That fight was nonsense. I was mad as hell too because I bet on McDermott on the grounds that Fury is a neverwas.Comment

I heard his interview on Talksport he said he thought he won and that the if you watch the fight without the commentary that the fight was not as close as people thought, he promised to KO McMuffin this time.
Watt might have been going over the board with the commentary but lets not forget that Haye was at ringside and he also thought Fury was losing, so its a bit delusional to think that he won the fight and that Watt was giving McDermott too much credit.
He tried to play down the fact that McCdermott was busting his chops with the better punches and said he was landing more, he was prolly throwing more i dont know about landing.Comment

To be honest I did think the fight was closer the 2nd time I watched it but why not have a rematch, was a good domestic scrap so why not do it again.Comment

O Connor is a complete joke. This is the same ref who made the worst stoppage ever in the Calzaghe - Manfredo fight but he was willing to let Amir Khan continue in the Prescott fight after he had been floored & when Khan got back up he was completely out on his feet and O Connor basically just let Prescott hammer him again.Comment
