Mcallister v Sowah

[Ooft]

Anyone know if this fight will be shown on TV? I know fuck all about Sowah to be honest but really liked the look of Mcallister against Murray. I thought he won most of the early rounds in that fight until Murray made it his fight. Something about Mcallister though.....

....hope he comes through this one and gets a better profile.

[alba]

no mate there is no tv coverage of it .

[GPater11093]

[GPater11093]

dont think so he normally sits at ringside

[TheUzi]

What does everyone think of McCallisters plans to fight at Pittodrie?

Does anyone think he has the pull to get a half decent crowd in?

[MIK1000]

Don't want to open a can of worms but Limond vs McCallister must happen after this.

[GPater11093]

he wont pull any in Pittodrie it will look empty he wouldnt even fill the main stand.

the beach ballroom isnt even sold out yet!

[GPater11093]

[billy nelson]

hope lee wins and fights limond the two biggest ticket sellers in scotland possibly,some how i dont think lee would really want it?

[GPater11093]

Billy you going?

Limond vs McAllister @ Pittodrie

intrestingly they both have each others old belts

[D Coldwell]

Hi Billy, hope ya well mate!

Lee most def would want that fight providing he comes thru on friday.
Great fight that is, i like Willie, he's a good lad and a good solid fighter. . would be a great scrap!

Good luck with Ricky on the same night pal!!!
Give him my best.

[Dan MT]

I can't make it, wish Lee and his team all the best though.
His fights usually sell out no bother at the ball room. He even pulled a few thousand for the fight at the exhibition centre.

I think if he did fight at Pittordrie tickets would have to be lower priced but I really think he could sell alot if it was marketed properly.

[ohbrando]

I personally think a fight between two of scotlands best lightweights would fairly pull a decent crowd, either pittodrie or the exhibition centre. I`m sure whether its limmond, McArthur or Arthur, then they would take a crowd up with them too. On St Andrews day? Is it just me or can someone tell me why for example you see BBC sport advertising the likes of Limmonds WBU fight and McArthurs last fight but fights in Aberdeen get very little national coverage! Its a commonwealth fight for christ sake!
Anyway all the best Lee, keep the heeed and blow him away.

[billy nelson]

hi davey boy,thanks very much mate send my regards to all the lads in the gym please,lets hope lee wins for you then they can get it on,i know willies bang up for that or the british.take care.BN.

[Ooft]

if it was marketed properly.

Spot on.

I hope he gets through tmrw okay and gets a lot more exposure from now on.

[saturday_kid]

Spot on.

I hope he gets through tmrw okay and gets a lot more exposure from now on.

On that note imo I reckon McCallister is one of the most under exposed fighters at that level (british/commonwealth), certainly here south of the border, which is a shame, I like McCallister's style, what do you reckon?

Anyways hopefully he can win that commonwealth and that will get him more exposure, get on TV, some good fights out there. Him Vs Limond would be good, can imagine it'd be high profile up there in Scotland.

[GPater11093]

anyone going

Absolutely. I know very little of Sowah, but providing he gets through it okay tonight I hope this puts him in the public light a bit more.

[Ooft]

anyone going

Nah mate. Thinking of going to see Burns if you can buy tickets on door.

Aberdeen too much of a drive.

Be good to get a review though from anyone who is going.

:good

[tonysaprano]

hope lee wins and fights limond the two biggest ticket sellers in scotland possibly,some how i dont think lee would really want it?

Willy is a good wee fighter, but Mcallister aint a mug, I think he would take the fight in a minute. Sorry Billy but Willy aint a world beater and he is getting a little near his sell by date.

[bluenoseshf]

I hope Mcallister does win this fight purely so Mcarthur v Mcallister can be made and Mcarthur can take the title. Personally i hate Mcallister, he is overated and a mouthy C***. Iam all up for fighters being cocky if they can back it up (Floyd, Joe, Ali) but Mcallister has been saying how gr8 he is for ages and so far he has not proved it.

[GPater11093]

ill report back to you guys what i see

[HeavyT]

I think McAllister is a decent domestic fighter, and despite little exposure, has solid backing here in Aberdeen from the locals. Hope he gets the Commonwealth title tonight and we see some all-Scottish showdowns in the near future...

I think Limond - McAllister could pulla decent enough crowd at the AECC but not at Pittodrie. The place would likely end up a litttle empty looking, wheres as the exhibition centre could be packed full.

[GPater11093]

yeh Pittodrie would look empty. He would never fill it out its quite alot of seats you would get there, i think alot of current british boxers would struggle to make Pittodrie look full.

Aberdeen football club dosent manage it

the AECC would be perfect IMO

[ohbrando]

WOULD LOVE TO HAVE BEEN THERE TONIGHT, BUT OFFSHORE, GUTTED!

