Andy Halder vs Darren McDermott

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 06 Oct 2005, 08:30

Scheduled this week for the Southern Area Middleweight title. Halder loses when he steps up (and is often chinned), but has beaten a decent level of opposition (i.e. Roddy Duran).

McDermott is untested, but been progressing well (although doesn't appear to carry the biggest of digs).

I've gone for Halder in the Prediction league, but not sure.

I went for McDermott on points, talking of Roddy Doran he drives cabs in Shrewsbury now for a living...a useless little fact for you

I agree Jacko - Macca looked like he can really go somewhere on the basis of this showing. I did a report for the show, you can see it here:

Good performance from McDermott. I'm not entirely sold on him yet as it is still early days, but full credit to him for getting into his stride quickly. Always a good move against a slow starter like Halder.

McDermott's got a great workrate on him and Andy really tried to get into the fight in the third round in particular but came off second best all the way through, and despite pulling out at the end of the fifth becuase of a damaged hand, Darren buckled him badly shortly before the bell.
