X2

Love watching John Simpson. This fight could steal the show.

Simpson would face anyone, so would Choi.

Id like them both to win, but will pick Choi as he's won at a slightly higher level. But Simpson might do it if the age kicks in late on with Choi.

Great matchmaking. Can't fail to be explosive. It was always mooted when Simpson was British champ.

great fight this! really hope simpson can win this non more deserving than him

John should have been European champ by now or at least have fought for a world title!!!!

Great match up. I would think Simpson will get smashed.

Why will Simpson get "smashed"?? Other than Selby, I can't think of anyone to have done this. Simpson's record could have been much, much better had it not been for a number of close - and debatable - decision losses (Stephen Smith x 2 in the not-so-distant past to name just a couple).

Cos it's Choi! Although he may be getting a bit old now.

Sparred both two great warriors can't pick a winner

This fight is for the WBO Inter-Continental title.

Is Hearn intending to send Simpson on the path to a WBO title shot?

Shrewd observing. That could be his intention.

See its at feather. Thought simpson would had stayed at super-feather?

I read on ESB that Simpson said the fight would be at super featherweight.

nope, Hearn is intending to send who ever wins down the WBO route i think

So does Hearn promote Choi?

Is Choi still with Spencer Fearon??
Simpson for me in a tough grulling fight...Got to love John Simpson,toughman!! i thought after the Selby loss that would be the end,but he looks better than ever&as much a Choi is tough he will be made for the Scotsman
