[joekirkbycobra]

i rate appleby highly i think he's going somewhere but i dont think he'll b a world beater like

[Alex_NA_Exile]

i rate appleby highly i think he's going somewhere but i dont think he'll b a world beater like

I really like watching him fight and have grown to be a bit of a fan. I can understand ur point of view but i refuse to make any sort of judgement on whether he'd be a world beater but i have quiet confidence abt him. :bbb

[Dunky McCafferty]

Its one helluva fight if it hapens, but Simpson is a wily experienced campaigner with a great chin, hard to hit & bangs a bit nowadays!

Appleby is going to be a star of the future, I have no doubt BUT stepping up from journeyman level to fight John Simpson so early in his career? Its a big jump & I think if Simpson turns up in shape(he was a bit podgy in his last fight & underperformed) then I think Simpson will beat Appleby on points.
Simpson is a big jump up in class for a prospect who hasnt mixed above journeyman level yet, & dont forget people what Simpson did to a fine fighter like Andy Morris recently.

I admire Applebys attitude calling out Simpson, but hes making a big mistake IMHO!

[Cuts man]

Appleby bit too flash in my opinion if he is calling out John Simpson then I think he is running before he can walk .My impression of Appleby is a cocky pup banged out a few african fighters but not ready for going for such a competetive belt

[elle]

Very exciting match up.

Appleby is a great young prospect but fighting Simpson at this stage of his career is probably too soon for him.

I think Simpson only needs one more successful defence of his British Title and he gets to keep the Lonsdale Belt outright - I hope he is successful.

[dwilson]

John Simpsons experience may take the day in this one. Appleby definetly has tools to make a real impact and he should really be doing a number on Simpson if he has hopes or serious title contention but on recent fights a guy like Simpson may be able to turn the fight into and hard one and cause an upset.

:huh

No disrespect to Appleby, he is a terrific prospect but I don't see why Simpson beating him would be viewed an upset.

For me Appleby beating Simpson in his next couple of fights would be more of an upset result.

Appleby is a great prospect while Simpson is just a good British fighter.

It would be an upset in terms of levels they are expectd to achieve.

I like Simpson but he is not going any further while Appleby has world title aspirations and a defeat against Simpson would seriously harm his route.

Simpson is often underrated as a fighter.

I see what you mean about Appleby though - a loss could be perceived as a backwards step but perhaps that is partly due to expectations being too high too soon.

A defeat to Simpson wouldn't necessarily seriously harm his career - depends on the manner of the loss.

The manner of the loss is the problem. Simpson has the potential to put a real dent in Appleby's hype train. It is a tough fight and one both should be commended for taking.

Agree if Appleby were to lose badly it would dent his confidence but if he was always in the fight or it was a close decision he could come out of it with a lot of credit even if he were to lose.

Appleby's camp clearly have a lot of confidence in him by pushing for this fight. :good

[brown bomber]

I actually think Simpsons win over Morris was one of the best domestic performances of 2007! He was fantastic.

[kerrminator]

Im gonna go against the tide and pick Appleby for this one. Each time I've seen the youngster I 've been more and more impressed and although I rate Simpson as a good domestic fighter I reckon Appleby will be even more improved by the time it happens and pull it off.

[victorhugo4222]

JOhn has been told he doesnt have to fight appleby till july due to an injury to his hand so hes hoping to fight for the european title before he defneds against appleby so appleby could end up fighting for the british and euro title in only his 11th fight.

I think john will have too much experience for appleby and will win comfortably on points.

Simpson is very underated. That is why due to the hype of Appleby (he is special no doubt) I think it will be seen as an upset for Appleby to lose, the same way if Khan lost any of his recent fights they would have been upsets.

John however can win this and keep plugging away for more opportunities.

The comparison about Appleby and Khan is an interesting one - not least because the former is pushing to challenge for the British Title and the latter has just withdrawn his interest.

Difference is Appleby looks like he wants to fiht guys who will test him while Khan just wants to wag his cock out ******s office and be told how great he is.

