Paul Appleby v Martin Lindsay thread

[alba]

Thought id start a thread in the run up to the fight.

the undercard is pretty pish by hayemaker stadards!no many local lads on the bill ,and how can rhodes be fighting ?

anyway i think the fight will only be one on which fighter underestimates the other.looking at the two of them appleby has more experiences of 12 rounders,and has fought more of a higher quality...but since he has steppud he has not ko'd anyone and in his last fight he was showing that his stamina was lacking,but he did show an improved defence,but he will need to have improved them or Lindsay will get through with some leather to the face!

As for lindsay ,from waht ive seen and read his biggest win to date is over Derry matthews but he was losing on the scorecards up to that point.
and matthews lost his previous fight to choi (but that is nothing bad as he is the toughest hitter in divsion according to few) and has lost again since facing Martin

Lindsay has a tighter defence than appleby and better footwork (which is always underestimated) and that will certainly come into play on the night .

a tight fight,but if goes over 9 rounds i think appleby will have it in the bag

[LHL]

The footwork for Lindsay's ko over Matthew's was great.

[fra]

lindsay will win this fight...appleby done fuck all to impress me...his 2 best wins were against an ordinary simspon and a past it pickering:good

Thats a good call tbh and in the Simpson fight both were what i would call untidy. Appleby still looked one dimensional regarding his style. As he has said himself and others have, he is learning not to just plough forward.

Thus said, i think we will see a very refreshed Appleby loving the atmosphere and thriving on it.

Love it when a fighter goes "abroad" for a fight.

On paper, yep i am taking Appleby, in theory too and i know nothing of Lindsay apart from the Derry Banjo so it would be ignorant to profess a stoppage/loss etc.......


Ok fuckit..........................Paul within 10, no Paul UD, no Paul to spark him early :thumbsup :happy :bbb :yep

who the fuck is derry mathews ????

wee simpson beat his ass good and proper...........appleby TKO 7 :bbb

[LHL]

Really we all know about Appleby we have seen enough of his fights to judge him.

Lindsay is a different story. We have seen 1 fight and from what i have heard that was one of Lindsays worst performances besides the Ko which was great.

I find it very hard to judge this fight but am leaning towards appleby but obviously want Martin to win

[HairyHighlander]

HAHAHAHA cheers

Aye i know what i expect and want, pretty sure we on the same lines, jus giving the boy his dues :good

Regarding Simpson V Derry..........i said a few times it was probs ma closest i been to not liking a fighter ( Derry ) and canna blame him when the judges r on the cock

Lindsay has been on UK tv 3 times, against Matthews, Marc Callaghan and Chris Hooper.

He was also on tv in Canada in all of his 3 fights there I believe.
The fight with Callaghan was the main undercard fight on Sky, on the Colin Lynes v Gianluca Branco card from Italy.
The Hooper fight was shown on the undercard of Damaen Kelly v Simeone Maludrottu I on Sky.

So although he may not be high profile there is footage out there of him and I'd say quite a few people have seen him more than once. Although the Matthews fight is possibly the only fight of great relevance as it's the only time Lindsay has really been tested in his career. But you could say that about Appleby in that's had only one fight where he's really been tested and one other decent fight(Pickering), so they're not really that different in that respect.

[LHL]

Sorry mate i thought most his fights were on heard of. I have been looking for footage of him but all i get is the matthews fight.

Clearly didn't do the research here :patsch :lol:

[underdogg2]

Lindsay ko for me appleby has no defence .

This is the one post I will be bringing back up with a chuckle on my big scottish chops when chuckles nails his man.

& it aint no bravado, Appleby is being underrated so much on ESB its crazy.
Why? Cos irish boxing is on the up!!!

Crazy stuff, everyone is gettin swept away in a tide of optimism cos Irish boxing is doing well. Its as simple as that, paul Applebey is going to win. The kid is too good for Martin. Wait & see!

[Grievesy]

I think Appleby takes this but I'm going to say UD. I'll be honest I haven't seen much of Lindsay apart from the KO over Matthews. While that was a great KO it's not exactly a great win, really. Meanwhile I have seen Appleby fight, and I have been impressed. I purely going on his advantages in experience, going the distance etc. Which is probably not a great idea but meh..

Trust me, its a great idea to pick Appleby to win. The irish are just getting carried away cos they are doing so well just now, & are forgetting just what their boy is up against here.

