Thought that the commentators were ridiculous with their judging, it seemed a fairly close fight to me, could've gone either way. However, O'Connor's judging was even more ridiculous. 6 rounds in it? **** off.
Fury is green and he'll learn and get better, but on that evidence, he'll never be a world title calibre fighter...Unless the HW division goes hugely downhill again...which is not impossible.Comment

Spot on. With regards to Fury, who knows. Clearly a career of things left to learn, but he's got the raw tools there. I reckon tonight will do him the world of good, both in terms of experience and what he'll need to do. I reckon his main problem is going to be aptitude - gyppo's don't tend to have the best work ethic ...Comment

I completely agree.
Apart from the fact that he lacked both basic defense and stamina, he showed himself to be a mess technically as a fighter. His jab is alright but he can't hide behind that all night, even against the more rudimentary fighters at the national level. The contrast between he and McD in terms of skill, accuracy and ring smarts was a sight to behold. He was made to look sloppy and unprofessional right off the bat. I feel 99% confident this was some sort of fix. And as I viewer I really didn't enjoy watching this - regardless of how much Sky Sports tried to convince me it was "a terrific, exciting night of boxing."
Can't stand sloppy ****e like that...Comment

Nah, I pretty much agree with the assessment that McDermott was well ahead by atleast 3 rounds.
He landed the more accurate punches, overcame Fury's height and reach advantage, almost matched him with the jab, backed the bigger man into corners and against the ropes, and looked much fresher throughout the contest. I just can't see how this was given to Fury, even if he showed "character". I mean, fair ****s, but the lad needs the basics drilled into him yet. He was ****e on the clinches and coming off the break, his punch vocab was limited pretty much to a jab, an undercut and a few wild swings, he looked shot after the fourth round, and I really felt his "rallies" after taking yet another McD combo were little more than the zombie punches of a man who isn't used to being in the ring with someone as accurate and (I can't believe I'm about to write this) fit as John Mc. I don't think he deserved the victory and I don't think he has enough raw talent to fix all his many problems if they try to move him up to bigger things straight away. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to get excited about Fury because he's got charisma and some potential, but I didn't think he was "it" tonight and he certainly won't be the heavyweight "it" that British boxing is crying out for.Comment
