    How did you rate it? What did he do well and what does he need to work on?

    More back-foot work is needed MASSIVELY, IMHO. Callum kind of looked clueless in there when pushed back.

    More combo work as well I'd say. Fantastic shot placement and very good power, but more combos wouldn't go a miss.

    Anyone else think the size difference was a bit too much? Not long till Callum is fighting in the LHW Division. The kid is massive for SMW.

    Enjoyable fight, though.

    Supposedly he could make MW but that must be hard, SMW for a long time yet.
    Both he and Rocky are top talents

    I think he looked far from clueless, and his combo's were gr8

    He really did a good job. It was an entertaining match against a tough opponent.
    He showed he can take a punch and he got the rounds he needed.

    He's not ready for the big boys yet, but if he keeps improving, he might be next year.

    Decent opponent and decent performance from a young prospect. Done very well imo.

    Looked good to me against an opponent who was a lot better than any he's boxed before,but am I alone in thinking smaller ? Or has Callum grown? The guy was listed at five foot eleven on Boxrec. If so,Callum must be as tall as Tyson Fury.

    He's 6ft 3 so a huge SMW.

    He looks like a young Stephen Hendry.
