Wallin should have been disqualified for that thumbing

That was an old school move.

 

Possibly, at least a point deducted but Fury cant complain, he used a similar technique to KO Cunningham. Sometimes what goes around...

 

Yeah that’s ridiculous he didn’t even get points taken away for it

 

Definitely a point deduction. Clear and deliberate.

 

I agree stuff like that shouldn't be tolerated.

 

he learned it from Lennox Lewis, who got away with it too.

 

It was dirty. A point should have been taken. But fury is a fightin’ man. A fights a fight.

Wallin proved his manhood right there. He wasn’t there to be fury’s lap dog

 

Fury could have been deducted a point for excessive holding. And his tactic of bending at the waist and leading with his head is also illegal.

 

Nothing wrong with a little raking of the face..twas all in good fun.

 

2 point reduction in my book.....

 

Should've been a point deduction at least. It was pretty egregious.

I was starting to root for Wallin until that point. Not that I completely sided with Fury after though.

Aiming for the cut with legal punches? Sure, just part of the game, for better or worse.

Raking your thumb against the cut, as you retract your arm... while using the ref's separation as cover? Not as okay.

 

point deduction for sure 100%

 

It was real roughhouse stuff. Don't forget the cut was only bad because Fury had been headbutted by Wallin once or twice before he was punched in the same area.

That said, I'm sure Fury is expecting this stuff from those who want to have a go. Indeed, after he'd complained to Weeks, from round 7 he simply got on with smothering and dog-fighting Wallin without further complaint.

I actually quite liked the intensity and grit of his work, and even more-so with one eye.

 

how long before butthurt K bro fan mentions his prime man getting his face ripped to shreds and eye hanging out by worst lewis?
