    Collins is fighting McKay for the Scottish, I have tried to make a fight with both of them, why do you think there promoters has refused a fight with Lewis for them David?
    We have a Area title holder in Ronnie do you now class him as a journeyman many do

    has you should be aware its not all about power, Kenny obviously was a big puncher but lacked speed of hand and feet, something Brophy possess
    Brophy has a massive engine in him and can use that to his benefit, delighted he has this chance to showcase himself, if your gonna do it, do it on ppv and in front of 20,000 at the 02

    A journeyman on the brink of a British title shot? Was Jonny nelson a journeyman or Sean Dodd? Is Ricky? U look at records and automatically talk pish, split from Troy and a defeat from
    Cacace means he's a journeymen. Craig Evans was a farce. See when you argue with David don't insult Ronnie and if u want to bring him into it say it to his face cause he isn't on here to answer back. Go as Ronnie his opinion on brophy, really likes him. I think maybe that's where u can tell their the fighters and ur not, they show
    Massive amount of respect for fellow fighters. I would rather have a real record than a patched record against nobody's and that's a path Ronnie chose. Everyone he has fought has fought at British level some have held titles and hes never in a boring fight!! Very important cause more than likely I will nap at this show on sat

    in real terms he's no nearer a British title shot than before he boxed Jordan, at best an eliminator, then final eliminator, then hopefully the full title.
    I'm basing it on when your near eliminator status he losses, that's what his record say Jaime FACT

    No,no you've got me wrong... I know if he's beat by George it's only really a matter of 1-3 fights until he's being talked about for title fights, what I mean is . Say David gives a very good performance, goes distance or at least late on (which tbh he's not expected to BY the general consensus) then after a good performance , the rest of the domestic lads (namely Blackledge/ winner of Smyle / Cameron) well they aren't going to want to know are they as he will be deemed high risk having give George a tough night.

    So he may find offers dry up if he performs well.
    Yes it's an excellent platform,but where does he go after because There's a chance the other lads will look past him if he does ok...if he loses early I don't think will be case - good expierence/pay / publicity etc so can't go bad..

    gotta laugh at you billy, FACT is that ronnie clark and mike towell are both closer to the british title than lewis ritson or david brophy. maybe both lads from dundee will fall short at that level but neither david brophy or lewis ritson with the opposition that they have faced so far have proved that they will ever compete at that level either :good

    i hope that all of these guys go on to win british titles and go even further but for billy to just say that because you have lost at a certain level in the past means you will again is just sniping :patsch

    Good on him by testing himself and getting a payday to go along with it.

    i make my assessment on the FACT Ronnie has lost not won lost each time he's neat title level, it's no slur because Ronnie Clark is a guy who unlike so many would fight anyone.
    David Brophy has served is apprentaship now and has the chance too prove he deserves to fight at this higher level

    Because Billy gets into arguments with daviddee and then brings Ronnie into it, pretty much sums it up, he bangs drums for his fighters and we bang drum for Ronnie so there is a clash, he has fell short at times but end of day he was robbed against British champion Ryan Walsh. Also against Craig Evans. Troy James was close and he was beaten by a very good Cacace . Such a journeyman ha

    Very proud of the laddie from the rizer, as someone said earlier he takes an easy fight he's a bum, takes the groves bout and he's cashing in �� brophy can't loose here. He may not not be most experienced fighter but his dedication and graft has put him in the running go for fights like this. All the days a pounding the streets and helping Ricky has helped him get his dream and so funk if he looses, he will scud a good chunk aff the mortgage and go again ��

    Also Billy telling Ronnie to move up to lightweight to fight Ritson if you want the fight lose the 4lbs at super feather be won't turn that down. Usual answer will come
