Only just got in from a night out, but given the state of this it sounds like a shocker. Will have to watch it tomorrow on megavideo or youtube.

I'm not surprised by this in the least though, I've seen the hand of Prick Hennessy hanging over Fury's career (I refuse to refer to him as Tyson). If you actually watch his early fights, there's at least 2 that have pretty awful, premature stoppages when the ref jumps in as Hennessy screams for him to do so from the side. In one, he actually stopped when a fighter dropped his hands sarcastically after Fury's 5th low blow in a row. I mean none of those guys was going to win, but it seemed manufactured to giving him a great KO percentage.

Very hard on McDermott, who's a significantly better fighter than his physique shows (although he looked better at the weigh-in for this one). I thought both Williams fights were fairly close, but he does have a history of getting jobbed, perhaps because he doesn't look how people feel a fighter should. Add to this fight & the Williams fights, the Mark Krence fight where he was again on the wrong end of a poor bit of judgement from the ref. To my mind Matt Skelton is the only guy to have convincingly beaten him.

Poor fat bastard
