Jay McFarlane

[jameswilson]

He won the Scottish title against a fancied up and comer in the last week or so.

I said after he lost to Carty that I hoped he wouldn’t be seen again as he doesn’t seem to train hard enough, but what do people reckon? He’s obviously good to watch as his fight with Nick Campbell was a barnstormer. Will he be fed to Johnny Fisher to allow Fisher to get further up the British rankings and get more experience in?

I like watching McFarlane, never in the best of shape but at least he's not cagey, always comes for a scrap

Me too. He's now actual won two Scottish titles, I know they're not commonly fought for belts but good memories to have on to say he was a two weight national champ. Amazing that he can weigh in at 200lbs and then fight at 280lbs.

He's got an interesting story, in care, mum sent down for drugs while he was young, clearly a chaotic upbringing. He's self effacing, I hope he fights on telly again I like watching him.

He seemed to have some stability when he was living and training with Dave Allen.

McFarlane is a beast

No one enjoys fighting him

Should rematch nick campbell, that was an interesting fight first time round and decent Scottish title defence.

Good shout I'd watch that rematch

i thought jay deserved the win over mark bennett in the boxxxer tournament as well. looks like a guy whose form and condition are all over the place. if he;'s serious he's a good test at an area level

I thought it was close and if he'd trained a lot would have been a lot easier. I like Jay. Hope Kynoch gets him some good fights on tv, I think two weight national title is marketable.

Just saw he's on BKFC and lost in a round to Mick Terrill. Looked really out of shape.

It was not good he kind of quit. His upbringing was horrendous so it makes sense how haphazard he is as an adult. Lost soul is Jay.

Can you tell us a bit more about his background Sean?

It’s only from what I’ve read and listened to. His Ma got sent down for something to do with drugs while they were abroad iirc and he ended up in the care system. He was living in Donny for a bit with Dave Allen.

Sounds like he should not be fighting https://bloodyelbow.com/2026/03/15/bkfc ... n-ko-loss/

Interesting. Is he a Donny lad?

Sorry daft question, I knew he was Scottish but thought he might have had Donny connections.

It was a strange bk fight at Newcastle. Did he become blind or something?

I'm guessing his fighting days, gloves on or off are over.

He said he couldn’t see then protested it, was an odd one

He said he couldn’t see so the ref waved it off
