He has promoted and managed the professional debuts of some of the biggest names in Scottish boxing but Alex Morrison believes that Charlie Flynn's first foray into the sport's paid ranks has eclipsed them all.

The doyen of the professional game was the man who masterminded Ricky Burns' debut back in 2001, at the Kelvin Hall, when Burns' defeat of Woody Greenway prompted the great middleweight Marvin Hagler to predict that Burns would one day become a world champion.

Two years prior to that Burns-Greenway bout, Morrison had plucked Willie Limond from the amateur ranks and launched him on a career that would pit the latter against modern Amir Khan and Erik Morales, en route to the British light-welterweight title.

Morrison, then, is well placed to make a judgment on Commonwealth Games gold medallist Flynn's slick opening night points' victory over Ibrar Riyaz, at the Thistle Hotel on Sunday night. He says his opening bout was so full of promise that it has moved into a pre-eminent position in his mental scrapbook of memorable debuts.

"It was a really impressive performance from Charlie and I would probably go as far as to say it was the most impressive of the lot," admitted Morrison.

Flynn's manager continued: "When you consider that because he is the Commonwealth Games gold medallist, there has been an awful lot more hype and expectancy for Charlie to deal with, but he has taken that all in his stride and you can see that the punters love him.

"What I really enjoyed was the way that Charlie picked his shots, there was so much variety, he basically threw every punch in the book but he wasted none.

"Considering he is only 21 years-old it was a performance that was very mature and composed and I'm really excited about where we are going to go with Charlie in 2015.

"But I was also very impressed with Joe Ham [Flynn's Commonwealth Games team mate and fellow debutant], he has the type of style that is perfect for the pros and the fans will love the way he goes for it."

Projecting ahead to the New Year, Morrison is determined that no time will be wasted in building on Flynn's impressive start as a professional: "We will have Charlie back on in Glasgow in February and then he will be down south for a Sky Sports show, possibly in Manchester, the plan is to keep him busy throughout 2015 with maybe up to six fights.

"After a professional debut like that we want to build on it as quickly as possible, so we will let Charlie, and Joe too, enjoy their Christmas and then get them ready to go again in the New Year.

"But in terms of what I was looking for from his debut it was all there and what I thought was interesting was that if he had really wanted too Charlie could have stopped Riyaz but instead he chose to get the ring time under his belt and he paced himself really well.

"It was a great start but I have no doubt there is an awful lot more to come and that is great for Scottish professional boxing."

From ringside on Sunday one of the most impressive aspects of Flynn's performance was the way he was able to measure range, select the correct shot and administer it with unerring accuracy whether long or short in distance from Riyaz.

A six-punch combination unleashed by Flynn in the second round left seasoned observers drooling.

For his part the new darling of the Scottish fight scene admitted that he had learned a great deal from his meeting with Ryaz, a veteran of 74 fights.

Flynn said: "Once I stopped putting myself under pressure to get the knock-out, started to pick my shots, find range and just do what Peter [Harrison] told me too I felt a lot better," admitted Flynn.

"I was pleased with my jab after I'd settled down and also pleased with my body work, but there was an awful lot of pressure on me and I am just glad to have the debut behind me.

"But I have never been four rounds with a seasoned pro and for my first pro fight I felt I learned an awful lot.

"So I am looking forward to Christmas but I am determined to remain professional. So there will be no Ricky Hatton, no blowing up, this is the start of my journey and I need to be as professional as I can be."

With impressive undercard performances from Ryan Smith, Stewart Burt and a rejuvenated Jon Slowey, Morrison's stable is now looking stronger than ever.
