Boxing Result: Fury Defeats McDermott In Controversial Clash

[markspringall]

An absolutely disgraceful verdict. Decisions like this give boxing a bad name. The Referee Terry O'Connor must never be allowed to take control of another fight. A rematch must be ordered and this fight should be declared null and void. I had high hopes for Tyson Fury’s future but after last night’s fight I have my doubts. Shame on you Terry O'Connor!

Apparently there is bad blood between O Conner and Mcdermott's dad, and in the seventies Mcdermott senior did actully knock O Conner out in the ring.

Maybe this was something to do with the ridiculous scorecard, of Terry O Conner.

McDermott clearly won the fight, but its the ridiculous scorecard from the referee that really rankles. Never in a million years can someone honestly say the McD only won 2 rounds, its an absolute disgrace. I think the only reason Fury got the decision was because he's expected to have a big future and maybe O Connor didn't want him to suffer a setback like this. Disgrace though, they should have a rematch after that shambles of a decision.

Eactly what i think happened!

watched the fight for the first time and i scored for McDermott 98-93.....no way on this planet Fury won this fight. I may have been over critical in some rounds of Fury but Mcdermott won this by a mile.


Job Biscuit (Fury's defence and ESPECIALLY punching power way overrated in my opinion)!!!


eh eh!!!

I think McDermott won the fight, but don't think it was as bad a decision as the McDermott v Williams one a while back.

Thought Fury took a few rounds that the Sky commentators thought were McDermott's rounds.

I've seen a lot worse decisions tbh.