Come on Dunks...there is so much smoke being blown up Applebys arse on this board its unbelieveable. I don't see in Appleby what others obviously do. I think that he is one dimensional, he appears to have a modicum of power but loses the plot when he can't put it to decent effect and he in turn is put under pressure. Maybe he would be a better all around fighter if he just relaxed and went about his work in a calmer manner without constantly thinking KO, he has got to realise that he is not going to starch or stop every fighter he faces.

I honestly think that Lindsay takes this UD.

In fairness to Appleby,if you look at te interview at the end of the pickering fight...he reels of what was wrong with his performance,and is quite comprehensive ,so he knows what needs to be done to win .

Dunky,the irish guys are going to get behind there fighters are we are goign to get behind ours,i dont thinnk you should play it down so much

[underdogg2]

Trust me, its a great idea to pick Appleby to win. The irish are just getting carried away cos they are doing so well just now, & are forgetting just what their boy is up against here.
we will see on saturday dunky who is laughing . i no lindsay has 2 much for appleby and if u watch the mathews fight lindsay was not really behind and the commentators just give him no credit at all . lindsay was a top amature and appleby won nothing really so we will just see on saturday.

was behind on the scorecards,

[kerrminator]

Appleby is improving with every fight and as I said on Bunces show he will have too much for Lindsay. Matthews was comfortably out boxing Martin and theres no way one of those lunging hooks is gonna catch Paul out.

slip and counter all night long :good

[irishhitman]

we have good cause to pick lindsay...not simply because hes irish but because he is the better fighter...you dont seem the the brightest so i will explain something here...promoters dont make vast investments [which is what hayemaker have did with lindsay]in fighters they think will lose conclusively to someone like appleby...im sorry to burst your bubble here pal but you have been listening too much to the sky pundits bumming and blowing about how good appleby is, which is not the case....but your gonna find this out on saturday night for yourself...lindsay by late stoppage

[billy nelson]

appleby is good although i thought simpson should have got the nod over him

[victorhugo4222]

appleby is good although i thought simpson should have got the nod over him

Yeah i think so too if it wasnt for the knockdown/slip John would have got the decision.

Appleby UD for me.

but your not biased are you ?:blurp

[robpalmer135]

im going for Lindsay

[victorhugo4222]

but your not biased are you ?:blurp

Yes i am biased but look at the facts John lost 114-115 114-115 113-115. if the knockdown was scored as a slip and even john loses the round thats a 9-10 not a 8-10 he gets a draw and keeps his title if he wins the round he wins the fight. its not rocket science

[alba]

Yes i am biased

thanks for c;arfiying that ... :good

[victorhugo4222]

thanks for c;arfiying that ... :good

As you can see my decision had nothing to do with being biased was clearly facts. Though you seem tobe the biased 1 who cant deal with that.

If John gets the rematch that he deserves then he will not only beat appleby he would stop him. John had an off night and still came so close to winning.

I been through this tired old routine before, big mouthed noobs telling me this & that, & when Im proven correct they disappear.
So I wont hold my breath when I dont see you again when im chuckling, as usual.

It was nice knowing you though. Shut the door behind you on your way out noob.

[Dunky McCafferty]

you dont seem the the brightest

Whatever, you stuttering prick:lol:

I would say quite the opposite in fact Icey, its Lindsay who is being turned into a monster by his fans, even the boy himself knows how good young apps is. You wont find him making brash predictions, cos he knows hes got to fight this tough kid from Scotland.

Everyone is entitld to an opinion, but please, listen to me here! Cos Im usually right.
The irishman only wins if its a dodgy decision. THATS how confident I am!!!

i look forward ot he rematch ,given his performace in his last fight simspon shows he still has it ,and he has been robbed a few times aswell .when is he fighting Bell ,

also i would love to intewrview john ,but he seems a hard character to get hold off :good

[dwilson]

This should be a good fight. Not sure who I pick to win but Appleby has been the more impressive fighter by a distance.

Yeah hes been robbed a few times but he always bounces back. the bellfight will be on the khan undercard at bolton arena 27th June im sure.

I dont see bell causing him too many problems tbh but can never take anything for granted. John knows he has to not only win but put on a performance to try get the rematch he so dearly wants. If John loses now it looks very bleak for him in terms of rankings and title fights so he knows what hes got to do.

