Great fight. But I thought the stoppage was premature.

Made up for Derry, as no one gave him a chance in this one but as always he left everything in the ring on fight night.
The stoppage did seem a-little premature but overall it was a really good fight.

Be interesting to see what comes next for him. Maybe another shot at Rees? A fight against Murray would be good i reckon.
