If Danny loses prize fighter, he loses the British title. I wonder if the BBBoC will promote this fight for it being the British title?

I think that Fury will have improved by Christmas, and I don't think that McDermott will be as good in the rematch.

I thought the board said that they would consider stripping Williams if he lost a fight in the Prizefighter tournament, not that they would definitely strip him unless he won.

Either way, I don't think that Fury vs McDermott II should be for the British title.

Danny said on Sky Sports News, if he loses in Prizefighter he WILL be stripped. The British title will be declared vacant.

Rogan-Sexton 2 is a British eliminator so if Danny is stripped, expect that to be for the vacant title

How will Fury improve in a few months? Face facts he not that good!

Ah yeah - yes, good call.

Of course he can improve in that time. He will have learnt a lot from the first McDermott fight and he is likely to train harder for the rematch.

Who he fighting this weekend?

- Can't wait for you soft lads bet your big pants off for this one.

Make sure a mate has a video cam on you so we can have the youtube record of slackjawed astonishment when Tyson knocks him into a quivering heap of jello.

That's if McD isn't properly TKQed for turning tail and running to the ropes like he did twice to escape the KO.

Who is this idiot Broughton Rules all his posts are full of shit!

Well, pipe down wee'un and get that video cam loaded and ready to roll. We wanna see that glass jaw of yours in a sling after the thunderclap from McD hitting the canvas hits you full on.............Priceless!!!!!

Are you on drugs?!!

I like McDermott in the re-match however I do think Fury has alot more scope to improve than McDermott.

Still a bit of a pick 'em tbh.

As long as it is a good fight, again

I seem to recall Fury himself making similarly baseless claims prior to the first fight and yet his punches looked about as powerful as a Robin Reliant for the majority of the fight when it came down to backing that up.
Whatever Fury is, he's not the KO artist that some would tout him to be and while it's plausible that he'll beat McD in a rematch, I think your forecast is way off the mark.

I think the board of control have done what everyone expected and taken the easy way out. They haven't overturned the decision and made it a no contest and they haven't even banned Terry O'Connor. A rematch doesn't get rid of the undeserved loss on McDermott's record and O'Connor get's off scot free.

- It seems your unseemly recall needs a recall.

Fury knocked out McD gumshield twice and had him twice more turn his back and literally RUN to the ropes into the ref's luvving arms to keep from being knocked out. O'conner's not blind like this crowd and gave Fury the lopsided decision. McD was brave in the beginning, but strictly in survival mode by end after a good pulping by Fury.

We shall see about my forecast. I'm predicting another terrible rain of punches on McD who will be tossing his wet towel quite a bit earlier this time around. After this fight Fury desperately needs to vacate the isles for now so as not be sucked into the dreary scene of the British heavy division that Haye avoided like the plague for this exact reason.

Is there no way of requesting / obtaining the papers form the meeting. not a very transparent governing body are they!?

The ten rounds last time will have gave Fury so much experience so thats my pick

You know my view that he won it the first time round, so I am struggling to see it any different for Big Mac this time around - Fury will have the advantages of workrate and will not underestimate his opponent again. I think a wide points win beckons.

Glad someone else picked up on this rather than just focusing on the rematch - it's a disgrace that absolutely no action is being taken against him, especially since by ordering a rematch there's an implicit acknowledgement that something went badly wrong.

Exactly, And i'd like to hear the explanation of those that decided his fate, on how they can justify handing out no punishment after he turned in that 8-2 card. That card cannot in anyway be justified. Its f*cking impossible. That being the clear case he should have been punished. This decision just indicates that at worst corruption runs deep or at best its all an old pals act, and way too cosy for the good of the sport in this country.

Its an "old pals act" in my opinion Lurkyshaka - thats why there will never be an annual monitoring/review.

I put forward a cost effective solution. 3 complaints in a season, 5 overall and those fights will be reviewed INDEPENDENTLY by star referee's from the states. Should the independent ref's uphold the complaint - then severe punishment.

It would keep the refs on the toes and show to promoters/trainers/fighters/fans that something is to be done. Will it ever happen, will it f as likely.

Just compare it to Football and Rugby, the punishment refs get if a major incident/complaint is upheld is a severe punishment. They also get regularly checked/assessed irrespective of how they've performed... and if they fail - they get demoted/suspended.

Watch it again, McD is goosed, not hurt.

They should at least have made O'Connors explaination public, in ordering the rematch there's a tacit acknowlegement that something was awry. As for the result, I think we say McDermott at his best last time and I think that Fury showed a lot of room for improvement, and he'll up his game and nick it this time. I'd like to see John win though, that would seem more just.
