He got lucky ;-)

[almsn]

He got lucky ;-)

Good performance .Looking solid .I was checking Simpson's boxrec .The commentry trying to say he's not a big puncher lol .Towards the second half his career that's where most his stoppages are so he looks as if he's getting solider with experience.He bust Truscott and Bell up .Lindsay's is mixed with that quality ko to Mattews Simpson's got 1 to Morris 1 to Barrett .Well it says Morris was a tko but he was well out.

[servo]

Nice one for that mate!

[brown bomber]

John Simpson, got to be one of the top UK fighters this year.

John Simpson, got to be one of the top UK fighters this year.

Seconded :good

[phonk]

Any word on who he's fighting next?

Quite fancy going to see him if he's fighting in the Greenock, Glasgow area.

[Body Snatcher]

Wont it be Lindsay next year at a guess?

[brown bomber]

Got to be Lindsey now... it makes great sense. I think he can move to Euro class.

[Robert]

how the commentor saying simpson was no hamed ect, he was a total knob and was really annoying me

[icemax]

how the commentor saying simpson was no hamed ect, he was a total knob and was really annoying me

He isn't really, but thats not the point, not many fighters are like Hamed and Simpson is who he is. I think the annoying cunt your refer to is Colin "Clueless" Hart

Changing the subject slightly but I thought that the sparkly shirt suited Billy Nelson, he looked like he was ready to step up to the oche...game on, Billy to throw first :deal

[BoroBoxing1]

Should fight Lindsay or fight for the European title, He was suppost to be stepping up after Truscott still havnt seen the step up yet, I think Lindsay will just outbox him for most of the fight winning a point decision, The way to beat Simpson is you need the power to stop him in his tracks and Lindsay has that.

[BoroBoxing1]

How do you think Simspon would get on with Choi ?

Fair play, I thought Bell would have been a little more competitive. Just shows how good Paul is really.... needs a nice soft route back. He needs to forget he was ever champion.

[Beeston Brawler]

I wouldn't bother with the Lindsay fight if I were Simpson..... if a European shot can be made, do that instead.

[Dan684]

Bell's better than Truscott. Just didn't have the power to compete with Simpson really. He could handle Truscotts slaps and is a better boxer too !

Truscott would win, has more heart :deal

[Dan684]

Hatton has more heart than Mayweather ???

Heart gets you hurt in the ring if you dont have the skills to back it up. It amazing the criticism Bell has gotten since the fight. He would have carried on, it was Farnell who pulled him out (And rightly so i agree). He was still throwing punches even when he was stuck in the corner.

He was still throwing punches even when he was stuck in the corner.He'd just had his best moments, think that might have been a last ditch attempt to turn things round after Simpson giving his all in the previous round. Great corner work from Arnie there. Bell was, and always will be, a class act for me. Watched him alll the way through my youth.

Let me rephrase, more heart among other things - true he was fighting back, but he could have tried so much more in the fight earlier on, I mean the fight was practically gone after 4 rounds for him, but you never seen him just go for it, which Truscott did when he was clearly losing to Simpson, and we all know Simpson has an incredible chin and Truscott has feather fists like Bell (probably even worse) - but he still went for it.

I don't want to be too harsh on Bell, but he just didn't look like he had it against Simpson - maybe the weight and age played a part in it.

Thats a first Truscott slaps, Bell was far to easy to hit, Paul will stand him on his head...... Any views on Simpson vs Choi then ?

[Dan684]

Boro - Paul will stand nobody on there head. He couldn't punch his way out of wet paper bag. The only reason the Simpson fight was barely competetive was because of the punishment Truscott was allowing himself to take. Bell wouldn't recieve the same amount of punishment from Truscotts punches and is a better boxer.

Simpson vs Choi would be very exciting however i'd probably say Simpson in a hard fought points win. Choi just isn't active enough and Simmo can be a very could boxer at times too. Not just a puncher

First of all ask John Simpson if Paul Truscott can hit hard, Secondly i didnt say Paul would knock Bell out but he would win every round in the fight, far to easy to hit and he carries his hands round his chest... He should stick to acting.

[Dan684]

Hmmmm ????

'Stand Bell on his head' presumably means a wide UD now does it ? No chance he would win every round against Bell. Absolutely NO chance.

Paul Truscott beats Steven Bell any day of the week thats all i am saying.

Whatever way he does it nobody cares but Trussy wins :happy

Bloody Hell, I was expecting you to have reverted to a 'split Decision' win then.

Bell would win Monday through to Sunday so what days of the week does it leave for a truscott win ?