Lindsay SD

also i would love to intewrview john ,but he seems a hard character to get hold off :good

There is more chance of getting hold of osama bin laden than John!!! hes recently started coming onto ESB hes not been posting just reading some of the comments made. jis sister also posts under the name of muay thai chick you could maybe contact him throught her. I dont really see alot of him anymore to be honest.

[moorser]

lyndsay by ko . too strong and the better amateur experiance will tell in the end

[victorhugo4222]

Appleby will beat Lindsay, Martin is a good fighter but was getting well beaten by Derry until he found the right punch. Appleby has a better chin, for sure. Great fight though

dont you think im aware of that ?hence whyim asking ...

[boxgirl]

just been on a couple of other pages and came across a story that the winner of the fight on saturday will be gettin offered a world title shot ??
If appleby takes a world title shot or even a european shot while he is with his current manager then he has taken far to many punches to the head .

[marty]

Lindsay will win this one on points. Appleby lacks the class of Martin:deal

[robster]

What's gilmour done to piss you off? You really dont like him do you

[alba]

and martin lacks the experince,power and work rate of Appleby

[9Ball]

I am neither Scottish nor Irish so I am talking from a neutral perspective here. Appleby wins on points every time imho. Classy fighter who picks his shots very well. Lindsay will be in for a hard night.

[moorser]

and martin lacks the experince,power and work rate of Appleby


experience ? , power ? , work rate probably but come on lyndsay beats appelby easily on experince and dont late martins ko record fool you he is a lot stronger then you think , the reason is because he was fighting tough durable mexicans over in canada while appelby has been fighting bums in engerland

[boxgirl]

What's gilmour done to piss you off? You really dont like him do you
is tht who his manager is ?? he not done nothin , jst stuff have read n tht personally nothing at all , is he a good manager ??

[robster]

is tht who his manager is ??


You've mentioned Gilmour several times in previous Appleby posts so you must know who he is :nono




is he a good manager ??

Can't answer that, only his boxers can. He has got a pretty big stable and he's been around for years so he must be doing something right. I have heard that he's as tight as a ducks arse, though!

[kerrminator]

gilmour is a good domestic level manager who will put his fighters through their paces and bring them through the ranks against tough opposition but I think he struggles to give them that boost needed to get to the world stage. Perhaps lack of funds?

If at lack of funds kerrminator my good man, then thats probably down to Tommy himself being a tightwad:deal

Honestly, some of the decent scottish members who post here have some horror stories to tell about Gilmour & his infamous tightwad, be careful when listening to TG, cos hes all about making himself out to be the hero all the time, when hes fleecing his fighters.
Dont know if all I have heard is true, but its solid stories from trusted members in here, & why should they lie?

[kerrminator]

Cheers for the info Dunky ;)

I just kinda based my post on what i'd seen over the years. There has been many a good fighter ready to move up a level yet he keeps them at the same stage until they go stale (if you know what i mean lol )

Listen, up until recently I saw TG s a good rep for scottish boxing. Then some scottish fight fans that I trust dropped me a line, & thats why I dont trust a word tht comes out of his mouth now.
Hopefully if they can be bothered, the guys I am taking about will get in touch, to tell you what they told me! Its no top secret stuff or anything, but we all know that ripping a promoter apart in public aint a good idea, cos I would love to talk about it some more in this thread:D

You & me are long term buddies though, so I wouldnt bullshit. You know that.
Hopefully Scotty comes back one last time & we can get some closure on the man who broke our collective hearts...

[Dunky McCafferty]

we will see on saturday dunky please believe me appleby is losing this fight .

OK noob, heres the deal.

If Applebey loses this fight? I will stop posting here for good. THATS how sure I am chuckles wins this one.

No bullshitting, people have been wanting me away from here for years, but this fight has tipped me over the edge. So many people thinking the irishman wins this one, I have to take it one stage further & say that if Lindsey wins, I will retire from Brit ESB.

I been here for five years now, so it doesnt get anymore serious than this. It aint no cop-out, cos if my man loses I will return for 5 posts, take my punishment like a real man, give my take on the fight & will walk away. Fuck it.
THATS how confident I am of the scotsman winning, just incase anyone here thought it was mere bravado. Its time to put necks on the line.

FIVE YEARS here. If Applebey loses, I come in for five posts maximum just to say how I sawa the fight & to let the victors kick me when Im down, then Im off.
& if I dont go away as promised? just tell the mods & they have my blessing to ban my ass for good. After all, a bet is a bet. Not that I will be back anyway, but a bet is a bet at the end of the day.

