What a great effort from Simpson. He’s about to prove a lot of us wrong here. I hope he does it and makes it through this last round.

Great fight, tough as nails the both of them. Surely Simpson has won that - a barnstormer

It’s not a fight I’d ever re-watch, but Simpson got the job done the only way he could, realistically, so well done to him.

FairPlay to him for winning but Simpson doesn’t seem to have come on much if at all. Bullying a naturally smaller much older man is all well and good but he won’t get anywhere near world level with that kind of performance.

Yes I'm sure Rob would soon sort out his minimal punch resistance ...

I'd like to see Troy drop to 160lbs and become three weight British champion.

If he picks that up, him and Denzel Bentley would be a cracking fight.
It would, and Troys dream of a world title tilt to boot.

Good fight. Bit too much mauling. In don't know where Simpson goes. He out worked Troy but not sure what he does at world level. I think Troy should go back to 160 as said on here. He would be strong there

Doub.t he,ll be able to sort out punch resistance . But he,ll definetly be able to sort out . Carrying hands low . Throw a jab and drop the right hand . Throw a right and drop the left a d numerous other basic novice mistakes a top level guy SHOULD NOT BE DOING . Basically at that level heavyweight anyone can get clobbered and hurt . AJ gets clobbered because he relys on his power his defence is shit . Aj should be a poster boy of how not to do stuff that's what he gets when he leaves good coaches to go train with mates . What's more Usyks team are NOT gonna get him out of the bad habits he.s formed in recent years .. Rob's probably the only one who could

Len Harvey won Middle, Light Heavyweight and Heavyweight British titles I think I remember someone telling me.

2503300 wrote: 08 Aug 2026, 18:30 I always thought that Bunny Johnson winning British titles at Heavy then Lightheavy was an impressive achievement.

Bunny would have been absolutely deadly at the old 13st 8lbs Cruiser limit unfortunately that wasn't introduced until near the end of his career.
People say Bunny’s spars with the Heavyweights of his time were incredible and he was a cracking fighter for sure.
