Fury v McDermott

[Laurent Robert]

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?

[EastLondonDan]

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!!!

[rockandrollstar]

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

[EastLondonDan]

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?

I was going to fight him one time but he turned pro.... I would of certainly found out if I landed one on him (which I would of:yep)

[neil hibbert]

fury early imo

[Ste Hawkins]

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.

[jonnytightlips]

Fury to stop him in around the last 3 rounds.

[PaddyD1983]

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!

[Mazallan]

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

[ricardoparker93]

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

[BoroBoxing1]

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.

[P4PNo.1]

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

THE FAT USELESS CUNT, PIECE OF SHIT :deal...John, do us all a favour, either train properly or quit, because at present and with that pie gut of yours you are an embarassment to British sport.

come on fella...thats not right...he's not that bad at all.
he came awfully close...and did in some peoples eyes..win a british heavyweight title..and to do that is a big achievement at a high level.

not saying i would bet on him here though.

Doug, thats what galls me...we were a corrupt deducted point away from that overweight disgrace getting his hands on a Lonsdale Belt, hence the embarassment. The bloke has obviously got a hell of an engine because he can go the full 12 hefting 4-5 stone of excess blubber around with him. Seriously, if he dropped the weight I reckon he could make cruiser, and be half decent.

He must have been reading your posts.

Apparently he is very upset with the criticism he receives, and has come out swinging, stating that he trains as hard as anyone and can keep up with middleweights on the pavement.

As you say he has one hell of an engine - but what must he be eating?

I might watch the Williams fights again, just to listen to the anger and blatant nuthuggery going on, for the mad laugh.

Will report back with scorecards later :yep

[Grant1]

Fury Decision.

[China Rich]

i can see mcdonut taking fury the distance and if tyson has the fitness he shld score a fairly wide ud. i just haven't seen any real power from fury yet, but maybe i'll be proven wrong come fight night

[icemax]

And if you are reading this John.....put the fucking pie down and get to the gym :deal

fury tko

[slip&counter]

funny report on this fight on look north, woodddddddya will have it up on daily motion

[branchini1979]

Do you think everytime Fury walks down to the ring he is auditioning for Strictly come dancing.

The way he dances to the ring with his inane grin......

So graceful!!

;)

To be honest I think McDermott is one of those people who is never gonna look good. As has been said though he's got an engine on him, if it goes to the later rounds could cause problems for Fury??

Fury in the 7th for me though.

[SeasideSlugger]

Anyone know what timeish they're due in the ring??

Just planning my pub route for tomorrow evening!

[doug.ie]

anyway...i'm really really looking forward to this one

[kosaros]

Quotes taken from Larry Olubamiwo who posts on boxrec about the weigh-in:


"fury came in at 17st 9lbs which is his lightest ever and did look in better shape than previous fights and john was the lightest he has been for a long time. I think he was 18st 1lb."

"both seem confident which is crucial for mcdermot as he has been known to bottle it on occasion before the fight but he seems really up for it. In his interview for sky, he said that fury calling him mcmuffin was the worse thing he could have done as that really made him train hard and he does look better than he has ever looked. he also said that he gives all his opponents respect and that fury hasn't done anything yet unlike Danny Williams. Fury was his usual arrogant self, when they asked them to both look at the camera, when john looked at the camera fury stood infront of him and kept eyeballing him and stood him he was gonna get knocked out. John then said he was gonna knock him out."

[Beeston Brawler]

247 is more like it from Fury but still a good half stone too heavy, though I doubt it will matter much against McDermott, who at 253 is a good two stone over what he ought to (and could easily) be.

[David UK]

Fury with ease. McDermott is always horribly out of condition. I know boxing isn't a 'who's got the best physique contest' but McDermott's awful condition would indicate he doesn't train anywhere near hard enough and/or has a terrible diet.

[TFFP]

Fury cracks me up.

[Mandanda]

''I was moving house at the time'' of all the excuses i ever heard :rofl

Fury looks fired up and lean and ready to land his first title.

[TFFP]

He could still get down to around 238 I reckon. He's tall but he's not heavily built.

Is this on TV anywhere?

[daveyboy1609]

John Mcdermott looks massive. A disgrace really. Hope Fury knocks him out quickly.

[Flea Man]

McDermott's body language (no pun intended I'm referring to when he 'said his bit') doesn't exude confidence IMO.

Fury is still funny as fuck and I'm rooting for him all the way. He's a right lad, right up for it and you know he will go for it when under pressure. He just doesn't seem like the kind of guy who will back down if hurt. Whether he can TAKE IT is another matter entirely. It's all good being brave. But it sounds stupid but he 'looks' like he has a good chin. Big head I guess (also a big target)


Larry seems a nice guy.

Ashley Sexton looks a right nobhead, doesn't sound or look like a fighter. Isn't he a super-fly? If he wants the big fights chuck Jason Booth in with him (he can still make super-fly apparently) to teach him not to run his mouth off.

Fury; funny, has charm.

