dirty derry done and dusted

Well, I'm not a bitter scot and I firmly believe Simpson deserved a draw at least against Matthews.

Continuing the scottish theme, this Choi win makes Willie Limonds victory over him a few years back look even more impressive.

I'm no fan of Matthews but I never rejoice when a british boxer suffers what was quite a humiliating defeat. He looked really devastated when talking to the cameras afterwards but made no excuses so credit for that.

 

I got to say I dunno if Derry will ever be the same , that had career-ender written all over it. That last knock out and then crawling round the ring... last time I saw that it was Mike Anchondo and what happened to him.

 

So because Derry decides for the 1st time in his career to step up and fight a decent fighter he should get credit??? John has did that all his career. hes fought champions Dazzo williams, your boy Matthews all in there own back yard. hes came to london to fight Foster Jr and even once he had came to england and won the belt he still had to come back down to London to defend it twice against ryan barrett and andy morris.

derry could learn 1 thing though John has came back much stronger from his defeats and made him a much better boxer.

Aa for Appleby being too inexperienced What about Matthew Marsh?? he isnt even a featherweight and still gets a shot at a supposed world title in like only his 10th fight??

 

Some Scots jump on Derry but were defending Simpson's second fight against Morris when that cut wasn't enough to be stopped. Not for the 1st time, he beat Foster Jr on 2 weeks notice which your boy Simpson couldn't do and Derry beat him easy.

Matthews needs to learn not to trade as I was suprised he lacked the strength despite being 5ft 9 which Is big for a featheweight. He needs to defend against hooks more too and thats what Simpson knocked him down with.

 

Not seen any Interviews with him blasting off.

Dead at the weight yet was only 9st 2 at Super Feather? Arthur should of battered a come forward fighter like Foster though, Guzman's going to paste Arthur and I like Arthur.

 

Mathews was outboxing the guy that much he only got decked how many times?

 

aah. another one to add to my huge list of people I am going to come in & laugh at when Arthurs knocks out Guzman. I better have some laughing gas at the ready, cos Im gonna need it with the amount of laughing im going to be doing at all the Arthur doubters & haters after the event:smoke

I was gonna put in a laughing smilie, but I dont want to suffer from burnout when Im going to need all the laughs I can muster up after Alex has gubbed gobby Guzman.

 

Guzman would beat Foster Jr easy and wouldn't of got knocked down by him.

Arthur's strong and can throw good combinations but he shouldn't of been manhandled by the smaller man In there and can be too much of a slow starter.

I can Guzman being too fast and winning on points.

 

Yep, he even got up to win the 4th round then knocked down twice In the 5th before and being unable to beat the count.

 

Wasn't there a hair metal song a few years back with the lyrics "Dirty Derry done dirt cheep"?:think

 

You said Guzman would get pasted max. Therefore, you are on my massive list of people to laugh at when Arthur wins.

You know me max, when anyone vociferously picks against the scot, it releases the beast in me.

braveheart to the graveyard.

 

Dunky, do you really think Arthur will beat Guzman? I like AAA, but this is a fight he will lose. AA had a rough time against foster and Guzman although i think is overrated IS a class above Foster. Just because people think Arthur will lose, it doesn't mean they are anti scottish or a hater of Arthur, they are just looking at the facts. Guzman has mixed in better class and technically he is better than AAA.

I hope you are right and prove everyone wrong, for British boxing, but i can't see it happening.

 

True I did say he's getting pasted.

I predict this based on styles rather than just simply saying Joan Is In a higher league and fought better fighters unlike most.

If Arthur wins you deserve to laugh Dunkster.:deal

 

Im just having a laugh with you Max my good man, I dont mind you saying what you do when there are so many people having a pop at the fighter you like cos he got beat.
If I was in your shoes, I would have been a whole lot nastier to everyone who was having a go at you & Derry! If Arthur wins I will be only laughing at the haters, no worries. Your safe Max

& in the cold light of day, Derry was caught unawares by a highly motivated wily strong avoided opponent. **** happens from time to time, just ask Alex Arthur, he underestimated Gomez & got KO'd, but look where he is now, on the brink of superstardom if he can beat Guzman.
& Choi is a far superior fighter to Gomez IMO. So who knows what the future holds for Matthews, he could come back stronger for his defeat like Arthur did.

a defeat aint the end of the world for a fighter, I always tell people that here.

 

Guzman rules. He's the undertaker and he's controlling Arthur's destiny to either a cremation or burial.
