Martin Lindsay to fight for IBF Youth Featherweight title

Big Ears

Martin Lindsay is fighting Uriel Barrera(12-1-0) for the IBF Youth Featherweight title on the undercard of Steve Molitor's next fight on the 27th of October .

Now the IBF Youth title means pretty little but when it's one of Ireland's best prospects fighting for it it's worth a mention .

The only thing that concerns me about this fight is that Barrera's solitary fight was against Jose Silveira , the man Lindsay beat in his last fight by 60-54 on all 3 cards .So hopefully Barrera can give Martin something and not just be an easy fighter for him to win a 'title' against .

In the main event Molitor defends against Fashan 3K Battery(58-8-1) of Thailand , who's last loss was against Manny Pacquiao 3 years ago when he was stopped in 4 rounds .Since then he has taken a typical Thai route and defended a regional title(IBF pan-pacific) against no hoper's till he got his opportunity .

Despite 3k Battery only being stopped once and Molitor not being the biggest of bangers I expect a late stoppage win for the IBF champ .

Lindsay should come through comfortably on points .

This lot probably will , but outside of Canada you'll probably find nothing .

Hopefully Eurosport pick it up for a few weeks after the fight like they do with some US/German cards .

Lindsay won a shutout on all 3 cards last night .
A good win for Lindsay and it seems him fighting for this Canadian promotional company is working a treat .
