Big John would have to knock him out to 'win'

The question is - should the board mandate the revoking of the licence of Terry O'Connor - I thought we got rid of the main idiot when Paul Thomas retired.

There's always one...

Just let Richie or Howard ref it. Or have three judges and start as they mean to go on.

The Commonwealth Board did exactly the right thing with Sexton-Rogan so hopefully (especially if we get plenty of people voting on here), the BBBoC will do so too.

I sort of understand Carlos' twisted logic but even those on here who thought Fury won seem to think he did so very narrowly and that a rematch wouldn't be out of order.

I can only think those who don't want a rematch either know very little about boxing, are trolls or are huge Fury fans who don't want to fight McD again (understandable).

Let's see if we can get a lot of people voting on this thread.

Well, you may not be able to read or comprehend written English but I thought McDermott won that fight handsomely.

But there's no way McDermott would get anything other than a fair shake from Richie or Howard.

Richie doesn't give a f*ck who you are - small, big, black, white - you get what you get.

Howard is the same. This is the guy who threw out Matthew Hatton in the last round of a British title eliminator against Alan Bosworth when he was miles ahead because he wouldn't behave. The Hattons and their entourage nearly lynched him but he'd do the same again.

An unbeaten guy with 7 Wins 7 K0's record and you are saying you are surprised at the result in Essex.

Get the hell out of here .

Are you referring to me?

Yeah, I was surprised. Like I say, I'm probably too naive. Or just like to see the best in people.

Maybe I'm just a sucker.

Personally I am one of the few who actually had fury winning, but it was a close fight and I would not have been surprised had mcdermott got the decision.

The commentary team at sky were very biased towards Mcdermott and I think too many viewers are influenced by the comments made by Jim Watt especially. I had the fight even after 4 rounds, yet Jim wat scored it 3-1 to mcdermott, the remaining 6 rounds he scored 3-3.

If you watch the fight again with no commetary from Jim Watt and Ed Robinson and score the fight again I think many of you will see Fury was the one throwing the MAJORITY of the punches.

Fury threw over 200 punches more than Mcdermott and thats what swung the decision in his favour.

The 8-2 scorecard from the referee was pure bullshit though and the ref should be disciplined.

As a fighter if Fury was going to be a world beater he would have stopped John Mcdermott inside 5 rounds,

i

On the stats fury got something like 18% landed. I think Mcdermott was closer to 30%...

Exactly. Any boxing fan would know that its all about punches landed, rather than thrown!

The worry I have is that John will, understandably, just assume he's going to get ripped off and will underperform. Presumably Fury's flapping mouth will again give him motivation though.
