Check out this 20 year old Scottish prospect:

Did I mention he's only 20?!

Obviously the same caveats apply with Appleby as they do with all prospects. Good puncher, very dynamic, hittable. His defensive skills will define his career. I'm not going to get too excited about a young fighter that punches well, especially after Lee's recent loss. But there's nothing wrong with enjoying his offense! And when I think of how much he can develop over four or five years, with the base he has now... woah.

Appleby has a fight on June 6th against tough Scot John Simpson. This should go along way to prove if he's the goods or not. I think him and the English Kevin Mitchell are legit.

Appleby beat Simpson for the British feather weight title by the scores of 115-114,115-114,115-113. I didn't see it but people who did seemed to be impressed by the 20yr old Appleby

Looks fast, hungry, and strong. A good action fighter. Bombing in like he does a smart counter puncher may flick the switch. But he is young and at his age he really has come far, far away. Really good prospect.
