    for the Scottish Featherweight title.

    the ref gave it 97-93, I had it 96-94 for Hughes.

    good to see Ricky Burns back in action as well in an exhibition fight against young Sean Watson :good

    Brophy scores a shut out 60-54 against Matt Scrivens.

    Jon Slowey decisions Pavel Sekovs

    Zander White wins a mini war against Mark Betts.

    Michael Roberts showed some class in a decision win against Robb Sharpe

    How do exhibition fights work? Are they like a glorified sparring session? They don't go on the record do they?

    In 4 or 5 fights time Roberts will beat any up and coming feather in scotland including Hughes imo.

    I wouldn't say so, Hughes took the 1st two rounds imo then Ancliff started applying the pressure trying to use his size to bully Hughes, but Hughes started using his boxing skills to pick him off and started to get a 2nd wind, thought he was slightly gun shy with his left hand. Every time Ancliff came charging forward he was ripe for the straight left.

    composed, boxed well, his opponent was quite slippy with the ducking and diving but Brophy kept the head and just boxed his way in. Good performance.
