Brian Hughes really rated him - said he could 'box on a handkerchief' such was his skill and level of reflexes.

Arnie would know - he must have trained with Dermody on the way up.

Any stories/memories of Dermody Arnie?

Craig Dermody really was a phenomenon. He was a different class. He racked up 13 wins in the pros and allegedly was one who in particular who was salivating about him. I know that I am biased but he had far more natural ability than Naz.

He was given a shocking decision in a fight against Karl Taylor, which didn't even look close and was so sick, he packed it in.
