Maloney signs Sutherland - NOOOOOOOOOO

ah its not too bad, just thought he was better off going over to america to ply his trade there, first fight is in dcu dec 18th, probably in their basketball arena i presume
and sky have his fights, im really excited about darrens career, he is a great guy and havent heard a bad word said about him from anyone which is not the same as what i can say about degale
i wonder how much the deal was worth anyone know figures

 

He looks like he has a good pro-style, and he also packs a punch. I can see him doing well in the paid ranks.

 

You rarely see a chin tested in the Am's but I'm told he has a good hard head to go with his punch power. Should come up to EBU standard at the very least. I'd expect him to starch his first ten or so opponents (if he is brought along as I expect he will be) fairly easily, though, so it might take a while to see what he's really made of

 

Darren has the potential to be a huge star in both Ireland and Britain, following in the footsteps of Collins and McGuigan.

 

He's a good prospect, least he never signed with warren.

 

can't wait to see him in the pro's....seems as though he'll be a good pro in an out of tha ring!!?....

 

This was my first thought!

 

i think he would know better

 

Mine too.... least we might see him in a meaningful fight before he reaches the last 24 months of his career.

 

That was a bit low

 

yeh he looked decent. but he is coming into the game late. Maloney will get him to the states.

 

The Irish fighters are always very popular in New York.

I know Maloney was looking to get some of his fighters on the Hatton card - after that I am not sure when another Brit fighter will be headlining across the pond.....

Perhaps there will be a few undercard slots on GBP cards where Maloney can work his magic

 

He has an excellent pro style. With the right trainer he could go far.

 

Sutherland will go further in the pro ranks than Degale ever will. He comes across as down to earth and a humble chap. None of the Degale b/s arrogance.

 

I'm excited about Sutherland turning pro. He has shades of a Miguel Cotto in him. He is well schooled with some fantastic moves.
