    Darren's Sutherland's father is from Saint Vincent Island in the carribean. Saint Vincent is part of the British Commonwealth. So assuming he could get citzenship beacuse he father was born there Dazzler could have fought for a Commonwealth title

    TBH I am more interested in when the Ukranian lad Lomachenko (sp?) is turning pro. He looked the dog's danglies in the Olympics.

    I always saw Egan as a scientific fighter working off the back foot.

    He threw very accurate punches but they were more for show than power punches. That's the way some fighters go with the computer scoring.

    He would have had to seriously change his style for the pros. I don't know if he would have the aggression or strength to be a top pro.

    He suited the amateurs and that's probably why he never moved on.

    Technically very sound.

    He's almost 3 years removed from when he should of turned pro. After claiming silver in the olympics his fame was at an all time high. That was when he should of turned pro. Fighting between Ireland and the east coast of America would of earned him a good fan base. Go for the euro strap and build himself a nice undefeated record before going for a world title. Whether he would/could of won is moot at this stage. He'll not amount to anything now.
