Tommy Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 A home win. McAllister landed a superb right hook one minute and 43 seconds into the third to lift the Commonwealth title that had been left vacant by Amir Khan. The Aberdeen Assassin impressed in front of a noisy home crowd in the city's Beach Ballroom and took the fight to his opponent from the start. McAllister has now won 29 of his 31 contests with the prospect of a money spinning all-Scottish fight against Gary McArthur for the Commonwealth title likely to be the next challenge for the Granite City boxer. Sowah went into the fight as the number one contender for the Commonwealth title and the current lightweight champion of Ghana with a record of 11 wins and three defeats. However this was the Ghanaian powerhouse's first fight in Britain and he had never gone beyond 10 rounds in his professional career. Sowah was stopped by Russian Rustam Nugaev in his only previous contest outside Ghana and never looked like winning this bruising encounter. It was a tentative start from both fighters, although McAllister began on the front foot and seized the initiative by landing a few early jabs. And the Ghanaian was looking increasingly unsteady on his feet in the second after being caught by a quickfire combination with McAllister upping his work-rate. And it was all over in the third with a fantastic right hook flooring the Ghanaian who was counted out. Link to comment
tutankamun Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 He will be on TV a few times afterwards IF he wins this fight, which I believe he will. oh great, more embarrassment for ABZ. Annie Lennox is bad enough. Link to comment
Old Wing Stand Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 oh great, more embarrassment for ABZ. Annie Lennox is bad enough.I wiz cringing listening to him on the supper time news, the world will be taking notice of him now and all that pish, really embarrassing Link to comment
Deanb Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 KO in for lee in the 3rd round. Well done to him for that and hope he takes a good fighter up her . Never seen him yet but would like to Link to comment
minijc Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Heard a guy in the gym saying the boy he was fighting didna look up to much and it was obvious lee would win, well done to him for doing so, puts Aberdeen on the boxing map. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Well done i suppose,for winnning. But the guy is an embarressment. I cringe everytime i hear/see him on TV. Link to comment
Deanb Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 yeah that side of him is not the best but he is from aberdeen and we dont get much boxers up her looking for belts. the guy he fought isnt just there for nothing he earned his title shot Link to comment
minijc Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 SOme would disagree, I think there are better more tougher fights out there he could have had. Link to comment
rgudon Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Well done i suppose,for winnning. But the guy is an embarressment. I cringe everytime i hear/see him on TV. agreed, did he not come on the pitch at pittodrie once with some bit part belt?? Link to comment
Deanb Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 SOme would disagree, I think there are better more tougher fights out there he could have had. yes course there is and people who know boxing will know it does not always work like that. the belt was vacant and those two fighters were put forward for the fight . now he has the belt he will fight bigger fighters he will never be a world champion as we seen when murray beat him but murray is a very good fighter. Lee is very cocky but sometimes thats good in a fighter . Look at David Haye he is the same and it adds something to the fight Link to comment
minijc Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I don't think Murray is a good fighter, if he was he'd have destroyed Lee from the start he never, he only got ahead once Lee Riled him up by patting him on his head. Link to comment
Deanb Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 yeah he did , i think it was the wbu belt which is nothing in boxing Link to comment
