BBBofC orders Fury-McDermott rematch

[jamiebhoy]

I think this has proven that the British fight scene must move away from an archaic style of scoring the fight by the man in charge of what amounts to policing the fight.

I for one can't see how he can do both and in defence of the referees themselves it's a big ask of them.

Not that I think there was anything corrupt in this case but with a judges panel it further eliminates the chancge of corruption, it's harder to get to three guys than it is one.

In this case I imagine they will punish Malone for his comments, defend the referee and publicly stick by him as he is their chosen official and to not do so would be an admission they were wron which the BBBC won't do !

Malone will be dealt with softly in reverence to his heart attack and losing one of his fighters tragically.

A rematch will not be ordered but will probably be pushed by both camps, one saying they should have won , the other trying to bolster the fact they were awarded the win.

End result, Fury will win a rematch as McDermott will be fighting on anger and for the wrong reason.

Justice is seldom served.

agree completely

how hard could it possibly be to put 3refs from the previous nights contest around the ring and have them score the fight individually.

I just hope to god theyve at least requested o`connors scorecard as i like many would just love to know how exactly he came to a 98-92 conclusion for a man who got torn to shreds.

No doubts he`ll be back boxing main events before we know it and genuinely talented young refs who wouldnt dream of making a f*ck up as big as that wont get a chance

Fury's fight for Saturday night in Dublin has been confirmed as the guy who got a draw out of Mike Holden in a four-rounder a few weeks ago, Tomas Mrazek.

Should be a nice easy cruise for Fury, Mrazek looked to be a blown-up cruiser against Holden, but probably deserved a win in that one.