Not that Im going anywhere of course:smoke

Only way I dont leave though if Appleby loses is if the fight ends prematurely on a cut that was unintentional. Thats never a satisfactory ending to a fight.

In my experience of boxing cards in the UK the 1st undercard fighters usually kick off at around 17.30 - 18.00

[TK Terrible]

Com' on Paul!

[alba]

~Paul looks like his is in the shape of his life,hes been training hard,and the effects are shown .

looking at lindsay he looks good but does he seem a wee bit dark under the eyes?maybe im looking too much but he dosent look vibrant,but im no expert in boxers health

also looking at the betting there are some good oddsdoing the round betting ,with the last four rounds for appleby to win by ko ranginf from 50/1 -66/1 .which given the way this fight could pan out that isnae too bad ...

cmon Paul!

but seriouls y,all things aside its great to see young fighters putting there undefeated records on the line!plaudits to both !

[AffectedToaster]

i think lindsey will win, he's seems like a great prospect from what i've seen, who may go on to bigger and greater things

[AffectedToaster]

cmon Paul!

but seriouls y,all things aside its great to see young fighters putting there undefeated records on the line!plaudits to both !
i agree with u, he's a guy who has know fear and wants to reach the top as quickly as possible but i think Lindsay maybe to soon.

[Mandanda]

i had a feeling lindsey would do job and i gt a feeling he will stop appleby by 7th round if appleby doesn't get in the fight he's falling short and following in straight lines. lindsey gotta keep countering and leading traps.

[lucatoni08]

lads can someone update me on whats going on in the fight?

[faisal]

appleby was robbed

[jimmmycox]

bye dunky

[Mandanda]

appleby stopped in 6th tko

[jimmmycox]

robbed you having a laugh
it was inevitable he was taking far too many shots

[MrMagic]

Having this thread in the General aswell.

It deserves some international attention.
Lindsay was brilliant I think:hey

[Mandanda]

i knew from early rounds that he would lose by stoppage he couldn't handle occassion at all and skills pay bills and lindsey is more skillful fighter.

[safe_pa]

Nobbins :happy

[BigEars]

appleby was robbed

Maybe the stoppage came slightly early, but robbed ????

Lindsay had him and would of finished him(for a 10 count) if given the chance.

Lindsay beats Appleby...what a shock :-(

[faisal]

Maybe the stoppage came slightly early, but robbed ????

Lindsay had him and would of finished him(for a 10 count) if given the chance.
the ref should have waited till he staggered to the canvas it was a little early

[Smoggie]

I don't give a flying f@@k what anyone says,hats off to Paul Appleby,a true Scottish braveheart warrior,still on his feet at the end,congratulations to Martin Lindsay,he did i must add,look a little too fast for Paul,i wanted Paul to win because of the crowd booing him{out of order} but Martin looked fast and sharp and exposed Paul a bit,Paul will comeback and be a handful for ANY fighter,i was impressed with his grit and determination.

[MrMagic]

i knew from early rounds that he would lose by stoppage he couldn't handle occassion at all and skills pay bills and lindsey is more skillful fighter.
Agreed.
I saw it in round 1, Appelby was walking in to them shots like Margarito was walking on to Mosleys shots.

He would not have survived the last seconds I think not, if he did it was over in the next round, clearly.

[faisal]

i'm gland the irishman won

[lucatoni08]

good win for lindsay then?? The Appleby lad is still very young, plenty of time to make it to the top I guess

[GazOC]

Buncey off on one of his rants!!!!

this dr pepper ad is my new fave!

[Bomber_uk]

OK noob, heres the deal.

If Applebey loses this fight? I will stop posting here for good. THATS how sure I am chuckles wins this one.

No bullshitting, people have been wanting me away from here for years, but this fight has tipped me over the edge. So many people thinking the irishman wins this one, I have to take it one stage further & say that if Lindsey wins, I will retire from Brit ESB.

I been here for five years now, so it doesnt get anymore serious than this. It aint no cop-out, cos if my man loses I will return for 5 posts, take my punishment like a real man, give my take on the fight & will walk away. Fuck it.
THATS how confident I am of the scotsman winning, just incase anyone here thought it was mere bravado. Its time to put necks on the line.

