Fury came in as a 1–6 favourite but produced a poor display, and the 98–92 decision by the referee Terry O'Connor was criticised as a "travesty". The decision led the British Boxing Board of Control to mandate three judges for all English titles, and the board ordered a rematch.

Yeah I thought he lost a pretty close fight, and yeah if the ref waved it off I wouldn't have had an issue with it.
Is it what it is, Usyk is a tremendous boxer, credit to the man.
Personally, I would've found the stoppage a bit controversial if it was stopped in the 9th when the count was administered. Think the ref did a good job there.
Good to see an honest reply from someone I remember supporting Fury.
I couldn’t care less about McDermott but more importantly how are you coping since the loss I know Fury is your guy. Do you feel Fury lost the first? Do you believe the fight should have been stopped in the 9th or he was a punch away from falling flat on his face?

Yes, we all know that Fury arguably lost to McDermott over a decade ago, nobody cares.

- - Except that Blubber was robbed of the final round KO when the 260 lb McD turned tail in the middle of a pasting to sprint across the ring to the ropes to keep from being KOed.
Ref blew the call, a clear DQ or TKO just like the ref did Saturday as Usyk was bouncing Blubber around ring and into the ropes and turnbuckles like he was some kind of rubberized punch monkey.
Does U chaps even watch boxing? Clearly U don't understand it.

He beat the brakes off Dubois
He certainly did but Dubois still took all the wind out of his sails with that perfectly executed punch to the midriff. I don’t care enough about him to cry about it and was against his appeal for a rematch but he stopped Usyk:lol1::lol1:

watch it!
Talking of John Mcdermott he pulled an early prototype of Andy Ruiz vs AJ which I always enjoy.

He got mugged off vs Danny Williams for the British title as well.
A deceptively good domestic level fighter
