There are a load of good Scottish fights there which I'm sure would interest the fans and Kris would fight anyone he was asked to, although that's his managers job.

Thats basically what I was saying with regards to progressive rise to title fights you made it sound clearer than I did! I would also agree that manager /promoter tells him who to fight.


Take away prizefighter, in Rose and Soro, Kris has just boxed 24 rounds against top level fighters and never looked outclassed in any round and in fact gave out plenty. Mathew Hall showed Kris the concentration needed to compete at that level. That wasn't lack of ability, just a bad performance on the night but without doubt he has learned and progressed.

As per previous quotes I've never questioned kris's ability or dedication and like u I believe given the right opportunity s / fights he can win titles ! (And hope he does )

We got offered Soro 4 weeks ago and decided it's worth a shot, there was nothing else on the table. I can think of another Saltire Boxer Kevin Mcintyre who lost his first couple of title shots but stuck in, improved and went on to win the British Title. We know there's more to come, and we will get there.

Fair play for taking the fight defo! But it was always going to be a very hard shift.as a fan I would like to kris win a hard fight just below title level before stepping into another title shot,get a good win under his belt and take that forward .that's just my fans view ft and as u no very limited view at that!(lol) but a suppose its sll about opinions on here!
Any way good luck as always to team Carslaw and saltire!!!!
