Where now for Derry Matthews?

[thepocketrocket]

It only seems last week when Derry was beating John Simpson for the WBU title! He was a big name in Liverpool, the world seemed is oyster!

Now he can't buy a win, it's a shame!

Why has this unfortunate turn of events occured?? And where can he go from now?

[hurlock]

asda's?? he can continue,but his prospects are low.

Well, he has now had three proper stoppage defeats- the stoppage against Harry Ram was somewhat debatable.

He might be in a position to come back, or act as something of a "gatekeeper."

Time will tell.

I suspect the m in your sign on stands for minus.
Minus 1980 is about your IQ.

not the best insult but it gave me a giggle

[mickycv]

back to notty ash where he might just beat a diddy man

I felt bad for Derry last night, I was willing him to win - but in fairness to Lawton he looked the sharper and more accurate puncher and was very good value for his win. Not sure were Derry goes from here.

was it a fair stoppage not seen the fight yet, guttted for Derry would rather him retire than become just a name on a prospects record. He's not been same since choi that looks to have taken away his resistance shame looked set to have a really good career

Yeah it was a fair stoppage. Derry remained on his feet but Lawton was teeing off and the ref timed it well.

[Counter-puncher]

I am really glad for scott lawton, decent boxer and nice fella

[Tommy Gunn13]

End of road for Derry im afraid....

[Autobarn]

scott lawton's done alright for himself. those are solid wins over matthews and gethin.

[Autobarn]

was lawton televised?

[jBacca]

Felt sorry for Derry. From what i saw he was landing the neater shots. Lawton looked big though, and i always felt he was gonna' be too strong for Matthews.

[Counter-puncher]

gotta say, things don't seem nearly as easy for Derry now he isn't duffing up smaller men at 126lbs

[alexpaterson]

Lawton looked massive at least a weight bigger. Felt sorry for Matthews 4 stoppage defeats I think he may retire

[whatashambles]

First fight with Hatton promotions, wonder what his contract was....

[stujones]

Lawton did look bigger, amazing to think Super Feather is a possibility for him. He only weighed 9st 5.

i didnt catch the fight does anyone no if its on a website or anything? i wish derry nothing but the best in whatever he decides to do. and a good win for scott lawton with that win and the gethin win a title shot in the not so distant future both nice lads

[Horse]

His move to Super Featherweight has so far been a disaster, with stoppage loses to Ramogoadi and Lawton.

He might be better off going back to Featherweight, if he still can.

He also needs to comeback against low level journeymen, before attempting to fight any other contenders again, in my opinion.

[whiskey]

His physical advantages have deserted him since he stepped up in weight.

Personally, i think he's got to get the advice of a conditioning expert, someone like Kerry Kayes and try to bolster himself.

He was like a match stick at times and Lawton is no Valero !

Fair play to Lawton though, decent ish name on his record.

wel he sound and wotevr he does he b sound
