Derry is a credit to boxing, he'd fight anyone, I beleive if he lands clean punches he's got a great chance of a stoppage

He'll always have a punchers chance against most opponents to a certain level,would love him to win but probably had one or two too many hard scraps now and most likely lose on points.

not looked at the odds yet but expect Derry to be a pretty big underdog.

If Campbell wants to make a major statement e should try to force a stoppage.
I know Derry is a tough old bird nowadays but Luke wants to keep the pressure on & go for a later round ref intervention.

Think this is a really interesting fight, loads riding on it for both lads and it's been totally respectful, looking forward to it. Credit to Campbell for taking it.

This could be the best fight on the card. The only thing that ruins it for me when derry is fighting is his shoulders. it troubles me to see shoulders of such stature on a man of his weight. It looks like they have been stolen and transplanted onto him.

I think Matthews has a chance no doubt. He has home advantage, experience and power and that's a dangerous combo for someone on the way up like Campbell. Wasn't impressed with Campbell against Mendez so it's going to be interesting to see if he's improved any under Rubio. Campbell needs a big performance tonight. I'll go for Campbell late KO or clear points but not with any confidence.

Going against the grain here, I fancy Derry for this by stoppage. Hoping Campbell wins and gets back on track though.

It depends how much Derry has still got going for him, I don't know if he left something in the gym against Flanaghan or was it a sign that all the hard battles are catching up with him? Probably the most interesting bout of the show, on paper.

He's got a good chance I think, Campbell doesn't appear to be particularly durable to me.