FIVE YEARS here. If Applebey loses, I come in for five posts maximum just to say how I sawa the fight & to let the victors kick me when Im down, then Im off.
& if I dont go away as promised? just tell the mods & they have my blessing to ban my ass for good. After all, a bet is a bet. Not that I will be back anyway, but a bet is a bet at the end of the day.

Not that Im going anywhere of course:smoke

Only way I dont leave though if Appleby loses is if the fight ends prematurely on a cut that was unintentional. Thats never a satisfactory ending to a fight.

Hey Dunky

Your boy may have lost tonight but I really respect you putting your balls on the line with your prediction and the penalty you'd pay if Paul lost. He may have lost decisively but I'm sure no-one here would want you to leave the forum when you've shown such passion!

If its any consolation Appleby took part in what I think is one of the best and most engrossing British fights I've seen for ages!!

All the best mate

Chris

PS Come on FROCH!!!

[pathmanc1986]

well dunky mc cafferty, fuck off!

[BigEars]

well dunky mc cafferty, fuck off!

Bit harsh mate, he's been posting on these forums for a long time and was probably swayed by bias in his loyalty to Appleby.

It did seem a 50/50 bout(of course the bookies had Appleby as favourite) but being the strong Scottish supporter Dunky is he obviously saw this as a certainty........which it wasn't.

I don't mind if he stays on, but if he does he should probably be a little less definitive in his predictions.

[LHL]

Never had anything against dunky and don't know why people are telling him to F*** off tbh

[kosaros]

Well it is mostly people who have less than 300 posts.

[LHL]

come on dunk!
youve had plenty of time to dry your eyes!
where are you?

not coming back :patsch

[Kid Lucky]

Really great timing as my Sky + box died this morning so not Setanta or Sky or ESPN or anything. Or even fucking ITV4 until Monday earliest so best I'll get is Froch on 5 live and wait for the inevitable repeats on Setanta of Lindsay v Appleby.

Was really looking forward to these fights as well.

[LHL]

Unlucky mate bad week for it. Could be worse could be next weekend :lol:

[LHL]

I find these leaving things stupid an avatar bet would have been alright

come on dunky!!
be a man!!!
dont embarass your country!!
wheres the braveheart spirit??? LMFAO!!!!!!!!
5 posts!! remember!!!! lol

Yeah yeah, I remember noob, or as you won the bet, I will call you by your name, the jollystomper.

Well what can I say? Appleby lost, I lost the bet(to a fuckin noob:|) & heres where its at. I promised to come back for 5 posts & 'take it like a man' as they say, & I am a man of my word. Absolute cunt of a weekend for me as a scottish boxing fan, scotty is pretty much been retired after he got jailed, & now chuckles has lost to the irishman. & as I am an honourable man & always keep to a bet, my big mouth has finally came back to haunt me, Im in a state of shock to be honest.

But hey, I wouldnt be me without a rant(I was ranting here long before Buncey ranted on Setanta, I believe he stole that trademark from me, but he'll never rant as good as I did.

Firstly, I underestimated that fuckin bearpit they fought in. Cos thats what it was, a modern day bearpit. It got to Appleby I believe, cos at the end of the day hes still just a kid. The bad atmosphere was a bit over the top though, what the fuck had Applebey ever done to anyone in Belfast to be verbally attacked before during & after the fight so ferociously? It was indeed a bearpit. Its nothing to be proud of IMO, cos at the end of the day every fighter should be shown some respect, when the event is over. Applebey wasnt given any respect even after his defeat, & that saddened me. Fans laughing at him when the MC had announced Appleby was deemed in no fit state to continue cos of THAT ref?
The fans should hve done the decent thing & given the kid his respect. They didnt though, & that hurt me as the irish fans have the reputation as the best & most knowledgable fans in europe, they lacked a bit of class tonight IMO. Sour grapes? Not at all. Just dont goad a man after hes been beat, especially as Appleby is no Gomez, he was a respectful opponent.

