Nice interview, maybe a bit too long for my attention span :oops:

From what I've heard from all the Olympians they all seem like decent lads and they will be a great addition to the pro game. Credit must go to the amateur system as well, although the bonus thing seems like a major cock-up particularly as they received more funding off the back of the medals.

I think he will be - although Jaffa is keen to express he is keeping an open view on things !!!

No need to be embarassed; you're hardly the first person to say that about a Dooley piece. And my oh my, this one must have set a new record! Maybe I'll print it out and save it for when I'm next on a long-haul flight.

Should have a good career as a pro- I hope he isn't overly "protected" IE matched against journeymen for his first 10-15 fights!

I'd like to see some of these up and coming fighters square off against each other at some point- would make for some really exciting fights.
