I did pick Curtis and posted post fight that I underestimated you Derry.
You were as you stated pre fight on a different level.
Was Curtis finding his way into the fight? I think yes he was .
He had taken alot of jabs trying to get in close and bang you on the button.
For me it was always a question of who connected flush.
Your superior skills were evident and the finish clinical.
But those who picked Curtis myself and probably Curtis himself did so thinking he would weather the storm and
get in close and BANG.
Which is what happened only not quite as planned
It reminded me of Smith /Buckland you both had thrown the combo 3 or 4times previously and then booyah.
Was a peach of a shot
Did I underestimate you yes apologies
But I dont think I overestimated Curtis No if he had had a better start moved like he did in the 3rd its a different fight.
