Ukashir Farooq vs. Iain Butcher: British Title - 30 November 2018

[Stuarty]

Yeah looks like he could be a good fighter. What did he do in the ams mate

Always been a good watch mate. Won several Scottish, British and regional titles as well as a bronze in the Commonwealth games. Beat Andrew Selby in they games. Sure he beat Edwards a couple times as well.

Sounds promising. Another good fighter for youse scots to get behind. With Taylor looking like a star could be a good time for your prospects to get shown to a wider audience

Deffo mate. Things are looking up for a change haha! Taylor leading the way and we have high hopes for Hutchison and Lee McGregor as well

I can see McFadden fighting for a domestic title next year if they get him out regular.... MTK not producing as many shows as I thought they would be though. Hopefully that picks up next year.

that was a catteral-davis kinda round

[Stuarty]

smith down!

I hadn't realised I had pause time til I read your message Good shot from the Lithuanian. He's a real handful!

[jamamb]

nice right hook korsakas but this is too much of staring contest

[jamamb]

not a legit knockdown imo

[Stuarty]

Think McKenna looks like he has Bensons number here.

Nah the punch didn't even look like it landed did it!

[Stuarty]

Benson busier and landing more but McKenna has had his successes with some decent single shots. McKenna looks massive compared to Benson in there!

[Ruthless-RKO]

Is he shaving the tash tomorrow?

Movember will be over.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Benson has a bit of a sissy stance. The way he goes in and out.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Good shots there. I can’t see a stoppage though.

Thought Benson done enough but I can see why McKenna got it. Benson retires after the fight

[Stuarty]

Pity there was no judging there and just the ref! Pretty poor!

[smiling assassin]

Never seen Farooq before this I like his style very relaxed.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I think Farooq has done enough to take this.

Ukashir Farooq!!

[Stuarty]

Cash Farooq looked very good tonight. He won wide but Butcher kept it competitive even though he was dropping the rounds and being hurt! Massive credit to him! Fought well but was just up against a better fighter on the night,

Would love to see Farooq v McGregor next year! That would be excellent! Reminiscent of Arthur v Limond back in the day

[handsofstone]

I was really impressed with Farooq I had him winning everything, he's a tidy boxer, great upper body movement, is quick and puts his shots together nicely, Butcher as expected was tough and gave it a go but was never in the fight, Farooq had a great first round and that set the tone, he was able to land combinations at will and although Butcher always took them well he was losing round after round

Farooq showed a good brain as well he was able to control the pace, I think he knew after a few rounds he couldn't KO Butcher so was happy to outbox him, he's a fluid boxer and throws some quality combinations, I would've liked to have seen him work the body more than he did, he was headhunting a lot especially in the early rounds but he did mix things up down the stretch, I think him and McGregor for the British/Commonwealth titles is an excellent scrap
