I thought it was closer but McDermott maybe did enough to win. I'm still suprised Fury got the decision, though:conf. Poor McDermott gets no luck:-(.
The fight was pretty close, I had it a draw, having turned the sound down pretty much all the way through because I couldn't stand Watt blowjobbing Macca. But 98-92 is just a joke.
I have to say i'm quite sickened by that decision. At best Fury could have been given a generous draw, but to have scored it 98-92 is quite pathetic, even by nutjob O'Connor's standards. It just further highlights (not like its required judging by some of the atrocious decisions we had over the years) the necessity to take away this ref scoring a fight lunacy we have over here.
This is where a ref interview is needed to explain that....if he could even try explain that scorecard.
That's one of the worst decisions I've seen. Giving the win to Fury was bad, but the scoring? What did Mcdermott arse **** him in a past life or something?
To partly paraphrase Jim Lampley after Holyfield-Lewis 1: "That's a travesty, that is ladies and gentleman a travesty, an outrage, a highway robbery, John McDermott has just been robbed of the undisputed heavyweight championship of England, he won it and he didn't get it."
I'm just surprised it wasn't Dave Parris who made the decision. Three judges needed for English title fights?
i liked fury and i dont blame him for the decison but he knows he lost and his interview was a joke and disrespectful
