Fury, a giant of a man with all the chat, took a horrible 10-round decision over McDermott last September from referee Terry O'Connor, the sole arbiter and a former heavyweight pro himself. It was arguably the worst verdict on these shores since David Barnes took a 12-round decision over Jimmy Vincent for the British welterweight title on a sweltering night in Dagenham in July 2003, courtesy of referee John Keane. Vincent never got a deserved rematch.
Fury was just 7-0 going in but all his fights had been televised, a run of quick, eyecatching wins, and he loomed so large and talked such a great fight that people were swayed. On the night the battle-hardened McDermott, who had challenged for the British heavyweight title three times, punched through the hype and was in surprisingly good shape for a man of his fleshy disposition, although Fury is also blubbery. McDermott kept on punching and looked well worth the English belt that instead went to Fury, who doesn't give the decisions and does the right thing in his first defence.
Who will have learned more? Fury, in my opinion - he will have improved. A hard distance battle was just what he needed to bring him on and he has come back with two easy wins, whereas McDermott has lurked on the sidelines and remained inactive. Yes, McDermott is on his own Essex manor but he will never come as close again to beating the Cheshire giant.
Fury, this time, takes a deserved decision.

Love it!

In all seriousness if the fight happens I would expect McDermott to win by late tko

Fury won't live with the fast pace that the camp will set, he will be ok for 3 rounds, then he will slow. I take McDermott to stop Fury in 6. Remember Jimmy trained Herbie Hyde and Danny Williams and both of them didn't do to bad undr him.
