Your Fury - Mcdermott scorecards

[oliverfennell]

A lot of people had it a draw, and me too, althoughI did watch it for the first time only after seeing the result and reading the fall-out, so I approached my viewing of it with that in mind, i.e. seeing how the ref could score it the way he did.

However I'd say of the five rounds I gave Fury, only three were definite; the other two were close.

Did commentary sway opinions? Possibly. It's not unusual for me to disagree with the commentators over a round, but when I hear they had it the other way, it can make me doubt myself. That's natural.

And another point to bear in mind - when an underdog is doing well, you perhaps notice his work more than the other guy's, because the very fact of him doing well is a surprising/spectacular sight.

i agreed with the comentators about the work mcderrmott did he did the better shots but the rounds i gave tyson are when he outworked mcdermott and he didnt do that enough for me

I’m all for eliminating draws, but how exactly?

13 rounds and no pussy footing?

I don't think you can eliminate draws, and it's not fair to. What about if two fighters were completely evenly matched throughout the fight? You think one of them should still win?

Say you go with your idea of no even rounds and an odd number of total rounds, a knock down can still occur to make the fight a draw.

Your point being?

(At least it wasn't a video of a Russian operatic version of The Banana Bunch In Space, which I half-expected it to be)

Tyson Fury vs. John McDermott

How does countering Asterix's argument that draws are valid results, and that even if we DID use your system, you wouldn't eliminate draws because of the incidence of knockdowns, with a video of a fight which WASN'T a draw, work?

[jBacca]

Aslong as rounds can be scored a draw, then draws won't be eliminated.

[Dioufy]

98-92 to Mcdermott.

DD

Same.

I was referring to this.

But the score was 98-92. What's your point??

I had it 98 - 93 Mc Dermott

[Nightmare Roy]

Off the top of my head i can't remember but i had Big John winning by 3 rounds, I know i was swearing at the TV when i heard the refs card and so was my Missis

[n1ebf]

i scored it Mcdermott 98 Fury 94 O Connor 10,000.

[alexpaterson]

7-3 to McDermott he was outjabbing the 5inch taller man he was overwealming Fury he showed how to beat Fury walk forward with head movement and throw straight punches as he has a poor defence and lacks power imo

[oliverfennell]

Who should have won, Fury or McDermott?

I scored it a draw, but I wasn't working the fight. Your system would have had no bearing on this fight or O'Connor's verdict.
