1-1 on paper.

    They've fought 16 rounds, Morris has lost 2.

    cant argue with any of that yeah morris has been the better fighter and is the superior fighter but doesnt always mean he will win. I dont know if any of yous have seen the video of the simpson-barrett fight? john looked so much sharper than ive ever seen him and hes flying in the gym ive noticed such a difference in him since both the derry fight and even more so since the barrett fight. I know i may be a bit biased but i reckon john has a really good chance with this fight.

    I haven't seen Simpson-Barrett. Simpson does have a chance.

    right so you actually credit simpson for something then? and wat fight were you watching when you seen morris lost 2 rounds? i had it morris won one round in the second fight n lost fair n square. this rubbish he was winning is laughable. He fought simpson 1st time n beat him nicely. He must have thought well that was easy al just prance around the ring n he wont hurt me n got a hell of a shock didnt he?? Simpson well showed his true style when he out boxed him with body shots which were tiring him out n the winning punch which secured "his title". After a shocking decision from the dazzo williams fight n then the derry matthews why dont you english actually see through this whole english vs scottish pride n see a boxer for what they can really do. Just accept he won the title fair and square and stop making excuses. and for those who say he didnt get a shock tell me why andy was sittin bubbling after the 2nd flight like abig girl?? sittin at ringside i wasnt clearly inpressed by the such macho boxer hes spose to be.

    I do hold my hand up and say andys a great boxer but think the 2nd fight was only the start of johns brillaint performances and the 3rd one will be a shock to all of ur systems.

    roll on september 7th will be sitin ringside and joinin john in the celebrations after.

    Lets hope andy brings hankies this time.:| :|

    Hopefully they will be on at different times but i think the witter fight will be pretty predictable with witter taking it by UD. alot more history between morris-simpson bit of a grudge match and alot of points to prove. should be a ******* with either late stoppage win for simpson or by UD.
