Three medals for our boxers in the Olympics. Good to see a strong Limerick connection as outlined here by Andrew Carey. Darren 'the dazzler' Sutherland won bronze today. He has the attitude and skills to maybe really make a go of it in the professional world post Olympics. Interestingly, his bebo band page lists hip hop , r n b and reggae as music types and on his youtube channel his boxing highlights come with a hip hop soundtrack. While there may not be too much special about that, this musical interest inspired pure radio gold when Jimmy Magee came to describe it on Morning Ireland. Listen here.

Go on Jimmy!

Thanks for the linkback. It was stuck on an RTE stream which could have been lost forever, so I thought it should be preserved :-)
