Friday night, at Liverpool’s Olympia, local boxer Derry Mathews lost out to Italian – Emiliano Marsili in a bloody battle which saw Mathews on the canvas in the sixth and finally stopped mid-way through the seventh when Referee Howard Foster stepped in.
Derry Mathews (Liverpool) v Emiliano Marsili (Italy)
Vacant IBO World Lightweight Title
It’s a steady first round with both men ‘eyeing each other up’, but Southpaw Marsili is fast and ‘twitchy’ – constantly bobbing on his feet. Mathews settled in to rounds two and three (despite the delay at the start of the second frame when the venue’s lights went off), but he leaves his face ‘open’ and Marsili finds it.
The popular Liverpool man starts to get through with the jab in round three and the British fans start to cheer. He’s bundled over in the last half minute of the round but it’s a no knockdown.
He pressures Marsili on the ropes mid-way through the frame and lands a decent right to the face of the Italian in the last thirty seconds – but his face is awash with blood mainly from a nose injury. Mathews starts the fifth round well.
The sixth round was the most notable of the fight. Mathews face was covered in blood from the nose and mouth. The crowds were noisy and on their feet as the Liverpool man landed a big right mid-way through the round and Marsili was pressured back on the ropes under a barrage of shots. But moments later, Marsili comes back with head shots and a left to the body that sent Mathews to one knee. He takes the count and boxing resumes but Mathews is bundled over to the canvas. It’s a no knockdown but even so – the fall saps energy and by the end of the frame Mathews’ left eye is also cut, adding more blood to the already bloody face. After a number of shots to the head – Referee Howard Foster steps in mid-way through the seventh to stop the fight.
Afterwards, an emotional Mathews leaned on the ropes – gazing out at the crowds who continued to clap and cheer their support.
Marsili wins the IBO Lightweight Title. His record improves to 24 wins (10 by KO) no losses and 1 draw, while Mathews record now stands at 29 wins (15 by KO) 6 losses (6 by KO) and 1 draw. More...

In a big British heavyweight clash last evening, former Olympic hero David Price captured the vacant English crown with a devastating performance against former title holder John McDermott at the Olympia in Liverpool, England.
The towering 6'8 tall Price, who was fighting at this hometown venue for the third straight time, had finished off his last five opponents inside the distance but had yet to meet someone as experienced as McDermott, who held the English belt in 2008 and was coming off a first round Southern Area title win against Larry Olubamiwo in February.
Despite the long layoff, McDermott showed no ringrust as he came out using the jab and although being much shorter, had little trouble connecting with the punch.
However, the Essex man was not so accurate with two over hand rights he threw in short order. On his third attempt, McDermott nailed Price full but immediately caught a big right uppercut and a short counter left hook on the side of the head which sent McDermott to the canvas.
McDermott easily beat the count, and Price came after him with all guns blazing but McDermott connected with a jab and right hand. Price was undeterred and kept swinging wildly, catching his rival with a clubbing right to the ear. More...
