Apart from rd3 and poss the atart of 4 applby looked way out of it honestly. Lindsey really smashed him up. Early in the second you could see appleby really didn't fancy the shot he was takin

Gotta apologise for some drib drab comments there. I'll leave it for someone else next time.

What a tremndous turn around from setanta though i gotta say. I don't know whether anyone watched that online but the quality of picture is super, and fullscreen at that.

Think Bunce is gonna pop a blood vessel rantin again. Wish they would change him for someone else man.....

Hell of a fight, I thought it was quite even & had Appleby just ahead going into 6, although scoring that fight was pretty pointless.

Hope Appleby can come again, he totally lost his head in this fight. Again, I'm alone in enjoying Bunce's ranting

From fightnews...

In an all-action brawl between two undefeated featherweights, Belfast-native Martin Lindsay (14-0, 6 KOs) scored the biggest win of his career by stopping the reigning British champion Paul Appleby (14-1, 9 KOs) in the sixth round. Lindsay looked strong with his hard and precision punching in the first two stanzas. Appleby cam back strong in the third rocking slightly fading local hero on several occasions. Round four was as brutal as they are with Lindsay being just a bit more active in the back-and-forth two-way massacre. Round five was for the champion. In round six, Martin Lindsay increased his tempo and started to land his punches at will. After the series of left and right hooks Appleby was pinned to the ropes, barely made it to the center of the ring only to be brutalized once again with the monsterous right hand of Lindsay prompting referee to stop the contest at 2:36 of the round six. Appleby is still to be decked in his career though

Great scrap, very entertaining. But imo to many good prospects from the uk just want to get invloved in a fight to much rather than a boxing match. I think Lindesy has some great skills but fighting like that will get him nowhere, Appleby will come again and will be involved in some more domestic scraps.