Thats an image I didnt need put into my big scottish head:lol:

[Big Ears]

I fancy Appleby to beat Simpson in a gruelling war .
It would be great if Simpson could capture the European title before the bout , he's good enough to do it and deserves it(with some of the luck he's had in fights) and it would add to what is already an intruiging match up between a solid British champion and a young , very promising prospect .

[stevie7]

hopefully this fight happens. i see it being one of the best british fights this year if it goes ahead.

pauls fight tomorrow should be good and cant wait to see it.

[box-now]

Appleby is over-rated big time, i mean he's looked good against journey men but what does that prove, the guy he's fighting tomorrow is yet another one but we have gilmore in the paper saying how hard a fight its gonna be think his record is 9 wins 10 defeats or something, simpson is far to experienced and talented for Appleby in the next year, after that who know's, but you also have Jason hastie (who beat appleby as a amature) to take into account

[AllyT]

Another explosive win for Appleby. Thought the commentators were a bit hard on him.

[robpalmer135]

I am not saying he wouldnt win, but they should not put him in with Simpson yet. 3 more fights at least, theres no need to rush this guy.

Heres the deal with him, well my opinion of him. Seen him a few times now, he is a solid puncher, accurate with a good range of punches. Put his head movement is poor, both on offence and defence. Notice he looks away when hes throws punches. Also he doesn't counter punch.

but he is entertaining. So lets see how he does. Could be a big time star.

[Max Molyneux]

I agree Appleby's not ready for Simpson yet, got fast reflexes but needs to relax a bit and not get In tear ups with guys he can easily outbox. He was taking hooks he shouldn't of been taken and Simpson has good power when he wants to show It.

Watched Appelby tonight at the Kelvin Hall - he appears to be a very talented young man - threw beautiful hooks to the body of his Namibian opponent , however it was very noticable that his defence needs work as he shipped a lot of overhand rights and appeared to become dissinterested at times. He could not allow himself to become complacent against someone like Simpson who would keep it close and try to nullify Appelby's long range work. I personally would like to see Appelby's reaction if he couldn't stop his opponent and was taken into the latter part of a fight. This may be the difference, as Simpson knows how to "tough it out" and at this stage of Appelby's young carreer we havent seen that side to him - still looks a great prospect though

Appleby has fought hastie loads a few times and beat him the hastie beatin appleby was a set up, I would love to see an Appleby Hastie pro fight but hastie would never go for that i think .

Which fight did you see, :huh i saw him fighing a hungarian guy who was tough but with little skill, he was taking alot of shots from the hungarian and if he doesn't tighten his defence up he is in for a very hard night against the much more talnetd simpson.

[maka]

spoke to simpson last night and he fancys the job, big time............and mentioned the 12th of march , i think this should be put back a bit seen as how appleby has been busier than john and is fit right now.

although simpson looked fresh and fit and said he'd be ready............. but would like more time :bbb

[kerrminator]

Got to hand it to young Appleby he is happy to fight anyone and doesnt want to take any easy route to the top. I didnt realise just how quick the Simpson fight would be happening (I thought it would have been at least the latter quarter of this year) so I hope they iron out Pauls defensive flaws as he stil seems to make a few little novice like mistakes....great young prospect though :)

I didnt realise Coyle was fighting last night (I was at school with Jamie) so it was good to see him :)

Maka, say congrats to Barry for us if you see him today ;)

[box-now]

Appleby has fought hastie loads a few times and beat him the hastie beatin appleby was a set up, I would love to see an Appleby Hastie pro fight but hastie would never go for that i think .

I dont see why you think its a set up?, It was a box off for the commonwealth games why would it be a set up, the ABS would want to send there best fighter at that weight Jason was that imo. I also think Jason would be more than happy to fight Appleby in a year or so once he has had a few more fights. I think Appleby fighting Simpson before the end of this year would be a big mistake, but Gilmore will risk it because he needs to have a title in his stable to keep his shows on sky.

[stakeout]

First time I've seen Appleby and was quietly impressed. There are obvious flaws that he needs to work on but his entertaining style and powerful body shots should take him a long way. Not sure about Simpson just yet.

i know.........i thought this was too soon to be true:smoke ..........but he defo mentioned the 12th and that he was wanting the fight put back cause appleby was fit and ready to fight.

I stated in my original post that Appelby's opponent was a Namibian - however this is obviously not correct and appears to be a hungarian - that's fine though without knowing either of these opponents personnally then i was duty bound to belive what was printed in the programme Paul Appleby (south queensferry) v Junius Amunyela (Namibia) hope this clears the missunderstanding on the forum. Again back to my original post I think that appleby appears to be a great prospect BUT may need time before getting it on with Simpson:nono

[rooq]

appleby, like many other young prospects, got put in with a boxer he thought he'd blow away easiily and set about doing so. he then seemed to get a little disheartened when the hungarian came back after each impressive kd.

a little naive, but i think he'll approach the simpson fight completely differently and raise his game. i wonder if it will be enough though...

[stake501]

appleby is a talented young man and i have high expectations but itis too early imo to be putting him in with a tough simpson.

i tthink appleby could win but what a risk to take with a good prospect so early...whats the rush???

[victorhugo4222]

The fight has been confirmed for mid June and will take place at the kelvin hall should be a cracking fight. John by UD.

was in our local newspaper the other day but im close friends with John also and he told me last week it would be at the kelvin hall in June. they were actually trying to put it off till July and get John a shot at the european title 1st but his habd has took longer to heal than 1st thought.

anyway heres the articvle it was in last week

John by mid round stoppage. Appleby just is not ready to fight a decent opponent.

[box-now]

simpson by KO, Appleby will look good first few rounds but then simpson will take over, I think Appleby is being rushed into a title fight cause Gilmour has no champs at present and need's one to keep the TV.

[victorhugo4222]

Also gilmour would love nothing more than to get 1 over on John after the way John left him a few years ago to sign for barry hughes. Dont think Appleby has been further than 6 rounds so a titler shot seems way out his reach to me.

Maybe they are thinking Appleby has the power to take John out early but that aint going to happen. John only took his 1st count in his last fight and was no more than a slip so dont see Appleby being able to do what Foster Jr, Matthews, Dazzo Williams or Andy Morris (x3) couldnt do and put John on his arse never mind stop him.

[finzwinz]

That's the thing that's making me think Appleby may be worth a bet on this one!

Surely Gilmour must view Paul as his main moneymaker, and as such would be mad to chuck him in unprepared to lose that '0.'

Hugo has mentioned that John used to be in Gilmour's camp, meaning that he will be aware of what John can do (notwithstanding his improvement of late). It just dont make sense to me, therefore I think that they believe that Paul can win this bout without taking too much damage. Either that or it's a PR stunt and Paul will pull out injured, with his name far more known in the circles.

you could be right bout the publicity thing........and this would be a way of getting back at simpson, him training hard for the fight and then p.a pulling out.

not sure what gilmours like in that sense.........but i can tell you he's never anywhere near a gym........so therefore only sees his boxers on the night........and general hear say coming from the camps.

simpson to ware down appleby in the latter and stop him........around 9 or 10.:bbb

I very much doubt that Appleby will be pulled out unless it's genuine , I have a feeling that Gilmour and co believe that despite the flaws he currently has that his raw aggresion , offensive style and power will be enough to get the better of Simpson . At least that's what I'm relying on to support my opinion of an Appleby win .

Anyway reckon what the odds will be like ? , from the looks of this thread the vast majority have gone with Simpson so I might have a look a putting something on Appleby if the odds are decent .


I think even if Appleby were to lose he'd probably gain a lot from defeat , much the same way Arthur did against Gomez .

[kerrminator]

Appleby could come back from a defeat no probs but I suspect that he will know he's nothing to lose and go for broke and cause an upset.

Gilmour was fuming when John left him to sign for barry hughes as gilmour took john on as a pro and got him his 1st british title shot at dazzo williams (totally robbed that night!) but i think this is more to do with they think Appleby was ready. they were ready to put him in with martin lynsday who isnt anywere near Johns level but is a good prospect who is still undefeated so shows they are prepared to take risks with Appleby now IMO.

