He had lots of promise!

He lost to Luis Arias in first round of U.S. Future Stars (formerly USA Tournament) in the 165lbs division. This was in March. He had been invited to box in a Russia dual meet, but he was injured and didn't fight. He's just turned 18, so I'm not sure if he will stick around for '12 Games, but I would be surprised if he didn't turn pro by then.

Where is Hal to answer this question?

I would trake DC amateur's word for it; he's from the PVA too and would know what's up. Coach Hal is from the other LBC in MD, I'm not sure how heavy the interaction between the two is. But I'll ask some of my friends at my old gym when I'm back next week; one of them will probably know because he and Dominic are tight I think.

Yes, he is ok and in the gym. Nothing happened to him and he's training as usual. I saw him a few weeks ago at a local show.

Was he fighting? Any shows coming up soon?

Dominic has been training in DC and there is talk of future plans to turn pro. He is a talented fighter oops (boxer) and may wait a little while. Personally I think that taking it slow right now is a smart thing for him to do. There is no need for him to rush and make a mistake. He is still young. That's all I can say for now, anything else would be gossip and I refuse to do that.......unless you buy me cup of coffee at Dunkin Donuts.

Too many boxers are in a hurry to jump to the pro ranks. It is the same in other sports too. Dominic is talented and should stay in the amateur ranks at least for another year or two.
