Might I suggest staying there?

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.

Troy, coming on strong

Troy did well to come back from them 3 consecutive losses.

Shalom is not happy with Troy’s work.

Gruelling fight. Both gave their all, Simpson should get this.

I fully intend to without your encouragement.

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

Can't believe Simpson got away with so much holding

Brave lads, left it all in there

7-5 Simpson

Rob McCracken comes up aces again

AJ should go back to him.

Smith is desperate for Simpson too win

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.

Judges scorecards

116-112
117-112
115-113

All for the winner..

And NEW

CALLUM SIMPSON!

Simpson deserved UD great fight and great performance to come back from a battering like that, by doing the exact same thing..!
Great mentality

Entertaining scrap. Right man won.

Troy is a hard man. Relentless

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 ...

You're back!

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.

Rematch clauses. Meh.
You beat me. That's not fair. Give me another go.

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.
