    Happy for the fella. Remember when he packed it in and told us on here. Remember some lads being bit out of order if i remember correctly. I kinda felt he wouldn't be out for long and it's nice to see he's got some belief back and boxed lovely at times tonight and gritted it out against Choi.

    Well Done Derry!

    Yeah i knew Buckland would win...because Derry was gritting teeth against Choi especially those bodyshots.

    Buckland had early trouble with Bell so a fresher Derry may of been able to win 2 of the 3 rounds if he had it in his tank. But i think Buckland won the tournament soon as he KO'd Sykes (Early work, Adrenaline etc). Derry can go away from tonight with huge self belief. He also took some meaty shots to chin and seemed to handle them alot better then he used to.

    Certainly got some redemption tonight. Enjoyed his performances greatly and if it had the talent level of all the other prizefighters he probably would have won it. His battle with Choi will go down in Prizefighter history, the 2nd round was just ridiculous drama.

    Choi v Derry III over 10 next year would be fantastic :deal

    Am big Choi supporter but have nothing but admiration for the way Derry fought his demons. Although I thought choi maybe edged it in a way the manner in which Derry overcame the pyschological hurdle left me with no complaints. The spirit between all the boxers afterwards was humbling to see.

    The win over Choi really does cancel out the KO loss later the same night, oddly enough.

    Totally agree with what is being said. The mental strength he showed last night was incredible, was gutted he didn't win it
