    Few years if they stay on the given track and not stray to the ways of the world , id say atleast 2 from your Co/Gym would make a dent in the sport in Steven Knox and Mark BoBo Brown :good

    Darren Traynor from my gym has the ability to go far but just needs to keep his head in the game!

    My brother Matty is also very talented and I would like to think he could also go on to achieve things.

    There are loads in Scotland that could go on to win a world title but if I am 100% honest I'm struggling to come up with one.

    Darren boxed all over the world as an Amateur with Scotland and beat an American and Puerto Rican to win the World Golden Gloves title. He should have been at the Commonwealth Games in Dehli but got himself into a but of bother and missed it.

    The Aberdeen boys should be out again in Aberdeen in June.

    3 very good boys from Edinburgh, I think Josh Taylor might have something about him when he turns Pro.

    I wasn't there either but I have been told by a few coaches and boys sitting ringside that Josh won pretty handily, one of them said Ball's pressure might have looked good up in the cheaper seats but up close Josh looked in total control.

    I'm sure both sides will argue their side but I only really like to make a real comment on something I have seen in person.

    Joe Ham was talking to Eddie Hearn this week about a Pro future after the Commonwealth Games, Lewis Benson is a decent Welter & Josh Taylor a good LW

    Joes a excellent fighter and i think he could do well in the pros,he spars regulary with pros already and more than holds his own
