    Although Campbell is a great technical fighter, Derry is known for dragging people into a dogfight. If the fight goes that way, there's only going to be one winner Derry by TKO.

    I agree. Campbell looks to be having confidence issues
    I think its poor matchmaking at this point

    Hopefully Derry still has a lot left in the tank. He can't definitely hurt Campbell but will he get the opportunity to hit him clean?
    Looking forward to it

    Nah maybe the old Derry Mathew would of but this version is faded I think he well do decent but end up getting stopped late. I agree however a good pressure fight will beat Campbell in the future.

    i think luke will win pretty handily, derry can drag people into a fight but campbell won't be drawn in to a fight for fear of being hurt. derry is on the slide too and this could be another factor where it will help luke

    Tommy Coyle boxed Derry's ears off and was very unfortunate to get caught. Campbell is a level above Coyle so I expect a UD (probably boring) victory for Campbell. I do agree that Campbell will lost to a pressure fighter soon, but Derry isn't the one.

    Agreed. Matthews is underrated. Will give Campbell a lesson.

    Campbell will absolutely school him for 12 rounds.

    Confidence plays a massive part in this sport and Campbell's looks as shot to bits as David Price's is/was. He seems terrified to take a punch and knows that his power won't hurt fighters unless he is far superior and can pick them off over and over.
    We witnessed this with the Mendy fight it looked like man v boy he just walked through everything he had which made it impossible for Campbell to operate at mid-long range.
    Derry is tough but he's been kod at lighter weights than this (probably weight had a lot to do with some of them) but I think he will come in showing no respect for Cambell's power and try to drag him into a war. Can Campbell earn the respect to deter Mathews from coming at will. If so I see Campbell UD. If Mathews feels what Luke has to offer and isn't phased I think Derry KO because he will not give him a seconds rest and still seems to have the engine to go toe to toe for 12.

    Campbell should win but agree confidence is shot. Whilst Campbell better than Coyle, Derry can cut ring off better than Coyle. Reckon Derry will drag him in and will be interesting to see how Campbell reacts when he takes a shot

    I think a Campbell UD with some uncomfortable moments for him. Looking forward to it though, hopefully it's entertaining

    Fact that hes been KOD a few times in sparring doesn't help with his confidants

    I think Derry has a great chance, Derry is a very solid puncher and Campbell's chin is very suspect in my opinion.

    Campbell will come through a couple of sticky moments to win wide on the cards.

    I agree he has confidence issues and Derry will try and rough him up at every opportunity.Campbell has shown that he can be fragile around the whiskers I expect him to box at range because one thing is for sure if Mathews catches him like Mendez did he will be jumping all over him to stop him.

    Would Derry have beaten Argenis Mendez though
