Hi folks!This should be a good test for Appleby tonight on Friday Fight Night though im sure Appleby will do fine.This should be a great fight.Pickering is always a bit dangerous and durable!!I like Pickering due to the fact that he is always game!!Im looking forward to this one.It'll be great to see Appleby again too,great prospect him!;)
Anyone watching it too?
Appleby won by UD and retained his Featherweight belt.Appleby was'nt too pleased with his own performance.He looked a little tired in round 9.Good win,at least he admitted his poor performance!
saw him in one of his first fights, looked hot for thre future should be on track to a world title by the time hes 25. hopefully sooner if he has the ability which it appears he does
They both looked very ordinary.
Appleby world title by 25??
You serious mate, the guy is an average domestic fighter hes the sort of fighter who will probably not even win the British title out right, he is no way near world class.
Pickering landed some fairly decent shots flush on Appleby last night, so at least we know he isn't going to go all Amir Khan on us. He looked big at the weight, and strong compared to the upwardly mobile Pickering (weight, not career!). He's only 21, and he's got time to develop yet. Hard to judge him as Pickering was extremely negative, and when he got into a bit of bother in the 9th he weathered the storm. I'm gonna give him a few fights before writing him in or ruling him out even on the euro stage.Quote:
