OK, so I missed most of the Matthews v Marsh fight tonight, but I caught the last few rounds before Matthews stopped MArsh in the 11th, and Matthews seemed to be up to all his old tricks.
I know I churn out the same opinions in every fight, but Matthews is a dirty fighter, loving to get his head in people's faces and grinding cuts till they get much worse.
However, in recent years his wins over John Simpson and Stephen Foster were significant, and along with this evening's win over Marsh, must put him on a par with other British featherweights at the moment, although he's going the WBU route and not Commonwealth and British titles.
So what are your takes on him?
