SBG teen James Gallagher claims impressive win on Bellator debut

‘The Strabanimal’ secured victory by unanimous decision against Mike Cutting.

SBG FIGHTER JAMES ‘The Strabanimal’ Gallagher had a Bellator debut to remember tonight, claiming a unanimous decision win against Mike Cutting (6-6) in London.

Gallagher (4-0) impressed in the bout and was deemed a 30-27 victor on all three judges’ scorecards at Bellator 158.

The Tyrone featherweight, who this week has been dismissing comparisons to Conor McGregor, opened the Spike TV event at London’s O2 and reinforced opinions that he has a big future in the sport.

The 19-year-old made his professional debut last October and had previously won all of his three fights by first-round submission. And he is already targeting a world title shot within his next five fights.

Coach John Kavanagh was clearly impressed.