& the referee, where do I start with that cunt??? The minute I heard it was Howard Foster, I recoiled in hooror. Why you may ask? Cos he was the unfair SOB that was picking on Ricky Burns the whole night when he beat Gomez. The stoppage IMO was a joke, Appleby was hurt & struggling, but there was only 20 odd seconds to go in the round & chuckles had grabbed his man, but the ref couldnt get in there quick enough to stop it.
It was a huge fight, & to stop it just cos Appleby got wobbled & was on shaky legs?:-(
Shameful reffing. SHAMEFUL. This was a huge fight for both men. For a fight of this importance, it was stopped too early. If Appleby had went down, taken a count & saw the bell, then its game on, as the fight is still in in the relative early stages. Its when a fighter looks down & out, thats when you find out if they have a true champions heart, if thay can come back & snatch the victory. & Appleby wasnt even down!!!:twisted:

Onto the fight itself, & my worst worries came back to haunt me. let me explain...
Appleby set such a furious pace, & his chopping bodyshots were killing Lyndsey IMO. However, Appleby was fighting like a madman, putting everything into every shot cos the crowd were getting to him. Thats where the corner comes in, they should have been telling Appleby to calm down a bit, take a breather.
Not so though, McGuire snr & co were screaming for Appleby to keep ploughing forward even when it was obvious that he was tiring as he had set a ridiculous pace, but it seemed that his stupid triner was caught up in the din more than Applebey himself was, & IMO his tactics led to the defeat.
I whinged just a few days ago that Applebeys trainer worried me, cos the guy is basically hopeless & sadly he didnt half prove me right. he should have been the calming influence for a kid in that kind of atmosphere, instaed he urged him on from the corner instaed of using his fuckin brain & telling Appleby to take his foot of the gas & regin his composure.

If Billy Nelson doesnt get his hands on Paul appleby soon, I fear he wont realize his potential. Im sending out an SOS to team Appleby right now to get their boy as far away as possible from McGuire snr, he hasnt got what it takes to train a guy like Paul Appleby.
Well done to Lyndsey I suppose, but Paul Appleby at this stage in his career shouldnt have been thrown into a place like that to fight at such an early stage in his developement.
Shame on Tommy Gilmour for taking Hayemakers cash & throwing a young champion like Paul into the lions den like that, SHAME ON HIM.

Bad management from Gilmour, & poor training & tactics from McGuire nsn left the boy in a hopeless situation. Not to mention a ref dodgier than Dave Parris to put the icing on the cake...

Oh & in case people think Im not keeping true to the bet, I said I would use 5 posts to come back, take it on the chin & vent my feelings if it all went wrong, which sadly for me... it did

4 posts to go.

[LHL]

Fair play dunky man to your word :good

Your boy put up a good fight

[Dunky McCafferty]

Chris

PS Come on FROCH!!!

Thanks chris, but I got involved in a bit of manly puffed chest shit, & when you fuck up you have to pay the price. It was a great fight while it lasted, but Tommy Gilmour left his young prospect out to dry, just so he could make a fast buck. Its that that hurts me more, the fact Gilmour put a kid in that position, to fight in a hostile arena like that. Im raging about it. I thought that the irish posters here were overdoing how hostile a place it was, I was wrong. Gilmour knew though, & still sent in Appleby anyway just cos David Haye threw cash at him. Gilmour isnt stupid, he knows you dont get money for nothing...
Im angry, at them throwing Appleby into that place, more than anything. Thats whats irking me right now.

& dont speak for the majority of posters here, most want to see the back of me:lol:
& they got their wish. But thanks again for the kind words Scala, it means a lot to me.

3 posts left! I shouldnt need to use em all though. I fuckin hate long goodbyes.

[Dunky McCafferty]

Fair play dunky man to your word :good

Your boy put up a good fight

he ceratinly did LHL, & all the best to Martin, he admitted himself that Appleby had him a couple of times, but the home advantage pulled him through IMO. The fans didnt only get into Applebys head, but they got into his trainers head also, thats why he was shouting at Appleby to push on, when a few calming words would have made all the difference...

Anyway, do I have two or one posts left? I have had a few beers today, found myself in a weird situation being a Birmingham supporter cos I want to see Faddy back in the Premiership, cos it will help Scotland I believe. Then watched the Appleby fight, stayed up to hear Froch snatch from the jaws of defeat, & thought "if it wasnt for that cunt of a ref, Applebey could still have won"

aah, ifs & buts, eh?

two posts left, I just counted

[zico2010]

Dunky, dont be daft. Or be daft, and just come back with a new name :D

[Dunky McCafferty]

Dunky, dont be daft. Or be daft, and just come back with a new name :D

:lol:

I aint being daft Zico, I lost a bet I was sure I would win, & just imagine the grief I would have given the jollyboy if I won!

