Boxing - Craig McEwan & Freddie Roach

[derekHFC]

Just watching the boxing on SKy Sports and a young guy called Craig McEwan from Wester Hailes is boxing. Seen his corner man wearing a green top and i thought it looked like a Hibs top.

Low and behold, it is and its being worn by Freddie Roach. I never even knew that he was a Hibby.

The young lad is doing ok to be fair to him.

Spot on Derek - Craig is a die-hard Hibee - the nephew of Wullie McEwan of McEwan Decor fame.

This will be an exciting match for Craig and am certain he will win this with flying colours - cmon Craigie :thumbsup:

He has an impressive record so far, 12 wins, 7 by knockout. He is in good hands with Freddie Roach as well.:agree:

He fights in America mainly Toaods, in fact I may be right in saying all 12 of his pro bouts have been in the States, could be wrong though.

Would love to see him over here, looks to be a tidy operator:agree:

I'd forgotten he was the lad fighting over there. Wasn't there sometalk of him fighting on the Khan undercard or somethng along those lines??

Has anybody heard about Gary Young recently, I've been out of things since I've been over here butthe last fight i was at, he was floored with a lucky punch from Peely McNeil and I think he'd broken his hand after that.

Would be a shame if that lucky punch ruined his promising career.

I was wondering that myself after I saw him at a bus stop in Bonnyrigg last week - I think he was a decent fighter but a bit over rated.

Probably the same story as most young boxers. Was ever tested properly and had his fights hand picked for him.

He looked decent though, was a big puncher and had a lot of ability. Peely's punch was a good one but knocked him out cold. Maybe doesn't have the chin for it? It was certainly the first time he'd taken a decent punch.

Do my best he doesn't really fight over here though mostly in the states. Only fights he had here were amateur fights.

Will have a chat with him soon and find out if he intends to fight over here