Hart is a real dickwad, during the Simpson - Bell fight he kept calling Arnie Farnell "Andy"

Okay you think Bell would beat Truscott i think Truscott beats Bell, But you think Simpson beats Choi and thats just daft really.

You mean the power your man truscott didnt have? and never will. Dont know what you got against john and you keep going on about him not moving up in class ive explained to you a thousand times now and it still doesnt seem to register!!

Got nothing against John think hes a terrific fighter and a nice lad went to see him after he beat our Paul after the fight and hes a nice lad, all i am saying is that Steven Bell isnt a step up from Truscott.

[Robert]

choi is an old man and the longer he is away from the ring the better he seems to get on this forum

[victorhugo4222]

Any word on who he's fighting next?

Quite fancy going to see him if he's fighting in the Greenock, Glasgow area.

He definately wants the winner of lindsay-arthur(lindsay late stoppage IMO) as he wants the lonsdale belt outright and only needs 1 more defence to do that. After that then the european

Nobody will fight the lad.

I know its not but as i explained to you john had no choice but to fight bell as he was ORDERED by the BBBC as he had signed to fight bell way back in march and FW had kept the contract and took it to the BBBC the day before the purse bids for the lindsay fight. he hadno idea about the bell fight till it was made. as you said he could have vacated but he still wouldnt have got a shot at lindsay until he fought bell so what was he meant to do? Also everyone needs to earn a living john has a family to support with another baby due very shortly so it was another payday for him before he gets a shot at lindsay. Hope this time you understand why he fought bell

[victorhugo4222]

Nobody will fight the lad.

Think choi comes in to 'the high risk low reward' catagory

[Dan684]

Bell was actually cotracted to fight Simpson before the Truscott rematch and was 'asked' to sidestep for the rematch to happen. Bell deserved his shot

[victorhugo4222]

And we all know what happened there!!

Billy N is in black :good

Gutted to see Benny King wasnt rocking the Kappa trackie :nut

[Harry Chibber]

With Simpson's record away from home do you think he actually wants to fight back in Scotland??

[icemax]

Billy N is in black :good



For some reason I thought that it was Billy with a shaved head, you must admit that they are of the same, errr, proportions :deal

[brown bomber]

Billy N is in black :good

Gutted to see Benny King wasnt rocking the Kappa trackie :nutIf that tracky turns up signed, in a frame at one of these auctions it will fetch £00,000's

[victorhugo4222]

he prefers being the away fighter seems to fight better too IMO

Ayes, am just gonna make do with the pic.

A fine time to resurrect this beauty :D

[billy nelson]

ICEMAN do you mean cuddly or a fat bastard?lol. i would like to see john go for the european title personally i dont think anyone will touch him in uk now including lindsay

[skel1983]

Bell is shit, Trucsott would beat him.

[Dan684]

Shut up ^

[victorhugo4222]

ICEMAN do you mean cuddly or a fat bastard?lol. i would like to see john go for the european title personally i dont think anyone will touch him in uk now including lindsay

Who do you reckon john will face next? i know he wants the british but with lindsay not fighting till feb you think john may make another defence of the commonwealth 1st? if so who would you like to see him fight?

[royalt0208]

He has to defend his Commonwealth title against one of the named contenders by 31st March or the title will be vacated. Most of the names are unrealistic or uninteresting but the one that interest me is a rematch with Paul Appleby.
I personally would like to see John fight for the European I think he has proven himself at this level and I don't see why he should wait around until May or possibly later to take on the winner of Martin Lindsay-Jamie Arthur. Sadly that won't happen because the European champion is defending in February.

Id love to see him fight appleby set the record straight but i dont think thats what appleby needs right now. think he needs to be eased back build his confidence again. id like to see him go for the european think hes more than ready now.

I agree and really would love to see John go for the European but sadly Yefimovych is taking on Isaev in February so that takes that out. And there aren't any decent Commonwealth Featherweights so sadly he really is stuck for a meaningful fight.

What about ricky owen? to be honest ive never seen him fight but remember reading somewere he wanted a fight with john.

[icemax]

I was thinking definately more along the lnes of fat bastard...no offence :deal:D

[royalt0208]

What about ricky owen? to be honest ive never seen him fight but remember reading somewere he wanted a fight with john.

He has been in the ring once in 18 months and that was 8 months ago in a 6 rounder against James Ancliff. So although potentially decent from the looks of his record would be hugely up against considering that lay off and lack of experience. The best African contender is Emmanuel Tagoe who is 6-1 and has a loss to Lante Addy. Sadly there just aren't many options available for him unless he takes a non title fight against a top european contender which I wouldn't be against but doubt will happen.

