In complete shock - he seemed a very likeable genuine guy who i though was destined for the top .... just stunned by this news .

My thoughts with his family and friends at this time .

RIP Darren .....

 

shocked

 

still cant believe this, thoughts go out to his family aswell as frank maloney aswell as i believe he had a mild heart attack when he found darren and is currently in hospital.

 

RIP darren. He was a bright kid with a successful future in front of him.

 

I really want to know what drove him to end his life???? so sad, i was behind him fully!!

 

Cheers for that Slip :good

This is the sad thing with boxing...there isn't much of a support system where fighters can lean on in hard times...they get left to own devices between fights etc. Also the Machismo of the sport doesn't help at times...fighters feel it sign of weakness to say whats going on. Not to say this is same with Darren but i really feel our warriors need more guidance on all fronts....so they can leave ring knowing there life's good and it was all worth it.

 

I'm shocked. RIP Darren.

 

Just heard the confirmation. RIP, Darren. What a terrible shock.

 

really stunned R.I.P. Darren

 

I just got up and saw the news. I can only echo the statements that have been passed on by all the esb posters. This is truly tragic news and another sad day for boxing. I was a fan of the kid and was probably going to be a huge fan as I liked his style in and out the ring. I'm just stunned.

RIP Darren

 

Terrible shame. Someone mentioned that he'd hanged himself, if that is true then it is even more tragic.

sad news, poor frank finding the lad, and was treated for a minor heart attack at hospital himself, tragic news never fails to rock the boxing world recently :-(
