    Kadaria's never been stopped, so that should be interesting. Something to aim for, for feather fisted Gavin.

    DeGale's opponent has fought some Brit competition in Kevin Concepcion and Sam Horton. Stopped against neither feather fist. I think DeGale might struggle to get the stoppage he needs to answer the critics that he is not suited to the pros.

    BJ's has been stopped a few times.

    Are these the usual feather fisted Sports Network whipping boys for the Olympians to feast on, or can they actually fight?

    Damn I was expecting big punching KO artists with undefeated records as opponents for these guys on their pro debut..

    Attila Molnar - won 12 (KO 5) + lost 12 (KO 8) + drawn 6 = 30

    George Kadaria - won 5 (KO 0) + lost 3 (KO 0) + drawn 0 = 8

    Vepkhia Tchilaia - won 9 (KO 5) + lost 8 (KO 3) + drawn 0 = 17

    Well...a couple have a few KO's. And the one that doesn't at least shows signs of durability. Could be worse I suppose.

    Looks alright for debut material.

    Can't expect to learn that much about them at this stage in any case; it will take a good few fights to see how they adapt to the pro game and what their prospects might be in the long run.
