Re: Fury RBR
I missed this one. I take it Fury was not very impressve.

Rum , what's wrong with a Stella!
Re: Fury RBR
Fury was swinging wildly, very open and showed a distinct lack of power. He was trying to impress too much and ended up impressing too little, the way it often goes.crusader wrote:I missed this one. I take it Fury was not very impressve.
Re: Fury RBR
He looked OK at times but as soon as he realised Power didn't pose much of a threat, which was quite early, he let himself be quite ragged. Boxed at a reasonable pace for him, at least.crusader wrote:I missed this one. I take it Fury was not very impressve.
Anyone half decent would stretch him based on that, but I'm assuming - surely - he'd be a bit tighter if he had to be.

Re: Fury RBR
I'll leave the lot of it myself, just saying thats the tipple of choice out there. Saying that the only bloke I know in person that drinks Rum is an uphill gardener.

Re: Fury RBR
Some nice comments from the Yank commentators about York Hall.
What they need to do to get a bit of perspective is nip to the bogs to see about 50 gypsies sharing the cubicles

Re: Fury RBR
To be honest mate, I agree with them...the ref has enough to do without scoring. Although it wouldn't be so bad if he scored along with another two outside the ring.Horse wrote:I didn't like their comments about the referee being the sole judge.Ian 'Mr' McNeilly wrote:Some nice comments from the Yank commentators about York Hall.
It needs changing, if resources allow.
Re: Fury RBR
I agree with them, just the ref scoring leaves it open for controversy, they've got enough work already and three judges would work a lot better whatever type of fight it is.
O'Donnell on now and I'm not really enjoying the fight, not much excitement. O'Donnell aint as good as some of the guys in the domestic welterweight division.

I don't think three judges will do a better job then the referee.Ian 'Mr' McNeilly wrote:To be honest mate, I agree with them...the ref has enough to do without scoring. Although it wouldn't be so bad if he scored along with another two outside the ring.

When the referee makes a bad decision loads of people blame the system, but when the judges mess it up no one blames the system then.
Re: Fury RBR
All the judges have to do is watch the fight. Further, if one of them has a bad day, two should compensate. If a sole arbiter has a bad day, that's that.Horse wrote:I don't think three judges will do a better job then the referee.Ian 'Mr' McNeilly wrote:To be honest mate, I agree with them...the ref has enough to do without scoring.

OK - judges still f*ck up, that's human nature.
But three judges is surely better than one busy man.

I am finding it difficult to care about this fight as well. I don't really know where O'Donnell's career is going and I have lost interest in him.iwz678 wrote:O'Donnell on now and I'm not really enjoying the fight, not much excitement.

Re: Fury RBR
why do/did both fury and o'donnell both sound like women tennis players when they throw punches???
Re: Fury RBR
totally agree, people are going to make mistakes we know that but sense says there's more chance of one man making a mistake than three isnt there?Ian 'Mr' McNeilly wrote:All the judges have to do is watch the fight.

The board needs to change this and get out of the old ages.
Re: Fury RBR
Why is this fight a 12 rounder?

I was thinking that myself...must be a TV thing. It really isn't very exciting.Horse wrote:Why is this fight a 12 rounder?

Re: Fury RBR
I can see where your coming from in regards to the ref Horse and I dont think the refs are too bothered about, just think it's much easier with three judges and surely if the rest of the world do it, then it must work fine.Horse wrote:Is it really that distracting thinking about who is winning the round whilst they do the rest of their job?iwz678 wrote:I agree with them, just the ref scoring leaves it open for controversy, they've got enough work already and three judges would work a lot better whatever type of fight it is.

I think O'Donnell will fight for the British title next time out and will get beat whoever he fights in my opinion.
