Sadly I didnt get to watch the 3 olympians this past week..
Is there a link to the fights anywhere?
p.s I take it none of them were hugely impressive?

I thought frankie gavins fight was entertaining, billy joe saunders was probably the most impressive, degale was just a bit of a let down, he built himself up too much imo.

Saunders, Sutherland and Jefferies seem to have the most potential at this stage, Gavin impressed me after getting that nasty cut from the head clash, definately an entertainer, degale has the most amateur style out of all of them, backhanded jabs etc....

its seems time will tell!!

Its safe to say that Sutherland would destroy DeGale at the professional level

I think degale is meant to shine against better opponents......so he says......time will tell....

I like that as well!

Darren Sutherland looks like he is going to get somewhere,and probably a lot quicker than the others.I think its a bit harsh getting too heavy on the guys last night,it was their first outing after all.Something to consider though is a point that Lennox Lewis made,and that is that when he started out as a pro he did it fighting in small halls with not much tv exposure and hype,despite being an olympic gold medallist himself,without all the razzamatazz that we saw last night.Take Degale for example.When he was stood there with the laser show and all that bollocks going off behind him,he looked like he was ****ting himself.I would have thought that promoters would have learnt from the experiences of Audley Harrison and Amir Khan.No fighter starting his pro career should be starting it top of the bill,they should be fighting at the bottom without immediate exposure,and fighting as regularly as possible.

Great post. Couldn't of said it better myself.

Michael Maguire is the best out of the lot. He fights under Hayemaker promotions so he hasn't had a lot of publicity, but he is really good. Reminds me of a Bantamweight Mike Tyson.
