Comments Thread For: How Fury-Wallin Was Influenced By ESPN's Intrusion

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former two-division champion and current ESPN expert boxing analyst Andre Ward has for years utilized Stay in your lane' as his go-to catchphrase for just about any boxing-related topic. It's a shame his colleague, Joe Tessitore didn't take that very advice in his most recent call. The longtime ESPN lead announcer has come under fire-though not nearly enough as it relates to media scrutiny-for his ringside actions during Saturday's ESPN+ event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nev.

The boxer with the cut should absolutely know anyway. Fury should have been informed at the earliest time by the panel who made the decision (rightly so) to declare it a punch. Then a boxer can decide to go for broke or not. This needs to be enforced now into boxing.

I picked Wallin to win but the fighter needs to be informed ,I don't see any reason why any paid executive or whoever working the fight cannot inform them.

You’d think Bob Arum or Frank Warren would have found out for certain and informed Team Fury.

... does the article claim that Fury should have been left in the dark of the commission's official ruling?

Who, pray tell, is criticizing?? ESPN did exactly the right thing. A better question is, why did it fall to ESPN to do it? The referee gave Fury's corner incorrect information and that needed to be corrected asap.

If you read the article, you'll see that the answer to your question is 'No.'

Says that the commission and Weeks should have been in communication, and that it's Weeks job to tell both corners.

Which is true.

Fury and his two promoters were both shytting themselves when that cut happen.. My favorite was Fury crying when Wallin tried to rip open his cut with his glove.. Lol. Wallin had zero gas in the tank.. Punched his self out and was fighting on fumes all night.. The boxing Gods warned Fury! Next Fury and Warren will use this as a excuse to duck the rematch again!
