Thought derry won the 3rd....just

Derry's conks gone again. marsili punishing him

Mathews goosed,i'll give him another 2 rounds max.

Derry rocks Marsili in the sixth both fighters cut

Matthews down body shot. Up just at the bell.

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

Foster steps and Matthews is stopped

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

how did you all have the fight at the time of the stoppage??...i had it 4-2 marsili or 58-55 with knockdown.

i gave mathews the 3rd just and the 5th clearly

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

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