Some of the stuff on this thread has gone a bit far ain't it!! No matter how someone boxes in a ring remember it is a FIGHT and no matter how it goes all it's about is winning.. I think the personal stuff should be put to 1 side!! Derry is a really nice lad and you ask anyone who has had the pleasure to meet him!! Give the guy a break, By slagging him your just gonna drive him away and by doing that your just losing a very good opinion!!
Tony, I couldn't agree more, one or two cowardly personal cheapshots on here, i.e. 'Harry says hello' and 'chinny *******' etc are the words of faceless, cowardly little trolls and add absolutely **** all all to a boxing forum. In fact, if posters on here allow it to go unchecked we could have a forum without a lot of boxers, trainers etc, and it would be a poorer forum for it.
one of the best posters was driven away for this reason , jeff thomas , i used to love reading his opinion but now hes gone because of idiots slagging him off over his recor in the ring !!! ****ing joke
totally agree...but when someone makes a post ...is Derry Matthews shot ...we have to be honest in our opinion ,because Derry is and chinny ..which is a fact ...then derry starts saying he had my mother and she left her knickers at his place ....round my way you would get ironed out for saying that .
Correct. Recent threads like this are more than likely to drive away pro boxers like Derry Matthews and Willie Limond. I don't find it hard to be respectful to people, even if I am criticising them, so I don't know why others find it hard.
soft lad ur goin to slag me so il slag u back if ur goin to give stick out at least put you propper name on the site mate am here to make this site better and hopfully get more boxers involved but if ur goin to slag them they will just leave , good job i can take banter :happy
Good on you Derry for giving as good as you get. Some pathetic comments on here. People start insulting Derry and then moan when he insults them back Chin isnt that bad really, Choi walloped him to the body. That shot Lindsay caught him with was a real beauty. Didn't see his last loss but wasnt it a bit controversial. Just move up in weight Derry, I feel hungry when I watch you fight cos your so skinny!
Totally agree... I've never put on a pair and wouldn't insult any boxer who is brave enough to step into the ring. Sure we've all got the boxers who we prefer and those we dislike but to insult anyone is completely wrong.* * Except for Bobby Gunn, of course!
dont agree derry with you coming on and slagging peoples mothers (its knickers btw) and when someone says get a real job you think a pimp is one? have some class mate your never going to be able to win slagging matches with anon people on here- stick to speaking about the sport. fair play to tony bellew for raising those points; they are valid same also goes for fellas taking a pop at him for the sake of it, believe me it takes a lot of guts to even step into the ring never mind do it for a living in front of people and on tv and remember try not to say anything on here that you wouldnt have the balls to say to the mans face, otherwise your opinion dont count imo dont be stupid to say the man has a glass chin; hes being punched in the face to feed his family. On the other hand it is part of boxing and its as valid as saying that a centre back in football isnt great in the air or a fly half in rugby cant kick, theres no denying that. boxers have different levels of punch resistance and for their safety should fight at that level and maybe derry has found his as regards the punch from lindsay, im not too sure many fighters around at that weight could have worn that shot best of luck to you derry
Derry - Fair play to you pal but you shouldn't leave the forum coz proples opinion isn't as high as you expect. People should be allowed to voice their opinions on boxers (thats what these are forums about) yet people should be more respectful in the way they do it. Like Lee said, any boxer who laces up a pair of gloves and gets in the ring - whether it be for sparring or fighting - amateur or pro gets my full respect. I've done it myself and it hurts and you have to be dedicated like in no other sport so you have my respect pal.
Thanks Derry for supporting the Buncey campaign and I am looking forward to your next fight. I think a few things on this thread may have been said in haste, it happens. Better to let this one iie. dglass jaw is actually helping our Buncey campaign behind the scenes and is a real boxing fan. Like I said a few hastey comments on this thread.
