Thread: RBR -WBU Featherweight title -Derry Matthews v Choi.

Okay I'll do a RBR for this so no one misses out

I'll call his opponent by his first name Choi as his second nme is too long.

Fellow scouser Derry "Dirty" Matthews v Choi set to start in a couple of mins

Rnd 1:

Scrappy round, fouls by Choi and not much landed by either men, good left by Choi connects. Good jabs from Matthews but I'll give that round to Choi on pressure alone.

Choi 10-9.

Rnd 2:

Good jabs and hooks from Derry early on. Choi is very rugged, big right hand from Choi lands and he really nailed Matthews, another big right and now a left from Choi, combos from Choi, Matthews stuggling, big round for Choi.

Scouser in trouble so far

20-18 Choi.

Rnd 3:

I see nobodys viewing the thread, is the RBR really that bad ??

Matthews down 3 times in that round from 3 big hooks as Choi lands big shots throuh out OMG. DOMINANT round, surprised Derry survived.

10-7 Choi in that round.

I MUST ADD more to this as I jumped up from the couch and my laptop nearly flew off my knee at how shocked I was.

Matthews got badly outclassed in this round which was the story of the fight, I'm very surprised how he got up as he was flat on his face after every knockdown, all hooks that landed from Choi which put him down.

Rnd 4:

Matthews comes back, sill shaky and I ain't surprised, Choi has a breather and I still cannot believe what happened round 3 good shots and jabs from Mattews in the 4th.

Matthews 10-9.

prob because of the last minute thing mate ive only just noticed it now mate so will sticky it to get the views up

Rnd 5:

Good jabs from Matthews, nice left lands and right hand from Choi connects and Matthews falls through the ropes but no KD.

OHH SHIT Matthews down from a body shot and just makes the count, gets up and goes straight back down off another body shot and Ref waves it off, Matthews down 5 times in total, Matthews rolling round the floor after that 5th KD and he was totally outclassed in there, hard to watch that actually but I struggle to see were Derry goes now, Paul Smith was ringside bellowing instructions but Matthews could do nothing.

TKO 5th round for Choi.

Good job Lefty...Dont feel bad bro,I did A complete RBR on thursdays Versus Card and NO ONE,not a soul showed up /Posted.Save for Legion and some Newb who Did not like the fact I pointed out Foreman was becoming a Rabbi . Keep it up ,The RBR's are a great thing.

Final Word:

Matthews was badly exposed here and the scouser could do nothing, Choi looked magnificant and Derry ain't an elite fighter at all, will be a hard loss to take for Matthews after being KD 5 TIMES tonight and when he returns he needs to go up a weight, even Barry McGuigan said he looks to small out there and that's correct, Choi was bossing him around the ring all night.

Great job Lee. Keep 'em comin'.

That was so one sided it was unbelievable. Derry looked very nervous as he came out as if he didn't believe he could pull this off. Outclassed in every way. I'm disappointed. Not sure where he goes from here either. I know its one loss but I don't think he has the power to successfully move up in weight and if he hasn't got it in him to be taking big shots from the powerful guys in the division he's going to struggle at Feather. He's a decent fighter but its hard to see him going further.

Believe me, Hes top of the dont want Him club. Jacks stood by the kid Im happy for him, Ive seen him Box a few times and always liked him, very dangerous and not without technique.

I just noticed the same thing happend in this fight as in the Kahn fight -

The time keeper was sitting on his hands cuz there was 8 seconds left in the round when Derry went down for the first time in round 5 . So the mandatory 8 should have got him to the bell , yet he got up and the action continued for the other guy to land the finishing blow. Poor work tonight from whoever was in charge . It may not have effected the results but I guess we'll never now for sure .

did'nt look like he used his reach advantage well at all there,he looked terrible,weight drained perhaps?

Derry Mathews looked anorexic, very weak and timid.
