    met derry mathews @ the weigh-in for khan-st.clair and was impressed by his politeness and the respect he showed his opponent, who wanted a photo of them together, no eyeballing or threats. i also heard he phoned matt marshs' trainer on the eve of the pickering fight to wish him good luck! all in all seems a respectful polite young man, but i wouldn,t want to meet him in the ring!!!

    No fan of Derry , I did enjoy seeing Choi ruin him .

    But he is a popular fighter in parts so why not sign him ?

    Derry is a decent fighter who can still improve and take a few good wins domestically. I would not be surprised if he beat Lindsey and then Appleby by some margin. I think the guy has picked up alot of hate for some of his in ring tactics but I do not mind him going in that dircection. Outside the ring he seems a good guy.
