    heard a rumour that McEwan is back in Scotland looking to kick start his career and that he will be training at the Fighting Scot Gym.

    Billy is this true?

    a bit soon maybe mate or slightly late, Barker I think is aiming at one more defence of the EBU title before a world title tilt.

    I wouldn't rule it out though, McEwan is certainly above British level, most certainly Euro class anyway.

    Really looking forward to seeing McEwan on British shores. He would be a good test for any good British proepect right now.

    I've had Craig in my gym and we've agreed to work together, he is a very talented lad and way above domestic level imo.Super fast hands and reflexes, he could fight for a world title anytime,although id like to work with him for 2 or 3 fights before we do that.

    I like Craig. Was gutted when he lost to Lee.

    Has he suffered any lost confidence since his defeat to Lee? Do you think you could work on his power? because Lee managed to get inside him and Craig didn't seem to have enough in the late rounds, or do you think it was more based on stamina?

    You will see a much much fitter Craig McEwan come his next fight,we've alredy worked on technical ajustments and the improvments have shocked Craig.ive not seen the Lee fight but ive been told if Craig were fitter hed have won

    Can you imagine the whoever becomes the next Chelsea manager not bothering to watch their last few matches before accepting the job.

    Bizarre level of professionalism, you have taken him on, had a few sessions with him, and yet not bothered to watch his previous fight against Lee, which is easy to find and most of us on this forum have seen.

    Incredible.
