If your talking Tommy v Kevin your mad mate seriously,Kevin is a fantastic left hooker and that's Tommys weakness,a good 8 rounder Tommy needs then maybe Curtis or Gethins they would be more even fights,in saying that Curtis did look sharp sat

Coyle showed himself to belong toward the top of the domestic class division; if you boxed again it would be bound to be a decent mix of styles and a good fight for the fans; you may even beat him more clearly.

Would he have given you a rematch if he'd won? I don't know mate. Probably not.

As for what you'd get out of it, a chance to defend your title. Possibly at home. If you got a good offer why not?

Coyle fought quite well in the fight although somewhere around the mid rounds he started looking slightly tired, but it passed and he appeared to get his second wind.
Matthews stuck to it though I'll give him that and produced a shot right out of left field.
Coyle shouldn't let his head go down, that kid fought well but Matthews experience caught him off guard.
Good scrap both boxers put on a decent show.

Derry's performance was well below average from start to finish - except for that wild hook that caught Coyle flush.

I think I gave him the third round and that was it.

But that's why we love boxing, because in a split second the fight can be turned on his head.

You have to be 'In it to win it' and despite being well down on the cards, Derry showed the tenacity to stick in there and take his lumps - and his reward was a KO win over a decent young fighter coming through.

A sweet, powerful hook from nowhere wrapped it up, just like that.

Coyle has nothing to be down about. He learned a valuable lesson and next time will be more patient down the stretch if the fight's in the bag.

Derry said himself had been working on the left hook all camp so its not lucky its boxing, i dont see any reason why Derry would rematch him unless it was the biggest money fight for him

Derry was ahead and stopped in a similar cirucmstance vs Martin Lindsey and there was no call for a rematch ,
