    I agree with you - but clearly the injury is relevant; he's not going to be able to perform regardless of any dubious tactics.

    Disappointed to see this is a 10 rounder..

    Good promoting from Frank and his boys if Derry can win this title. Slide him up through WBO rankings.

    Ormond is dangerous and showing it here. Fancy Derry to stop him mid to late.

    I do have concerns. Ormond does punch explosively and with his squat style and torque he gets he could Lindsay, Derry.

    Derry has to step it up here it's not 12 rounds and could find himself chasing this before to long..

    I'd say it's

    29-28 Ormond.

    Ormond started well with movement of feet in and out and high held guard and being economical with punches.

    Derry struggling with range but in 3rd started to walk Ormond down a little and landed left hooks to body to take round.

    Derry needs to concentrate on the body for the next couple rds as that will pay dividends later in fight.

    39-37 Ormond

    Fight is taken to centre ring with Derry starting round well but Ormond more active and landing some nice body punches and sneaky counters.

    Hotting up..

    49-46 Ormond

    I worry for Derry here. Looks flat and is to relaxed thinking he's winning rounds and is struggling to work openings.

    Ormond is moving all the time, offering nothing and he's working the body (shoeshining) and it's winning rounds.

    Derry needs to work off the jab and quicken feet up and as Terminator X said work the body more.

    Ormond doing well by denying Derry openings..