AGREE THAT THE AECC WOULD PROBABLY BE THE BEST VENUE AT THE MOMENT, BUT CAN IMAGINE THAT FOLLOWING THIS FIGHT THERE MIGHT START TO BE A BIT MORE INTEREST, THEN IF WE COULD GET THE TOP SCOTTISH FIGHTERS ALL ON THE SAME BILL ie, ARTHUR, LIMMOND, BURNS, APPLEBY,etc etc (WISHFULL THINKING!) THEN PITTODRIE COULD BE AN OPTION A BIT FURTHER DOWN THE LINE (AGAIN WISHFULL THINKING). JUST THINK THAT THERE COULD BE SOME EXCITING NIGHTS AHEAD.

unlucky mate.

i just got back

McAllister was great he boxed very well for the first few rounds and KOd the guy in the 3rd a great result. I saw it being filmed so you could probably pick up a DVD from Panda Rosa.

I was abit disappointed there was only 3 fights i was expecting more. And it was badly organised i was asked to move seats 3 times and each time i had been told to sit in the seat i was sitting it i got a bit pissed off. The only incident of the night happened in front of me where a bottle fell from the balcony and hit a persons chair. the person shouted up bt with no reply. But the ring announcer sorted it out and it turned out it was an accident but i doubt it.

Heres my take on the fights.

McAllister boxed a great fight from the first round he stood at a distance and boxed him with a great jab and brilliant movement. He stayed just out of range and slipped incoming punches or moved back and fired his own. He made Sowah miss alot but middway through the round Sowah landed a great right hand when McAllister was on the ropes. There was alot of clinching in the first round especially when McAllister got on the ropes.

The second was more of the same from Lee i think Sowah landed afew good jabs at the start of the round but McAllister came back and hurt him with a right hand in the middle of the round. Sowah looked more off balance than anything else and fell back onto the ropes where Lee let go with a combo that was really sharp. The crowd bayed for the Ghananians blood as he was against the ropes but Lee boxed smart and took his time picked his shots and didnt go all out. Sowah managed to survive till the end of the round but he looked like he had run out of ideas as he was circling round Lee with his left arm extended looking for Lee to come in and counter Lee with a right.

The third was the same Sowah came out with his left arm extended and looked badly out of ideas. He started throwing abit more but Lee just stepped back and made him miss, i was really impressed with Lees reflexes in defence they was sharp. Middway through the round Sowah with his back to the ropes came off the ropes with a 2 fisted combo but Lee calmly transferred his body weight onto his back foot and landed one of the best rights straight down the pipe i have ever seen. Sowah collapsed to the canvas. He didnt move the referee counted he got to '8' Sowah suddenly jumped up to his feet and didnt look hurt at all but the referee waved of the fight.

A great result for Lee, after the fight he mentioned his next fight will be at the AECC against Gary McArthur.

On the undercard was the super bantam weight Josh Wales. He fought a tough Bulgarian opponent Borov. I cant remember his first name.

At the start of the first Josh came out his corner and advanced towards Borov but took a hard jab from Borov and i thought this will be a good fight. Soon Wlaes started to take over with good boxing with a high worlrate and good body shots. Pretty soone he woppled Borov who held on with shaky legs till the end of the round.

In the second Wales came out to finish his job and started landing fairly early. At one point he threw a double jab which Borov countered with a buetifal right but he didnt follow up. Josh soon hurt Borov again who amazingly survuved till the end of the round.

The third was a good round. Borov came out and countered a Wales jab with his right but didnt follow up and fought defensivly the rest of the round where Josh was slowly breaking him down.

The 4th was one sided with Josh picking up the pace and forcing Richie Davies to stop it.

Wales looked good he threw good combos had a decent jab and workrate and worked the body well but did slap to the body afew times. Josh can grow into a decent fighter, one to look out for. james Ancliff was supposed to be his opponent but he pulled out so an Ancliff vs Wales fight would be a very very good fight to happen soon.

The opening fight looked great.

Joe C something vs Deano.

I cant remeber there names. I feel pretty bad. Please correct me

Joe the scottish fighter came out and landed a good shot but soone Deano landed crisp combos but Joe was always fighting back it was a great tactical and stylistic fight. I gave it to Deano though

In the second they got into the first clinch of the fight where unfortunatly Joe was cut badly and Davies called it off, it was a bad cut but it was looking to be a good fight.

[kosaros]

Really only 3 fights? Didn't the tickets cost £40 each?

[HeavyT]

sounds great man wish i could have afforded a ticket. cheers for the report :good:

[Robert]

[GPater11093]

[GPater11093]

was a good night.

Willaims vs McDermott 2 was a classic no atmosphere would have made a different

who dosent want to see 2 fatties hug each other.

[ohbrando]

I reckon were gonna see a few fighters keeping a wide berth from Lee now, following that performance. But hopefully in for some quality fights now.
cheers for the report mate.

[GPater11093]

it was the best i have ever seen Lee. he looked like a top biritish fihter with a performance like that

[MIK1000]

Joe Kelso it was. He was a good amateur.

[GPater11093]

Joe Kelso it was. He was a good amateur.


thats right he was 1-0 looked decent but that Deano guy looked good aswell. was shaping up to be a good fight shame about the headbutt

[Rocky]

Saw lee mcallister in the paper today, whats that hairdo all about :lol:

[martin0792]

lee Mc's next fight looks set to be with rival Gary Mcarthur, who holds a points win over him in the amatures.
