Appleby given surprise shot at European title

[gingeralbino]

I think it was a good idea turning down the european title shot on Lindsay's part, he's still fairly green so defending the british belt a few times will bring him on well. Plus he can build a bigger fanbase and when/if he fights for the european title it will be a big occasion, Bernard Dunne challenging Kiko Martinez (although the result went wrong) amazed me how big an event it was.

i'd like his to fight simpson, it would be a good fight. I know Appleby already beat him but he looks good.
When he Lindsay fought Appleby in the Ulster Hall it was a mental atmosphere, the commentators gave up cos they couldnt hear themselves! Only a 1000 capacity in there too. if he can bring that kind of atmosphere to a big venue it would be unbelievable.
