Good on you, didnt get to see it but the British next? You've had a couple of great wins. No-one would have picked you doing unsworth on the 1st.

he just gettin back in the swing of things by the looks of it wantin the big stage again and deserves it as well the way he went out there last night mind

Derry will be back in title contention in not time. I would not be surprised if he were to get at the British at either SFW or Lightweight in the near future I think managed correctly he could end up getting a shot at the Euro at SFW if he so wished and then who knows. The key for Derry is to get him into th right fights and he will excel.

he has ruled out sfw mate light weight he stayin

Based on last nights solid performance Derry would certainly give most LW's in the UK a hard time,when the Corolla fight happens it will me mega tough to call but imo Derry's experience and natural strength advantage will tell.

Derry looked class last night, put his shots together well, very fast and accurate. Made up for him.
Well done son

Is there any chance of Matthews vs Tseveenpurev III over 10 rounds?

It might not be a sensible risk/reward fight, but their PrizeFighter bout was possibly the best PrizeFighter fight so far and I would like to see it.

Derry will never box at super feather again.

Okay, I didn't think the Tseveenpurev fight was very likely in reality.

Why not? I know he is more solid at lightweight but he made the weight for prizefighter and he looked good at the weight. I just thought that title opportunities might arise at 130 that could tempt him? If he was offered a Euro shot against that Belgian Fegatelli would he not take it that would be a great and winnable fight for Derry

Defo not, not for all the money in the world its too hard to make s/f.He,s a big light weight so thats where he'll stay.
