    So then who wins this? Fury is 1/5 to win this on Paddy Power. Do you think it will be easy for him as the bookies are making out?

    I think Fury wins, but at 1/5, I wouldn't touch that, not as an away fighter, what's the saying, you're one punch away from a K.O. and seeing that I don't think anyone has ever landed anything on Fury since he has been pro (I've no idea what his record or pedigree in the am's was like), taking a 1/5 doesn't seem good value, those are the sort of odds you'd get on Man United beating Hull at Old Trafford!

    For what it's worth, my guess would be Fury by stoppage in the 7th......but I won't bet on it!!!

    Fury has an iron jaw! He withstood his own uppercut!

    Ha ha, was going to say apart from the uppercut he landed on himself!

    Serious though, anyone know if he does have a good jaw?

    Please let John be the one to show this overhyped Fury for the poor amateur fighter he is. The guy still leans back from punches with his eyes shut! Anyone who throws more than a 3 punch combo will humiliate him. But is that McDermott?? Probably not. But lets see him fight Price.

    Fury to stop him in around the last 3 rounds.

    When the fight was announced I thought it was a step too far for Fury. Having watched McDermott since I dont think it's going to be as big a leap.

    I think that the question is going to be how much gas Fury has in the tank. This is scheduled for 10 rounds, has Fury been past 4 yet?

    It's conceivable that Fury could knock him out in three, just as he could win a wide UD. But I dont think it's unrealistic that McDermott could take him to school in the later rounds. Hard one to judge for me this. I initially went McDermott, I'm now edging towards Fury but I really do think it's a coin toss.

    Appreciate Fury's approach of staying active and fighting decent level opposition, not sure he'll be the future of the division but I suppose it's good that he's around. It at least gets us talking!

    McDerrmott got KTFO by the only decent opponent he faced and it will happen again.

    Fury's got too much class for Mcdermott. It will be a stand and deliver job ALA Balshaw

    I think Fury wins in about 4 or 5 rounds, i think Mcdermott will go for broke early and try knock him out and if he doesnt Fury will take over the fight.

    Can't see anything but a win for Fury but McDermott should put up the first real test for him.
