Fury's fans got all manner of shit thrown their way in the run up to the fight, most of it simply due to them supporting Fury to win. This despite the fact that a large number were not only remarkably civil (some of them were shit stirrers to be fair) but gave detailed breakdowns of how they felt the fight would go down, breakdowns that proved to be freakishly accurate in the aftermath.
So I think denium's perfectly justified in feeling vindicated in his beliefs, even more than half a year on. Fury continues to get shat on and his fans continue to get grief. The victory is also consistently downplayed and rendered a fluke (though how a twelve round shut out can be considered a fluke is beyond me). It's one of the hardest fan bases to be a part of.
