Re: Scotlands Top Welter in action.....

Gary Young's grudge match with Colin McNeil finally looks set to take place on April 29 in Edinburgh in an eliminator for the British welterweight title.
The Scottish rivals have been slated to meet for some time now, but have been unable to get it on for a variety of reasons.
But with McNeil back after serving a suspension for a doping offence and Young raring to go, they will now duke it out at the Meadowbank Arena, Edinburgh.
Alex Arthur tops the bill, but McNeil-Young could be in the running for fight of the night.
Young, 15-0, is being hailed as one of the future stars of boxing north of the border, while McNeil was a five-time Scottish amateur champion.
He recently challenged Ossie Duran for the Commonwealth title, losing on points, while Young has never gone beyond eight rounds before.
