Never forget sitting next to him in the MGM Grand eating a Skillet for breakfast on the Sunday morning following his debut on the Barrera/Juarez II undercard. Ian Dark was on the table to our left and McEwan was sat the other side of us with his Mum. I found it quite amusing to see him with him mum but I guess he was quite young at the time.
antcall, thanks for the link to the fight, I missed it myself but my pal got to watch it live thanks to your good self:good he said that he was surprised that Craig chose to box most of the fight in an orthodox stance as he is a natural lefty & he was very impressed with McEwans speed & power. Anybody else watch the fight live on the link, & what did you think about it?
Baronbrad, It was his girlfriend , Sally`s mum , who you saw that morning. Jim Watt was sitting nearby and asked Craig "does Freddy let you switch like that cos if you did it in my gym I`d kick your arse!" Gracious or what! Craig is a class act though, pure entertainment, and getting stronger all the time. Is there any way I can watch a recording of the fight on line? I`m not very good with the old computer thing but I can click on a link!
