BIG LARRY VS BIG JOHN

[damianhucker1]

Gutted for larry , but to be honest he looked all over the place before Mcdermott landed anything , dont know what to say , im shocked by that , as soon as he was rocking he didnt know what to do and to be honest the ref could have stopped it at the first knockdown

[SOUTHPAW]

Good for john....larry looked the part but its over for him now..

[whicker]

Wow! That was quick- one of those fights you don't want either man to lose, really- both seem like decent blokes.

Even on delay it was quick.

Dont know where Larry goes from here to be honest , he will need a couple of easier ones and then maybe have another go at stepping up .

[MightyWarrior]

It's a CRUEL sport. That was brutal. INCOMPETENT referee, if he though Larry was ok after getting up blankly after that 1st KD, then he's obviously a bit thick.

He needs to work on his boxing skills,if he does that then i think he can become a british champion still

Big John was always going to be a huge step up for Larry and was basically a 'sink or swim' fight from Mr Warren...unfortunately he sank....

Does make you wonder whether Mr Maloney would have given him a steadier rise in the quality of his opposition?

Well, he does need to give the fighter a chance. Possible Larry could have held and recovered- OK, it wasn't to be- but then, it's easy to be wise after the event.

Been stung too many times myself. It was the fairly safe bet comment I responded to.

[m1kee50]

Shame. Larry protested but you saw his legs going... Anyone can get jumped on - ask big john himself... Hopefully larry can get back into the mix but its a giant step backwards.

[black panther]

Gutted for Larry but I hope he comes back from this. He's never going to be the best technically but if he developed a good strong jab to work his way in I still think he can do okay at domestic level. I thought McDermott would fold mentally under pressure....shows what I know!

[steve689]

Larry just looked a bit raw and open in there. Hard to see where the big lad goes from here because it was basic 1-2 punches from McDermott that did him.

[FtmPress]

It's hard to rule out McDermott because he#s done fairly well when he's looked awful, but this looks doubly bad for him. I don't think I've seen him in much worse shape. Larry to dominate him, for an early KO.

You should not judge a book by is cover, John was in great shape for this fight, And the win proved it.

I'd go along with that

Will it be McDermott vs Price next?

No it didn't, it lasted 1 minute, proves nothing 'cept Larry wasn't up for it.

Wouldn't say that Frank, it only last a min or two. The win proved to me that Larry isn't good enough, not necessarily that McDermott was in great condition.

[thepocketrocket]

Mcdermott has always had high work rate for a heavy....he always looks fat and out of condition but he has the output

It lasted that lone because john took him apart with his jab right from the start, Sorry to say Larry had no answer to john's jab or pace. Before this fight a lot of you on here was claiming how Larry was going to do great things in the heavyweight division, So now please give john the credit for this win not come on here saying Larry no good.

McDermott proved me wrong, sadly so.

John did very well. Would like to see him fight Fury again!

Mcdermot price??

come on frank, he is no way in 'great shape'. john is a sound technician with decent skills who does the basic things well. obviously getting up and going out running is not one of them. i am not knocking johns performance tonight, he did what he had to do and did it very well, as the underdog he was composed and utilised his assets in finding out larrys weaknesses, when larry throws his bombs, then big john capitalised.

someone wrote a few years ago that big john does the 100m in 11 seconds, if thats the case i will bear my arse in woolies window alongside bernie slaven, infact ill suck him off !!!.... live on boxrec.

put macdermott on a fitness campaign with jimmy mac for 3 months, then we might see him develop even a resemblance of physique. big john is doing very well DESPITE the shape he is in and not because of it, its his own fault he is not british champion, not the fault of any judge etc. john needs to knuckle down, work in the gym and on the road, then he could progress to british championship level, at the moment john is a gatekeeper for the british heavyweight title, nothing more, nothing less.
