I'll have to go with Larry on this one. Think McDermott may get the first few rounds but will struggle with Larry's power and eventually stopped inside 7.

I think Larry will stop him inside 4 rounds.

John's training like an animal aint seen him like this before, knows he dont win and there's No where to go for him.....

Hippo?....

John definately has the much better skills.

Larry is stronger but maybe a little more limited (sorry Larry).

Larry has improved, for sure and John seems to have lost his lust for Boxing, so I would go for Larry, as he is much, much more motivated these days than John.

John, of a few years ago.....I would have gone for him to beat Larry and most other domestics (bar Skelton and Williams - although the Williams fight was very, very close).

Larry to win, probably by grinding down stoppage in about 8-9 rounds.

I had to laugh when the Sky Commentary Team said that McDermott had "left it in the gym" during the sceond Fury fight.

if you want an example of a 'true' fight of the year look at Martin Rogan beating Matt Skelton as a 12-0 novice

theres your yardstick, gentlemen.

I was live and right at the front that night and I swear it was the best fight I've witnessed live, I will say thus though, it finished both of them, I've never seen 2 guys take so many big clean shots!! Rogan showed the heart of a lion at times!! He was hurt several times but in the end just wore Matt down!! It was a terrific fight that I'll never forget ;) big ups to 2 true gladiators ;)

Another quick mention is Sexton V Rogan I too, atmosphere was something else!! ;)
