    Good to hear Billy, Gavin is lucky to have 2 good knowledgeable trainers in Gary and yourself in his corner :good

    I think Rees is one of our most underrated fighters.

    A lot more elusive than people give him credit for and a strong lad as well

    Yeah, I think he'd be more suited at Super-Featherweight, think he could get down to 130 Billy?

    IMO no hes seems comfortable at the weight so why drain yourself when strength is one of your main assets

    I dont know Derry has always had the goods but lost his way , its deffo a different Derry this time around hes got his "mojo" well n truley back.
    It will be a great fight, with Derry taking the honours this time

    Derrys nose must **** him off badly in fights like this, it goes so easily.

    I think Rees by mid to late stoppage, always struggle to see why people underestimate him so much he has fought at a much higher level and only loss coming at a higher weight in a world title fight. Think Derry is a nice chap but not on Gav's level imo

    Doesn't really take much working out just look at his record. I'm not knocking him as a fighter so you can chill on the emoticons all i'm saying is I think Gav has fought at a higher level and beaten better fighters

    Rees wins this. Matthews will get broke up with body shots.