[billy nelson]

iceman im hurting,good news your eyes are fine ha ha

[BoroBoxing1]

Bell is shit, Trucsott would beat him.

totally agree :happy

[BoroBoxing1]

Everybody on here totally underates Truscott and thats fine, everybody underates his power thats fine but you just ask John Simpson if Truscott hits hard and he will tell you the truth, i was talkin to John after the second fight with our Paul and what a cracking lad he is to take time out after a nice little war with my brother and talk to us... John Simpson knew he had been in a war with a lad with a broken hand and who was weight drained... everybody could tell that Paul was weight drained at the weigh in he looked like junkie.... What i am trying to get at is why does everybody underate him ????

Including yourself, its 3 people against 1 I think when discussing Trussy against Bell, so I don't think he is being underrated. You should create a thread on that fight :good

How much of a freak are you if your mates with Bell tell him to stay into Corrie because thats his best option, He will get seriously hurt by any of the top Featherweights in the country as Simpson proved, what a little wanker you are.

[almsn]

He's big ain't he tho Truscott 5.9 .Wonder how he'll do at superfeatherweight if he's moving up .Could maybe take some power up .I was just checking the superfeatherweight rankings .Gary Sykes he just won a British title eliminator .That must be Mitchell's old belt .His record looks similar to Truscott's .13-0 4ko's Truscott's 13-2 1ko .

[Dan684]

Have some respect ffs.

Shut up Hairy. it was a joke but you cannot deny he looks like a junkie :D

A freak ?? Bell's never been in Corrie has he ? i'm not i'm not mates with Bell, i've met him a few times and he's a sound lad. Plus his mates dont come on here threatening other posters the way Dunky was threatened before the Simpson/Truscott rematch you tit.

It was my other brother who was threatening Dunky because of the way he was talking about Paul the lad has a short fuse why do you think he won 3 amateur titles in a row haha, anyways Dunky apoligised to my father and said he has respect for the way Paul fort Simpson.. and who wouldnt have respect apart from you... seen as your from manchester if you ever see John Murray how about you ask him who would win the fight between Paul and Bell thers another person who would tell you Bell would get beaten up :bbb

[Dan684]

I do have respect and have never said otherwise. And would this be the same 'John Murray' who thinks he'd beat Amir Khan at a canter ????

[HairyHighlander]

Shut up Hairy. it was a joke but you cannot deny he looks like a junkie :D


Ayes i saw he mentioned junkie himself after posting but decided to await your comeback, expected more :lol:

Anyways, i see he slinging just as bad so am gonna fuck off back to the Lounge for some serious debate :nut










































PS. Truscott points wins via pressure, output and skills :good

I could have respected you opinion if it wouldn't have been for the word 'skills' at the end. Truscott could win (Not in my opinion but thats another matter) but it wouldn't be through out-boxing Bell

[HairyHighlander]

Eh ?

Tell me he dosent have a good array of punches, dosent fight coming forward and backward, dosent have good footwork ?

Thats skills for me.

He does pretty well defensively and holds his hands high and as is evident, he likes to throw the lead right which i think would trouble Bell no end.


Maybe your right, maybe he dosent have skills.

[Dan684]

When will people learn to read comments properly on this forum :-(

I didn't say he had no skills I said he wouldn't win by his skills. For me Bell is more skillfull

I asked you to tell me if he dosent have skills, simply.


Agreed, when will people learn to read comments correctly on this forum :D

[Dan684]

Yes he does have skills. But Bell's are better. Easier to understand ?

[billy nelson]

why not make paul v steve in an eliminator

[icemax]

Everybody on here totally underates Truscott and thats fine,

To be honest, I don't think that thats fair. I think that Paul is a decent little pro and a very decent boxer with lots of heart, but he really does need to try to develop some power from somewhere so he can move on a level. The way he took his chance as a late replacement to grab the commonwealth strap was magical but he has to be beating fighters like Simpson, and the only way to do that is to make him respect your power on the way in, because if you don't he will steamroller you all night.

Best wishes to your bruv :deal

[icemax]

Dunky was threatened before the Simpson/Truscott rematch you tit.

To be fair, Dunky does deserve it most of the time :hey

[BoroBoxing1]

why not make paul v steve in an eliminator


Who do you think would win the fight billy ?

[billy nelson]

paul truscott in a tight one.

[victorhugo4222]

Think truscott UD

[kerrminator]

Trussie imo too. He showed immense charactar in the Simpson fight (also showed he's no pushover)
