Gethin vs Mathews RBR

[JayMc]

couldn't really split them in the 5th - better shots seemed to be landed by Mathews but I'd call that one even

[Autobarn]

not the usual lightweight barnburner, then?

[iamasadlittleboy]

Decent fight but Gethin looks too predictable

[black panther]

Pretty darn good fight in my eyes! Good shots landed by both in that round.

[JayMc]

heating up now some good punches landed by both but Derry just doing more and landing some nice uppercuts

I've got Derry 5 rounds up now

Gethin very one dimensional

[Ian1973]

To echo what others have said, Gethin far too one dimensional, not enough quality.

It's a decent enough fight to watch but Matthews way ahead. Gethin probably needs a knockout.

[JayMc]

couldn't split them in the 7th

[handsofstone]

8-0 Mathews

[TheCobra]

So one-sided, Gethin looks like an English title level fighter and no more, very average in all departments.

[JayMc]

I'd have to give that round to Derry again - Close one but better punches landed

Derry miles ahead on the cards - Gethin looks totally out of ideas

[handsofstone]

Gethin's best round that

[JayMc]

Think I'd give Gethin that round on work rate alone. not a lot of clean shots landed

[JayMc]

Again better from Gethin but nothing of any significance

10-10 round again

[ttornado]

Derry only needs to keep off the ropes and jab, then fights his now.

[JayMc]

hard to split them again 10-10 for me

Great performance from Derry or very poor from Gethin? hard to decide really

[JayMc]

last round to Gethin - Derry quite happy to spoil and hold.

[handsofstone]

118-111 Mathews

[TheCobra]

Derry 116-112 for me, gave a few rounds to Gethin on work rate when Derry was spoiling a bit, but all too little too late. Bit disappointing really I was expecting more drama and it was a fairly comfortable nights work for Derry.

[Matt Teague]

Sack that MC fornicating shite

[JayMc]

How the hell did anyone score that fight to Gethin - what fight were they watching

[Glass Joe]

Mc what a load of rubbish

[Ian1973]

Split decision - HOW THE HELL??????????????????????

As for Stewpot the MC - he's an embarrassment, couldn't even read the scores properly.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Get that useless baldy pudendum tae fornicate.

How hard is it to read off a card???

[handsofstone]

Stu-pot made a pudendum of the scores but Mathews wins a SD

[TheCobra]

Well the announcer cocked that one up. Not sure where they got a split decision from! 8-4 seemed fair to me, a few rounds to Gethin on workrate but that's that.
