    I had McDermott winning by a few points. Bit risky how he turned his back on Fury towards the end, though I guess with the ref knowing the score he felt no need to make an issue of it.

    I had it 96-94 to big John and that was the kindest I could be on Fury tbh.

    Cant imagine what John must be feeling now.

    Look forward to the rematch and I will be supporting Big John all the way!

    think it was balance issues more than anything

    no way Big John lost.

    Furys a *****, a complete tosser.

    This wasnt just a case of the ref getting it wrong on the night, this is a case of a fight where the result was pretty much decided even before they fought. (imo of course)
     
  9. I had it 96-94 to McDermott. I hope the rematch happens.

    I had it 95-95 but, I admit in hindsight, I was very genorous towards Fury in one of the rounds I gave him.

    I honestly can't see how McDermott won by 4 rounds because I had him losing the first 3 and I don't think he won, as he would had had to have done, every round from the 4th onwards to achive that score. However, all that said, the 98-92 offiical score was, with no doubt, one of the most disgraceful I have ever witnessed in a British ring.

    An immediate re-match HAS to be ordered by the BBBC AND an investigation into O'conner's ability to referee fights MUST be launched.

    Good fight......credit to both men.

    I had McDermott winning it by 2 rounds.

    Let's get the rematch sorted quickly, I want to see it.

    Fury has been shown as the rank amateur he is. The way he leant back and squinted when John threw punches to his face..novice. He STILL believes his own hype and did even after the fight, (when he should be eating humble pie and apologising for not being the great fighter he claims to be) he was trying to sell himself as the best in Europe and Britain!?
    The commentators Adam Smith and Jim Watt were not biased, they saw what I saw. Fury will fold like a deck of cards against a strong punching, aggressive heavyweight. At present he's lucky to scrape in the top ten in England. Give me David Price, Chris Burton, Chisora, Williams, even Audley would KO Fury. He's a cleverly named gimmick.
