Wow I really want to see this now.

Go on Leon Mckenzie. Don't like a lot of McCallums comments.

[sammy95]

Great idea, I have often wondered why "small hall" shows have't done this sort of thing before (they may well have done, but I haven't seen it).

Looks like its going to be a tasty encounter, a few petty comments in there which suggests to me that there is real dislike between these guys.

This fight just got a lot more intriguing in my eyes!

[Stuarty]

McCallum comes across as a bit of a knobhead there! I reckon he'll beat McKenzie though.

[Coco]

British title eliminator?????
Neither have barely any fights or fought a winning fighter, not even a half decent journeyman.

[jack russell]

McCallum bottle crashed at the end plus his Amateur Record is a load of bull he was never a big puncher and never boxed at senior level that I recall ....And calling Leon a sex offender and talking about his depression is out of order ... I cant see McCallum showing up he is all mouth ....

[blanca]

Any ideas where u can get tickets for this? Goodwin website tickets link doesnt work!

[jaymitch81]

I get all trash talking especially when trying to sell a fight but to call someone a sex offender and Paedophile is a disgrace and I'm wondering if the BBBoC will step in and deal with them comments.

Don't really care who wins just hope it's a good scrap.

[Old bones Ian]

Hated that, I know it may sell tickets but its going down the route of Wrestling, its basically saying lets sit the boxers down, let them insult each other and get a reaction. With no control from the bloke in the middle.

[forcefraser]

McCallum comes across as a total arse. Terrible jacket as well.

I wonder what happened when the cameras stopped. looked like McCallum was shitting it a bit to me. All mooth and nae troosers.

Hope McKenzie sparks him clean out.

[Coco]

Neither of them have shown the power to dislodge the skin off a rice pudding and wouldn't be out of place with a Maltese license.

Those comments were pretty pathetic. He made himself look like a twat trying to take the piss out of someone for having a second career in music. All looked pretty desperate to me - I'm not sure that this is doing anything to sell tickets particularly, just makes boxing look a bit naff having people make such stupid comments.

McCallum to be fair done really well, tried to rile him and get under his skin and it worked, they have both been at it on Twitter so there was no boundaries, both as bad as each other, I like McCallum but for me when you behave like that you have to back it up, slatin him for his opponents when in fact both have not had a
Meaningful fight, I hope John wins this being a Scotsman and I want to see him get a break.

This card looks stacked to be fair, easily one of the best non tv shows of the year!!

If I wasn't going to Eggington/Gavin the same night I think I'd make the trip down the smoke for this

Ta!

After watching that not sure how anyone other than his family can want to McCallum to win. What tool the guy is. Taking the piss out of depression=absolute wanker. Also trying to mock McKenzie about being a failed footballer, the guy must be thick as f**k, he was a premier league player! Like woodhouse, anything that McKenzie does in this sport is a bonus, but I would love to see him take out the self proclaimed "big puncher" (with o ko's) McCallum whos primary sport is boxing.

As you have just posted a link and not bothered to post a comment I can only assume you think that it is good promotion?

What is your target demographic with this approach ?

I wouldn't class making comments about someone being a paedo and making comments about his mental health as doing really well, i have seen some of the comments on twitter but mckenzie didn't mention anything of the same level to him ,

[JamieM]

Leon has been on Twitter getting involved I trash talk, in past we have seen people trash mayweatber for being a women beater and his family's past involvement with drugs including his mother. I do t agree with his comments as my boundaries are different to his clearly but Mckenzie reacted and got emotional is where I said he done well to bait him out of it. Also Mckenzie allowed for the video to be broadcasted, if it was as close to the bone he would have at least made them edit it or not publish it, all a ploy to sell tickets, don't see why his character should be tarnished for that reason. Been a lot worse in the past

There's no excuse for calling another man a nonce, whether it's to sell a fight or not, probably won't even make any money out of it as I'm sure he'll be called in front of the board to explain himself, which will likely lead to a fine. He's now whinging on twitter because McKenzie got an IFL interview and he didn't, more evidence of him being a bellend.

[JamieM]

I don't know the guy but if it was that bad the promotors who are Mckenzie's wouldn't have released it which makes me think it's been a plan to get that kinda behaviour. No excuse for anyone and I don't know the basis of depression with Mckenzie etc, just think the promotors have put McCallum right in it

[daviddee]

Just to point out McKenzie didn't deny anything John was saying

[Stuarty]

I sent a link of the video to my mate who has sparred McCallum a few times and he said he always thought he was a decent enough guy and was surprised at the video. Says McCallums 'decent but nothing special' but he's 'game as fornicate'. Could be a decent wee scrap on the night.

[stevedoc]

What a knob McCallum is how can he shout about KOing Leon when he has 0% ko rate never won inside the distance I hope Leon does a number on him
