    If Brophy stopped fighting Eastern European plumbers and British bums maybe they'd be more inclined to get him involved in eliminators.

    How can a guy who is 14-0-1 be fighting guys with 6-46 and 5-14 records in his last two fights? Pointless.

    Sort his promoters out ffs.

    because you've seen that much of Brophy to come to that conclusion?
    Your entitled to your opinion mate but I will tell you it's not a fight David will need to be asked twice to take

    im sure David has only fought one forgeiner who went good rounds with progka ex euro champ and David ko'd him in the first.
    Take a careful look and you will find most prospects records are like that, it's called learning your trade

    Not after 12 fights Billy.

    I guarantee I can find a lot of British boxers who fought comparatively better fighters at the same stage.

    Those sort of fights aren't doing anything for Brophy.

    No need to be like that is there. for what its worth I've seen brophy fight 3 times and if im brutally honest i am not convinced he will go very far. and before anyone starts yes he's already achieved more in the game than i ever will. but as i say, he doesn't impress me.

    If the fight is made then cracking.. as i have said for a long time it is a good fight,but i Stand by what i say.. blackledge on a wide points.

    i hope John wins but I really have not seen enough of Leon to predict a winner, don't think either punches hard so it could come Down to the guy who wants it most

    Just a pity it's not televised. Decent little card that I would have watched. I think Mckenzie will be out worked and behind on the scorecards going into the last couple of rounds. Fancy him to stop John late or get a hometown decision and get the win though.

    If anyone saw the IFL footage of the two of them discussing the fight over a table... you'll be hoping McCallum gets chinned.

    Search the words 'brophy' and 'boulden' on twitter, seems as though everyone who saw the fight disagrees with you. Bad decision.
