Tyson Fury/ McDermott fight

[Kel]

Can someone give me a quick run down?

Fury was eating right hands and got out jabbed by a mile in most of the rounds and held on a lot when caught, Tyson had a couple of good rounds, especially the last, but thats it really.

McDermott's comments were great, "Why they do this to me I'm a nice guy" hahaha I loved it

Feel for the guy big time mate, he was robbed in his first fight with Danny Williams to.

Sounds like the UK has it's own Glen Johnson.

That sucks, I guess it's just a matter of time until we see Tyson Fury vs. Tye Fields

Oh what a load of shit, I had it Fury by decision.

Oh yeah and I'm outraged by the decision too Corruption, these people need to be held accountable, I'll never watch another fight, and so on.

I think some people should watch this fight with the sound off.

I have never heard a commentary so biased towards a channels fighter (I think we can safely assume Hennesey isn't going to Sky)

If you take Sky's scorecard and the ref's scorecard then you will find the actual result somewhere in the middle.

I'm not suprised that the ref scored the fight to Fury, I can't for the life of me see how he can do two jobs; Fury threw twice as many punches.

McDermott my very well have won (I wasn't keeping score) but this fight was a lot closer that Sky would have you believe.

I disagree totaally mate, Jim Watt couldnt get his tongue any further up Furys bumhole, look at the stats Mcdermott landed more shots better percentage the harder/cleaner shots, David Haye had him winning by 4 rounds who was ringside, the guys in the studio had him winning the fight. I dont take any notice of Jim Watt he is a nob jockey, i watch the fight and it was a robbery plain and simple imo. Also Fury's team told him he needs a ko in the final round they new he was behind well everyone else except the ref.

Also just reading another report after the ninth round on the betting exchanges the odds were as follows:


John Mcdermott 1/18

Tyson Fury 12/1

This was a robbery of the highest order. How Fury could have the gaul to say he felt he won with a straight face is beyond me. Loved Maloney's analogy at the end. Even Dick Turpin wore a mask.... Haha. LMAO......

[skel1983]

Hahahaha!!

Check Tyson drawing the Prizefighter in Vegas, Tyson asking who all the fighters are, hes just drawn out Danny Williams and said " Williams is the champ, aww god bless him. "

[GAME]

Hahahaha!!

lol when he picked out Dannys opponent Tyson said " he hasnt got a chance "

They showed the odds and Danny is the odds on. I hope he does win.

That was a disgrace. The BBBC should be shot but what'll happen is Maloney will get grief from the BBBC for what he said. Whether they gave it to Fury because they're hoping for a few big nights for British boxing and want to keep his 0 or whether the ref took money that was terrible.


I know Sjy couldn't stop telling us is was just his seventh fight but I thought Fury was exposed. He's nothing special.

EDIT : I'm a little bit drunk hope I'm not being libellous.

Yeah that became pretty evident to me too bud

I had it McDermott by 3 rounds...Tyson fury is not that bad, but he took on a tough veteran, McDermott is better than most of people think. he's nothing special, but better than average club fighters .

Tyson took this step too soon, I really wonder was it that good for his motivation ? everybody knows he got a gift decision tonight, he will be probably be put in danger in his next fight should he face again good opposition. let's not even foreseen the damage should he take another step up in the competition anf fight agaisnt the young contender in Germany.

I would take 4-6 easy fights but against durable opposition and work hard on my jab if I was him.

For what I've seen so far, David Price is far more better ;-)

A strange decision by the ref in terms of margin, maybe full stop. I thought McDermott did more than enough, yet on my scorecard i had Fury's last round edging him infront. Really can't explain why.

McDermott's an awful fighter, always holding, spoliing, grapling, he's a doorman, a clubber, nothing more, but he made Fury look ordinary, and wobbled him three or four times, too.

Those writing Fury off after this performance, however, are extremely naive, but, i must say, those bigging him up as a title contender, even just at domestic level, at this point in his career are too. He's not ready yet. He'll eventually knock all these clubbers out, but he's jumped up too fast.

For all McDermott's faults (and his build perhaps makes him look worse than he is, as the commentators alluded to) there's a difference between knocking out some Latvian/Polish/whatever journeyman in three and then going into a 10-rounder against a proven opponent.

Get Fury in with some guys who are durable and might take him the distance, who can test him but perhaps not as much as McDermott did tonight. He needs experience of going 8 & 10 rounds, it should be a case of building that up, not learning on the job with a title to defend. Tyson's time for a British title should've been a year from now. Too much, too soon.

Saying all this, to award him the win by so many rounds is scandalous. The powers-that-be should really be looking into it. If it would have been by a round there'd still be questions, by SIX, that is absolutely absurd.
