Elliot Foster sees McGregor overwhelm Allan to set up Farooq showdown LEE McGREGOR set up a potential showdown against fellow Scot Kash Farooq with a stoppage win over Scott Allan. The Edinburgh bantamweight retained his Commonwealth crown in a sports hall next to the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome at the Emirates Arena.
The fight, which topped the second night of an ‘MTK Fight Night’ doubleheader after Steven Ward and Liam Conroy served up a classic in Belfast 24 hours earlier [see page 18], began at a rapid pace, with McGregor taking the fight to Allan, who was stopped by referee John Latham after 1-45 of round eight.
