Max - how do you think Matthews will fare against Luevano IF he beats Foster Jnr?

[Max Molyneux]

Luevano will counter punch his head off.

Cook didn't have the stamina to keep up his aggression which was sucessful when he could. Maybe If Matthews has the fitness to pressure him considering he towers over the featherweights, he might have a chance eventually.

What do you think of the tactics Derry Matthews used in his fight with John Simpson?

I have to admit Derry was quite lucky i thought it should have been a draw, that early knockdown messed everything up for derry, when he got back into his ryhtm in about the 9th or 10th if i can remember correctly, he started to get simpson into some trouble but simpson would just hold. TBH i really thought it should have been a draw because simpson didnt do enough in my eyes to take the title

Simpson deserved a draw at the very least!

Simpson Vs Foster 2 for the WBU title would be entetaining.

If anyone deserves a rematch with Matthews after that original decision its Simpson.

If khan fight goes the distance it will be bollocks as Itv seem to show the main event first.
Then there wont be time to watch the SFJ fight, which is what i would rather see.

This bout will be chief support on the undercard of Khan v Kristjansen.

The pair previously fought in Oct' 2006 when Foster Jnr lost by UD to Matthews.

Foster Jnr has dropped back down to featherweight after venturing up to super feather against Alex Arthur recently.

So, who wins this one?

come head derry
i've trained with him and he's really sound i hope he gets the ko this time

[Dunky McCafferty]

Foster jnr is a beast at super-feather & a *****cat at feather, I cant believe hes dropping down again, especially to rematch a guy who already beat him handily.
Matthews to win by wide UD.

I wouldn't worry about the Khan fight going the distance.
