    who wins ?? I think Coyle is very under-rated. He was robbed v Sykes and has looked impressive since.

    I think this has a classic written all over it and I predict the fight won't go the distance,coz both lads have a high workrate but not the best defences.

    There was a rumour going around that coyle got sent home from sparring at Billy's gym, Matthews seems to think he struggles with body shots so can see that being in his game plan. Someone getting ko'd

    Tommy is bang up for this , working hard in training and I think will surprise a few on the night. This is the fight of the bill for me easily

    He really should be up for it although i personally would have liked Tommy to do a few 12 rounders first,Derry is a very experienced guy and as done it many times that may be the deciding factor.
    Eithier way i think it will be a great wee fight good luck to both boxers!

    I'll be rooting for Coyle cos' he's ma hull boy, but Derry's a tough *******, and at this stage has far, far more experience.

    Should be a good scrap, it's for the vacant Commonwealth title and on the same night we have Richard Commey fighting Paul Truscott in a final eliminator for the belt. Interesting times domestically in the Lightweight division :think
