    Is Terry O'Connor just a ****ing **** who lives on another planet where points are scored in a boxing contest for every punch you get hit with?

    Opinions?







    PS: Fair play to Frank Maloney. Truer words never spoken.

    Partly because he's unbeaten, partly because he was heavily favoured.

    If you watch a fight and are only looking for what you want (or expect) to see you can get a weird distortion.

    No-one wants to see a fat bloke be champion. Especially O'Connor apparently.

    I felt it was a draw, and initially I assumed Tezza was motioning for both of their arms......

    After almost committing suicide listening to Watt I turned the sound down, Macca was doing a lot of lunging and holding, whilst Fury's workrate was pretty good at times.

    We do need three scoring judges, or even a single judge. Referees should referee, judges should judge.

    That decision was in competence pure and simple. O conner is a former pro himself so he must have seen john was having the best of the exchanges, fury basically had nothing left in the last few rounds and was throwing arm punches and fighting in spurts. Mcdermott was tired but landing better shots. The board should order an imediate rematch

    I agree, Watt and Smith ruined that fight for me completely, it was closer than 98-92 clearly, but the Sky team were overly biased towards McDermott.

    he won it because we still have this pathetic practice of refs judging title fights

    Watts card wasn't the issue, 2 rounds was reasonable, but the commentary was so one-eyed it became farcical. Adam Smith is useless.

    the sky pundits are all a disgrace if fury was with sky they'd be saying he won the fight, they just come out with absolute contrived bull**** and say a lot of nothing
