Flash was letting Derry hit him at will because he wanted to set up his own punches; Derry's punches didn't have any effect on Flash anyway...so he could afford to do so...
Even when Choi's hands where up he was getting hit, I doubt It. I think thats Choi's regular style of fighting.
go and watch the first 3 roundof Hatton-Magee.....try and tell be Vann didn't save Hatton in one of those rounds. It was very clear and biased.
Wow, Choi was a little warrior. He was going for it from the first bell and Derry looked scared! The ref was really helping Derry out aswell, I didn't know the WBU have the 3 knock down rule in a round. But Derry looked really tired, in the second round he looked gassed. Warrens face when Derry kept getting knocked down was a picture. Seems to be a year for Warren losing fights.
Matthews was very honest in the post fight interview I thought, it was a good fight, kudos to the little mongolian. Warrens face was a picture during the other undercard fight too, Corra was it?
Choi reminded me of a more ring smart version of the martinez guy that starched dunne and got beat by munroe. Matthews had the height and reach to do what munroe did, but stupidly tried to trade with him far too often, even when he was hit and hurt he tried to fight fire with fire, which is crazy given that choi had never been stopped and derry is not exactly a big puncher, aswell as being a bit chinny.
Max your boy got whipped tonight. justice has been done now Simpson is still british champ on the verge of winning the belt outright and a shot at the european title. weres derry going to go now???
Dunno where he'll go thats up to him. He wasn't outboxed, just out powered and strengthed, not a whipping there. As for Simpson he wouldn't be British champ If Derry had chosen to fight for his belt Instead of the WBU and was clearly beaten still, It wouldn't of been close If It wasn't for the point deductions and knockdown. I would of agreed with a DQ winfor John but since Derry didn't get DQ John lost clearly as Derry landed more. John was the agressor but you score cleaner punches not agression. If John struggles with the likes of Al Hamidi like he did then Choi would beat him too and he would not win the European. He will beat Appleby because Appleby ain't ready yet and Is being rushed though. Derry deserves credit for fighting a guy whos ducked though and gave a good try, he can learn from this and come back from It, he Is better than Simpson and the other domestic featherweights.
I know he lost and was knocked down 5 times and Ko'ed you dumb haggis muncher. I said Choi was winning too because of the knockdowns. Just because I say something doesn't mean I'm making excuses, Choi Is crude but strong and powerful and was easy to hit with the straights. Some Scottish posters need to stop having a chip on their shoulder and grow a brain. I say this about the ones who have a lack of respect for my opinions only though.
Max, yeah, Derry deserves credit for fighting Choi. But Choi is much better. Outboxed him? You mean, stuck an ineffective jab in his face a good couple of times and cought him with some ineffective haymakers. Choi laughed at that, keps on walking forward and beat Derry up badly...badly...breaking his morale big time in the process. Choi was much superior. He will be hard to beat, even by a world-class level boxer.
