Edinburgh's next Ken Buchanan?
I know this should be under 'other sports' but I thought that many Hibs fans who don't know about or have much interest in boxing as a sport, might like to know about another emerging Hibernian sporting hero, who is coming on nicely under the legendary Freddy Roache's tutelage in LA.
"Middleweight Craig McEwan retained his perfect record, moving to 17-0 with a 79-73, 78-74, 77-75 decision over James Parison, handing the San Diego fighter his first defeat in a battle of undefeated fighters at the Quebec Colisee in part of the undercard action of the sold-out Lucian Bute versus
Librado Andrade card. The Scottish import who is promoted by Golden Boy got off to strong start but had too many lapses of inactivity during the eight
round bout where Parison was able to land some flush shots. As early as the
second round McEwan ate two lefts hooks right on the chin but remained
unfazed by the shots that had little mustard on them from the light hitting
Parison who has just three knockouts in thirteen fights. By the fifth round
Parison was sucking wind and was wild and clumsy in the middle of the ring,
but forced back to the ropes by a pursuing McEwan, was again able to counter with some solid right hands. The sixth was almost a mirror of the previous round, this time though with the southpaw suffering a cut over his right eye. The flush shots served as warning enough for McEwan who tried to keep the action in the middle of he ring down the stretch but was severely warned and action stopped for a blow behind the head on Parison who had turned his back on the action."
Well done C McE!
Another sporting superstar from the green half of Edinburgh. To be fair to those wobbly-slobbly Gorgie couch tatties, Nade could probably hold his own with Japan's finest in the sumo stakes.
