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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :lol:

I didn't like their comments about the referee being the sole judge.

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.

It needs changing, if resources allow.

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.

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.

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.

OK - judges still f*ck up, that's human nature.

But three judges is surely better than one busy man.

Is it really that distracting thinking about who is winning the round whilst they do the rest of their job?

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.

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?

The board needs to change this and get out of the old ages.

Maybe it is, but is there a great deal of evidence to support that theory?

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.

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