    I hope he wins but he won't. I think very wide UD to Abril, it's all about levels

    Hope Derry wins but he's not even a top 5 lightweight in Britain, massive gulf in class and only chance he wins is if he lands a big shot similar to the one which knocked out Coyle.

    Bet365 have it 5/6 both fighters. Surely it's easy money backing Abril.....

    Paddy power has 4/11 abril 2/1 derry, if derry was in the 7/1 range Id whack a tenner on it, not at 2/1, could be value in a Mathews KO though

    Abril wasn't bothered by punches from Lundy, Acosta, Prescott, Rios or Bogere, so I can't see Derry's power bothering him too much either, the guy is a lot tougher than he looks.

    Abril by late TKO

    Big fan of Derrys, seems like a stand up guy

    Hopefully he can make it a s****y affair and nick the win

    Anyone know what Abril's chin is like?

    He hammered Rios at a time where Rios was touted for big things

    Robbery of the year

    Were ppl giving Crolla a chance against Abril?

    Mitchell would have been a much better opponent for Abril than either Crolla or Matthews IMO.

    Good luck to Derry if any UK lightweight deserves it right now it's him.
