Yeah true about the weight, think he has the style to adapt to the pro's though.
Im sure i saw him boxing at the commonwealth games on the BBC. Very unorthodox and tricky if its the guy im thinking of. I imagine he'll have to go the same route as another little 'un, Don Broadhurst, and get a few European imports in while he's learning the ropes.
You never know, the two of them might meet for European or maybe world honours down the line, those couple of divisions at the bottom are hardly crowded with talent.

Though we in this country don't have much talent below Bantamweight in Mexico, Latin America along with Asia it's stacked with talent. Because they don't get the same coverage as the higher weights people assume that the division's are weak.

The first thing that struck me was the weight. Whether Nasir can get the fights may be a problem. Good luck to him though and new talent is always welcomed.
It's going to be an exciting time after the Olympics with all the fighters inevitably turning pro with various offers and promoters scrambling for signatures.
The worrying factor for me would be if Mo has to move up weight to get fights, or even worse, if he has to fight heavier lads just to get match ups. I believe thats why Chris Edwards' record isnt quite as good as it could be.
I was fairly impressed by him at the commonwealth games, certainly had a very different style but that style left him off balance a couple of times and it wouldn't have taken too much to knock him down.
