[crusader]

Matthews down on a body shot and his face is a mess

[crusader]

Foster steps and Matthews is stopped

[Old bones Ian]

Well the Italian looked good, maybe Derry could complain of an earlyish stoppage, but he looked banged up there.

Unlucky tonight Derry, but yet again you gave us a great fight

[Final round]

He took a shellacking but gave a fair bit and showed a lot of heart

[Exoddus]

Can't blame Foster for stopping it. Maybe Foster could have told Matthews during a break that he's close to being stopped. With that said. No complaints really.

[crusader]

It was a fine stoppage; Matthews stayed in there but he was getting battered.

[Jeff Thomas]

Sensational effort from Derry there - sure he'll come back again

[chiggsy]

Matthews always looks frail when stepped up in class.
Did his best though and gave a good account of himself.

Forgive my ignorance, who is Derry's manager?

Vaughns I think!

Cheers.

I read a piece by Dan Hunter on 'Crunchsports' earlier today; as it turns out he called this fight almost perfectly (he said 8, it was 7). For you gamblers out there, he's a pretty handy tipster is Hunter.

Read that as well. Very profitable read I must say.

unlucky Derry that boy was a bit of a banana skin.

[stujones]

Stoppage seemed oddly timed for me, not early as such but when there was a bit of a lull in the action - it looked like Derry had weathered the storm.

You really gritted it out there. Where's that Italian been..... got some real natural gifts. Don't think he will go much further his age is against him, plus I did think he was slowing up, I aint sure he is a 12 round fight.

Round 6 has to be remembered come December for round of the year, that was brilliant

[broomy7s]

Good little dust up that. Love it when a fighter comes to fight and isn't just there to boost a record. Thought derry dug in well and without the busted nose causing him problems would've had a good chance of taking him out late on. Can Derry box on tho with that nose, needs a long lay off, for it to recover.

Probably like most who watched the fight i'd never seen or heard of the Italian before the fight but after assessing his unbeaten record on boxrec which can either reveal soft or strong competition i got the impression he would win so not surprised by the result.

[fightscorecollector]

Was myself and Oliver but now its just Oliver after a fall out.

[Bard of Boxrec]

I really wish i paid more attention to pre fight odds.
