Crossroads ten-rounder next Friday @ Ulster Hall in Belfast, on ESPN+. IBF super featherweight European title on the line, 1st defense of McCullough. The lad from the Black North captured the belt in May by kayoing Declan Geraghty, a win that has lost a little of its luster since Archie Sharp repeated the feat in even more brutal fashion on the Dubois vs. Tetteh undercard last week. McCullough has a pair of victories that far eclipse any of Simion's best, albeit with asterisks on both (as Willie Casey and Dmitri Kirilov were badly over the hill when they faced him). Conversely, the handful losses on Simion's record (to Selby, Quigg, and Stevenson - all world class) are far more forgivable than any of McCullough's.
