Lockett: "McDermott, The Victim of Many Poor Decisions"
By Mark Vester
Several UK fighters are speaking out on the poor decision that was rendered on Friday night when Tyson Fury (8-0, 7KOs) won a controversial ten round decision over John McDermott (25-6, 16KOs) to win the BBBofC English heavyweight at the Brentwood Centre in Brentwood, Essex. A sole score of 98-92 was given by referee Terry O'Connor.
One of those fighters is retired middleweight Gary Lockett. BoxingScene.com received Lockett's comments on the decision. He wasn't impressed with Fury at all. Lockett feels sorry for McDermott. He saw him as the clear winner of the fight.
"For all Tyson Fury's big words he looked very labored last night. You've got to feel sorry for Big John, how many times is he going to be the victim of poor decisions. We have to ask ourselves how a clear decision win ends up going to the guy who has been well beaten - the BBB of C should definitely punish these referees but don't hold your breath, that ain't going to happen," Lockett said.
