Duane`s from my home city and a nice quiet lad,has a good engine but old for a novice bantam,very little power to speak of so can`t see this going well for him tbh.
What`s Kash like,decent stoppage ratio but haven`t seen him for myself myself.

Nice one. Great what they’re doing with Kash: so nice to see a British champion so active.

Hopefully he comes through in style & sets up the clash with McGregor.

Kash has great upper body movement and looks difficult to catch Clean. Seems to be punching harder too - stopped five of his last six. Gorilla productions did a nice highlight of one of his fights.

Hope if he gets through this. Mcgregor kash should be in secc or hydro not the radisson in dinner suits!

Boxing back on BBC

If he`s as good as you all say then he`ll walk straight through Duane,who`s only really fought low-level opponents,and struggled with many of them tbh.
Good opportunity for the lad though,and good luck to them both

I really like Farooq he's a quality operator, smooth boxer, not a big puncher but is accurate so has been getting guys out of there lately, looks to be improving all the time, ive never seen Winters before but theres nothing on his record to suggest he beats Farooq although you never know with these unknown guys, I liked Farooq's win over Butcher but these last 2 opponents aren't British level IMO, not on paper anyway, I want to see the McGregor fight before both guys move on

Craig Dickson on the undercard in his first fight in TEN years.

It did sound preposterous esp @ 40. I remember him in prizefighter and that wasn’t yesterday. Fck me I’m getting old...

The only fighter to beat Winters has lost 48 fights since

[ShadrachSimmo]

Absolute farce.

[NoScoutingReports]

Didn't take long..serious mismatch. Enjoy watching Farooq, great variety.

[Old bones Ian]

Yeah that was a mismatch in hindsight.
Why was it called RSC? He counted him out

I think he waved it just before getting to 10.

[black panther]

Winters was good enough to be Southern Area champ at a weight above.

And he looked bigger than Farooq and seemed to have a tight guard. But all over in one round after an innocuous looking left hook to the body.
But congratulations to Farooq on winning the Lonsdale belt outright: no mean feat.
Mcgregor - Farooq lets get it on!