[boxgirl]

appleby will not pull out there is no way that would happen, he got nothing to lose as was said earlier on in this thread , just a kid chasing a dream i wish him the best of luck . I knew him many years ago and all he would go on about was fighting for a british title so give it ur all son and whatever happens at least u went for it .

[Dunky McCafferty]

No need to panic victorhugo my good man:D as I have already said, I think Simpson will have too much experience & ring savvy for Appleby.

The reason I said what I said though is cos Appleby is a big prospect, & a novice.
Look at John Simpson, no-one has had an easy night against him. Simpson was robbed against Dazzo Williams, robbed against Derry Matthews & destroyed Andy Morris the last time they met. John Simpson is handful for anyone, & I was just saying if a novice like Appleby was to win convincingly against a fine fighter like John Simpson this early in his career, you would have to say the kid will go on to be a big star in the sport.

[stevie7]

appleby will never pull out this fight and is training to get ready for 16th at motherwell if simpson needs more time to lose the pounds then it may get moved to a later date but one thing for sure appleby aint going down with-out a fight. It will be more like simpson going down its going to be a ******* and the belt is coming home to the east coast.

enjoy your rants:yep

hey hey hey... whats all this stuff about the belt coming 'home' to the east coast? We ESB brit forum scots dont do east/west coast rivalry, look at me, a proud scotsman, from Glasgow, with an avatar of an east coast fighter.
May the best man win, no need for all that east-west rivalry that does nothing for boxing north of the border.

Hope Simmy's hand injury is not serious as he will need to be 100% for this one.

I also think he will have too much experience for Appleby at this stage.

There is no doubt he is a fighter that can dig deep when he needs to so I would pick him to win.

Scott Harrison loves Ricky Hatton, Appleby loves Ricky Hatton, Willie Limond loves Ricky Hatton etc etc etc.
To be honest, it tires me to see how thick scots are that they get behind the english fighters, whilst almost NO english posters want to see scottish fighters win.

Oh I know I have seen some half hearted posts pretending they want to see Arthur beat Guzman, but I am anything but a stupid man. I know what its all about in here. I am what I am.

Look at the welsh posters here. I got dogs abuse fronm them whilst they were happy to belive that they & the english were but one & the same. Since Enzo Mac & Gavin Rees got beat, they have been slaughtered. The welsh posters here have paid the price for daring to belivee they were best friends with the english, & that the englanders really loved the welsh fighters like they loved their own.
They learned the hard way.

Learn the hard way Enzo Calzaghe, they dont love you. When we win big, we are all brits. When we lose? We are scots & welsh. It aint Rocket science. I could have predicted Costellos damning interview before it happened.

It says in the edinburgh papers that the fight with appleby and simpson is may 16th so someone should really be getting there finger out and sorting this out either that Gilmour or simpsons manager they will know exactly when the fight is happenin it isnt fair on us supporters and also the boxers to much messing around, What kind of manager is Gilmour he lines up these celtic fights for appleby and they dont go ahead, appleby gets changes of opponents literally as he is going in the ring, Gilmour wants to stop messing around with the kid. Ok sorry about that my little rant is over now thanks.

What do you say to people who believe that the fight with John Simpson is coming too early for you?

Well, I’ve been on some websites and read a few things but I try to stay off them because it just annoys me when I read things like that. If you’re good enough it doesn’t matter when it comes and I think I’m good enough to win. My step mum goes on some of the forums and I tell her not to because a lot of what they say [forum posters] is a load of rubbish.

hmm. Sounds like Paul & his mum have been reading the boxrec forums:D

Great interview that, I really enjoyed it. Cheers Wakey:good

Thing is, Paul should understand that posters arent saying that he isnt good enough to win, people like me think he just may be a bit too inexperienced to beat John Simpson so soon in his career.

Dont worry chuckes or chuckles ma if yer reading we still think Paul a fine prospect!
