All 3 have a small chance of nicking a bronze, none of them will win Gold.

[Pugilist-specialist]

Sutherland can fight. He beat James Degale.
He had 5 years with the Ingles , a deal with FW but chose to return to Dublin

He's beaten DeGale 4 times out of their 5 meetings. DeGale beat him in the first Olympic qualifier, Sutherland beat him in the last 2 EU Championships finals.

Was a little disappointed with Sutherland at the Worlds in Chicago, thought he looked a little stiff and one paced. He has the size and punch to go far as a pro but will do well to get near a medal in Beijing.

Nice start from egan winning 22-2.,

[Gray-Fox]

Egan should get a medal. The weight is weak, and he is very good.

[Old bones Ian]

there is a few at light heavy who look decent, that lad (name?) who just beat the world champion looked very good.

[TerribleTerry]

easy to forget that egan is still only 26 - he seems to have been around in the international scene forever..

with the resurgent pro scene in Ireland he could maybe take a crack at the pros after these games?

Yeah he was nice and sharp wasn't he? Made the reigning world champ look sloppy and out of sorts.

The croatian who forced a stoppage wasn't bad either..

He says if he medals he'll turn pro, if not he'll stay on for the European Championships at least.
With the way the draw has gone he's in with a good chance of a medal.

The Cuban who beat Jarrod Fletcher looked good too. Was that Middleweight though? I wasn't paying attention.

Tony Jeffries is at light-heavyweight, is that right?

[gkt999]

Yes, the Cuban was middle.

Was very impressed with Egan, showed great skills and poise. Should do very well.

How much did u put down then?

[bigped]

COCO I put 100.00 each way on kenny at 66/1 and 50.00 each way on darren and a 20.00 double,

so aslong as kenny gets medal il get 1700 i think and if he wins gold 8500..

Kenny is fighting tommorow and on the schedule it says 15.15pm what time will that be for us???
