Who's next for derry Mathews?

[Tam Seddon]

It was a good win that for him last night considering he was losing every round. It was a perfect left hook, that knocked coyle out. Richie woodhalls commentary was amazing too, he was bang on with his prediction.

Where does derry go from here? There were talks of a rematch for derry, but I think coyle would be able to adjust in a rematch. I don't think derry should rush into fighting him again straight away. I wouldn't mind seeing him against Mitchell, that would be a good one.

I dont see much of a future for him. He really isnt that good. I think his best performances were against Crolla. His options for me are a Crolla rematch and a Coyle rematch. Id say there are about 10 other fighters in his weight class in Britain who are better then him so Im not fussed about seeing much of him in the future.

He said he's going to fight until he's had 50 fights. No doubts he's aware this is his level, he knows he wont go any further than domestic. He's done well to come back though and be a very active British fighter. No matter what happens he's always in a good fight though and ill always have time to watch him. He can never be underestimated though when he can produce one punch knockouts like last night. That was amazing to watch.

my answer would be - brain damage , he is to easy to hit and should retire.

He will soon enough, as I posted before he's having 50 fights and calling it a day.

[Vendettos]

The fight was bad for Mathews but it is rare he fights so badly.

No Crolla rematch please.

Maybe rematch Rees.

Crolla is likely going to fight Burns come end of the year so I think a 3rd fight is out for the time being.

I'd like the Kevin Mitchell fight. It'd be fun to watch as both can bang and both can be hurt. I'd say Kev has too much for him though, but that depends which Mitchell shows up.

terry flanaghan, martin gethin, curtis woodhouse?

Biggest fluke job ever Woodhall played his hand early and was obliged to say that. He didnt believe what he was saying as he was saying it.

[IamInuit]

Gotta respect that battle horse. Not sure how much of a living he has made domestically but you cant fault him for wanting to hit 50. Spittin image of Johnny Owen. Ok some resemblance.

The Young Coyle was visibly devastated. Thing is when all is said and done, that loss and how it happened may prove to be the most important fight and lesson in his career.

[Master]

Derry was lucky Coyle hung his chin out like a young novice that he is. Kevin Mitchell would easily beat him but think

[fightscorecollector]

With Kevin Mitchell now with Matchroom, i can see that fight being made.
