Chief support for a World title fight?

It seems like a weak fight to be chief support.

Jennings vs Mcintyre would be more appealing and worthy

Kevin can shift tickets aswell

Jennings v Brook is what a lot of us want to see.......Brook wasn't at all convincing that night

I may have mentioned this previously!

Cue Ian McNeilly :)

Yes, that would be a much better fight. It could be a final eliminator as well.

Makes sense to me however Mcmillan is with Alex morrison so prob needs few of his guys on bill , Jennings would beat him easy though

If Jennings doesnt fight then Kevin still has celtic so could fight mcmillan for that.

all the other decent scottish boys are with tommy gilmour wont see them on this

I think Jennings will beat Mcmillan fairily easily, shutout on points or mid-late stoppage. I used to box as am amatuer when Mcmillan was an although he was good on a national level he was never quite good enough to box at a british, international level. Think his Pro career will be pretty similar, maybe get to british eliminator level but not quite to a level where hes fighting for the British or Commenwealth titles.

He beat "The Doc" in his last fight, though Doherty is not a natural welter. He'll certainly give it a go. Good luck tae him.

Gary McMillan's introduction to the pro ranks went about as smoothly as Richard Keys's recent desperate apology on Talksport.
McMillan was outscored by Scott Woolford on his pro debut at York Hall in November 2006 and then held to a draw by Manchester-based Pole Tomasz Mazurkiewicz in early 2007 in his native Scotland. Two fights, no wins, McMillan looked destined for Palookaville but the young Edinburgh southpaw went away and really worked on the mistakes he had made. "Do you want more bones," a despondent Ace Miller cracked to his bulldog, after the spectacular fall of Miller's heavyweight star John Tate, and the bulldog snorted something that sounded like "yes".
Miller was back in the game, as was McMillan as he rattled off nine straight wins to secure a big all-Edinburgh showdown with Gary Young for the Scottish welterweight title in November 2009 in Glasgow. It was a showdown that came a bit too soon for McMillan, who picked up an early cut and a points defeat after 10 tetchy rounds. No matter, McMillan bounced back to score the biggest win of his career when he stopped the vastly experienced Craig Docherty in nine rounds in October, and now he takes on former British champion and world title challenger Michael Jennings in his first 12-rounder on March 12 in Glasgow.
His chances? Jennings is much the older man at 33 and was stopped on a cut in his last outing by Kell Brook, so McMillan might find himself in the right place at the right time, if boxing is all about timing, which it usually is. The 24-year-old McMillan brings motivation, heavy hands and a good right jab to the fight, while Jennings brings experience, fitness and slick boxing skills, although you wonder about his own motivation after 12 long years as a pro. The Chorley lurcher went in with Puerto Rican great Miguel Cotto in Madison Square Garden in 2009, to be halted in five rounds, and has fought only three times since, including that loss to Sheffield's Brook in a crack at his old British title. Now Michael finds himself fighting a 14-fight opponent, away from home, down the bill, with everyone expecting him to win.
I think he will, but we can expect a big effort from McMillan as, cuts apart, he takes it all the way to the points.

Nice post mate. I think your right Jennings is expected to win but he's nearing the end of his career in my opinion and it's a good chance for Mcmillan. It should make for interesting fight, maybe no terribly exciting but it'll be interesting tae see how it goes.