Fuck, 1 post left

[fra]

when appleby makes his charges 4ward...lindsay will b countering all night long...appleby big clumsy attacks wont make any impressions on the fleet footed macman...martin will win this big:good

was i right or was i right

This is the one post I will be bringing back up with a chuckle on my big scottish chops when chuckles nails his man.

& it aint no bravado, Appleby is being underrated so much on ESB its crazy.
Why? Cos irish boxing is on the up!!!

Crazy stuff, everyone is gettin swept away in a tide of optimism cos Irish boxing is doing well. Its as simple as that, paul Applebey is going to win. The kid is too good for Martin. Wait & see!

dunky ur looking like 1 stupid cock now :yep:good

[moorser]

i didnt feel there was anything wrong with the stoppage..aplleby coundt defend himself properly ....it would of ended in a bad k.o in my opinion

[D-MAC]

i didnt feel there was anything wrong with the stoppage..aplleby coundt defend himself properly ....it would of ended in a bad k.o in my opinion

I agree.

A kd should have been called earlier when Appleby grabbed Lindsay's legs to stay up.

At the finish Lindsay hit him with a flush hook, Appleby's legs went, and then Lindsay stepped off for a second, leaving an opening for the ref to jump in. The stoppage was fine; Appleby was fucked.

[rothwell]

I disagree with the stopage.

No doubt Appleby was hurt and struggling, but he hadn't gone down and it wasn't like Lindsay had landed 6/7 consecutive unanswered shots.

Ref could have given him a standing 8 count? If he was struggling after that I would have had no problem.

[LHL]

The ref was looking to stop it when Appleby was on the ropes and taking a fair bit of leather. It looked as if he was on his way down but managed to hold on to Lindsay. At first viewing i thought it was early but having watched the fight again i think it was a justified stoppage he was out on his fight and was taking too many flush shots

You and alba are my two favourite Jocko McWhiskeyswillers on here and I enjoy yer posts.

A Lindsay avatar for the rest of the year will suffice. Anyone agree?

cop on man!

paul will be back !!!! well done lindsay !!!

[victorhugo4222]

Whos next now for lyndsay?

Whos next now for lyndsay?


I'd like to see a rematch in Scotland. I think the hostile crowd played a big part. Shame on Gilmour imo.

Well he could have done if he was just making up his own rules...

[ICTChris]

Shame for Appleby. He's young enough to come back from this. Lindsay just jumped on him and was landing the better punches throughout. I don't think either man looked top class (a lot of messy work) but Lindsay at least landed combinations, whereas Appleby wasn't quick enough to get off and when he did it was single shots or 1-2s.

Looking at the stoppage, I suppose you could have given him a few more seconds but Appleby was pretty much gone. Being with Gilmour I'd imagine he'll go down the Commonwealth route now.

[BigEars]

I'd like to see a rematch in Scotland. I think the hostile crowd played a big part. Shame on Gilmour imo.

No chance Gilmour would pay the cash needed to get a rematch in Scotland.

Not sure what Hayemaker will do with Lindsay now, but IBF, European and Commonwealth doors are all open.

[victorhugo4222]

I'd like to see a rematch in Scotland. I think the hostile crowd played a big part. Shame on Gilmour imo.

Gilmour would neverpay the money that was on offer. from what i heard the money appleby got was 3 times more than has ever been paid to a fighter for a british title fight. Dont know if its actually accurate but you cant blame anyone for taking that sort of money on offer.

[apps1]

[victorhugo4222]

it is far from accurate !!!

Well i hope he got a good payday and im sure he would have.

So whats next for paul now apps? how do you know paul anyway you family or friend or that?

[finzwinz]

Hope Paul takes time to assess the situation and realises that he is in a fabulous position career wise! Okay, he lost his last fight, and didn't look anywhere near as good as he can, has and will again. He is only 21, and has been British Champ. He lost it to a very good fighter, who was better on the night - that is all!

Most boxers are only starting out at his age, so to achieve what he has by this age is really fantastic, and definately an achievement to be proud of! It looks like he may have been overmatched too early, and perhaps would have been better having a few 'learning' tough fights before heading to Ireland to the bear pit!

With some good coaching, realising where he went wrong and hard working, Paul will be back a far more accomplished boxer! He still has the potential to go down as a Scottish great! I look forward to seeing Paul lift his 1st world title belt. The road to greatness starts now!

Pass on our regards to Paul, and tell him it isn't the end of the world please Apps1.

Cheers

Finz

[apps1]
