    Well earned for Farooq. He'll get the exposure his talent and work ethic deserve. Hopefully he gets the McGregor rematch in the near future too. Looking forward to seeing how his career unfolds.

    Great - hopefully won’t be on the back of more robberies with a decent promoter behind him.

    Good signing but that’s the end of boxing for BBC Scotland.

    Right on, Lee McGregor looked like a skeleton on the scales and then on fight night he had re-hydrated waay past Bantumweight, he probably added about 15 to 20 pounds. Farooq, maybe only 5 or 6 pounds. The height and size difference was something to behold. Nevertheless McGregor was running all night and clinching like he just met his daddy for the first time.

    Great news. This is what Farooq has earned and deserves. Now he will get the exposure and recognition that he has worked for.

    I hope he gets put on the Sky cards because he is exciting and enjoyable to watch. Remember that jumping left jab/hook that he landed on McGregor all night, that's what we want to see.

    Great signing, first time had seen Kash when he fought McGregor and was very impressed. Now he's got good backing behind him, he could be progressed very well and be in some big fights.

    Very young still so he's got plenty of big nights ahead.

    Regarding McGregor he may of been a lot bigger but the fight was similar to Ryder vs Smith in style.

    You can tell the weight drain has an effect on McGregor, Kash looked snappier and stronger at the weight.

    McGregor will go the way of Smith if he stays at the weight too long.
