    Pre-Choi, it's not like you weren't shining anyway, Derry. You deserve a lot of respect for taking the guy on because nobody else wanted to. The Lindsay fight was going well for you as well before he landed. What do you plan on doing, then? A warm-up and then the English title again?:think:good

    At 25 you have the experience of a vetran which is a good thing as when he fights so of these up and comers he'll have been there and done it and knows exactly what it takes!! If I learnt anything from the amateurs it was that experience is a huge huge factor in boxing!!

    Derry has everything he needs to be a succesful fighter, Height,Good Jab,Power,Speed top conditioning and a great engine, I firmly believe Derry can still win a world title provided he is taken on the right path and fights the right opponents at the right time!!;)

    What happened in the Ramogoadi fight? It's his only loss that I haven't seen as yet.

    Too true. In an era of padding records, you certainly didn't try to con and swindle anyone- most importantly yourself. You've got plenty of experience already, though. Thanks for the answer, mate. All the best with finding a new promoter:good.

    Too right Tony

    I think Derry needs a few wins under his belt to get his swagger back

    Was it Michael Alexander, Neil?

    We have had that discussion before :lol:

    I think a move up in weight would help, he just doesn't look right at feather, IMO anyway.

    derry got caught and he stayed down under the advice from his corner and the refs count wasnt the same as the loudspeaker so he got up at 9 instead of 8 with nothing wrong with him and the ref called the fight, forgive me if im not 100% accurate as i only sen it live its on youtube i think

    What words exactly am i trying to 'put in your mouth'? You said it didn't look that hard for Lindsay in the fight against Matthews and I pulled you up on saying that because he was not winning the fight until he scored the knockout.
