Nope, but it is crucial that Team Lindsay get the cocky Dib over here.

maloney is doing well by his fighters, he's getting molitor over here, then hopefully he gets nishioka and dibb over here aswell.

Unbeaten Belfast hope Martin Lindsay is lined up to face brash Aussie Billy Dib in an eliminator for the IBF featherweight title held by Orlando Salido of Mexico.
Lindsay, the reigning British featherweight champion, is a former amateur star who spent his early pro years on the back-burner until a dramatic nine-round knockout of Derry Matthews in Sheffield in 2008 finally opened the door. A fight later the 28-year-old Lindsay stopped previously unbeaten Paul Appleby in six impressive rounds for the British title which he defended against born-again Welshman Jamie Arthur with a clear decision in Belfast earlier this year. Rangy Martin, 16-0 (6), brings punch-picking and deceptive power to this opportunity. The unfortunate Matthews was spreadeaged by a single left hook.
As for Dib, the cocky 24-year-old must have spent his entire youth watching Naseem Hamed because he brings a similar elusive, hands-down, switch-hitting style which you either loathe or love. Personally, I loathe it but Dib has fast hands and whacks a bit but he hardly whacks like Naz and his level of competition in Australia is pretty thin. He also looks a tad chinny because South Africa's Zolani Marali had him down in a 12-rounder in Australia in 2008 and looked unlucky not get the verdict; Japan's Kenichi Yamaguchi also had Dib down but was then put down himself and whacked on the canvas, which gave him no chance of recovering. The fight was subsequently and rightly declared a no-contest.
While Dib has lost only to American southpaw Steven Luevano in 29 fights in a crack at the WBO featherweight title in Atlantic City in 2008, Luevano schooled him on the way to a unanimous decision and there is a sense that Dib might be overrated – all noise and no substance - but home advantage will be crucial for Lindsay, who is likely to get shafted Down Under. Lindsay goes about his business quietly and effectively but unspectacularly, a 'sleeper' in the world featherweight ranks, the very antithesis of Dib.
