Mark McKeown hopes he’s done enough to put himself in contention for a title shot this year after clocking up a convincing points win over Engel Gomez at the Hydro on Saturday night.
The Coatbridge fighter was first up in the Josh Taylor v Jack Catterall undercard and had his Nicaraguan opponent on the canvas inside the first round – and feels he would have had him out the ring earlier had it not been right before the bell.
But he says the work he’s putting in at Keir Hardie ABC in Newarthill with coaches Barry Clark, Kev Morrison and Gary Smith is paying dividends in the ring.