Sexton; gormless and twatty,

It's on Sky

[Losfer_Words]

Good vid thanks, Kos:good. Fury looks a little bit more trim than in the past as well. He's getting there- maybe the stint in Germany is what he needed. I honestly cannot wait for this one. Plenty of funny comments as well:lol:.

Fleaman, I haven't heard anyone call someone a 'gorm' in ages:lol::good.

[jordan1]

:-(

[antcull]

Cheers for the vid Kos.

Was that meant to be McMuffin in the shape in his life? :think

Really looking forward to this actually.

:lol: he is though ain't he?

[Beeston Brawler]

McDermott just doesn't look 'right' - not just in terms of the shape he is in, but his demeanour.

The quick chat then was a bit like the Audley Harrison interview after the Rogan fight, repeating himself all the time.

[mcguirpa]

Fury; funny, has charm.

Sexton; gormless and twatty,

I like that summary. I can't understand it when people call Fury and arrogant prick and the like. Whenever I see him talk he looks like a genuinely likeable bloke to me. Confident, obviously - but funny with it.

Sexton reminds me of Gareth from the office. This is him looking his best
--->:silly

[punk]

Fury 4th round stoppage.

[DamonD]

Hope Fury wins, by knockout.

McDermott is a good opponent to have at this stage, but if Fury is to have serious ambitions in the division he'll need to look good here.

If McDermott wins, he'll angle for a third go-around with Williams, but while fairly close they were also two pretty bad fights as well, and we'd also lose an undefeated prospect in Fury.

So better if Fury wins it emphatically. Put the pressure on McDermott early and keep it on until he falls, don't let rounds drift by.

[DOM5153]

ooooooooooh, furys gonna dig in those body shots

[davidjay]

arry seems a nice guy.

I may have mis-heard, but Hennessy says Sexton's sold 300 tickets and Sexton himself says he might not be fighting?

[SouthpawSlayer]

is that the war machine at the end of the vid, i forget his name it was a mad african name

[kosaros]

is that the war machine at the end of the vid, i forget his name it was a mad african name

Larry is not an African name. You apologise to Mr Olubamiwo right now!

[SouthpawSlayer]

that was it he lost his last fight didnt he, guy is huge

[kosaros]

Yep, it was never screened (I wonder why :yep), but I was there - he started well enough, then he just gassed and got outboxed. I gave it to Peret by 2-3 points in a 6 rounder. Apparently he has lost some weight which is good, and hopefully he works on pacing himself.

[Darni187]

Wow lot of people going for Fury to win by KO, remember even Danny Williams found it hard to rock this man of kebab fat. If its goes past 6 then McDermott can take Fury into into unknown waters, should be a good test for Fury.

[Beeston Brawler]

Williams to coin a Roach phrase - 'can't pull the trigger anymore'.

It took him seven to get rid of Airich a while back, and could barely put a dent in Sosnowski, whose record is seriously padded.

[stork]

I hope fury Ko's him. Nothing annoys me more than fat Hw's that don't seem to care about getting in shape. How does Mcdermott expect us to believe he runs better than middleweights. If they were following a trail of pukka pies then i could beleive him but theres noway this guy trains as hard as he should.

[SeasideSlugger]

If I was a boxer i'd like to think i'd get myself into the best shape possible, at the best weight possible.

I wouldn't turn up looking like a fat bastard. It just shows a total lack of dedication. Just getting by and not trying to the max.

Also, and I don't mean to bring vanity into it but..........You're on telly for fucks sake, everyone can see you looking like utter shit!

[kosaros]

"To be honest the worse thing he's done is call me McMuffin," McDermott said. "That's the worst thing he's done because I have trained like a maniac.

:lol::lol::lol:

[Beeston Brawler]

If that's what happens when he trains like a maniac, God only knows what he will look like after a Bowe-esque binge?

[BigEars]

Ah now lets be fair to Sexton, it seems like he's getting stick here just because he looks like a hairdresser. What he said wasn't really that cocky.

He's a Flyweight aswell, not a Super-Flyweight fleaman so any talk of fighting Jason Booth(who's now fighting at Super-Bantamweight anyway) is redundant. He'd probably beat Chris Edwards and anyone else at British Flyweight level at the moment. Super-Flyweight is a bit tougher, Haskins would probably be too much at the moment.

is he a still fighting 2night

[BigEars]

is he a still fighting 2night

Dunno, doesn't matter really as I doubt he'll be getting a serious test if he does fight.

[TFFP]

McDermott MIGHT actually hit Fury for the first time in his career. He has a sneaky uppercut, remember the one he hit Williams with and should have finished him? If Fury can be tagged by his own...

But alas, I see Fury coming through. Purely on confidence as much as anything. Fury believes he's the greatest thing since sliced bread, or at least Larry Holmes, McDermott fights scared.

[Laurent Robert]

How many rounds is it?

[kosaros]

is he a still fighting 2night

Yep, he is fighting against the 'Daddy of padded records' :p

There is a fighter called Price?

Lads 12 minutes now till the show starts....go on the GF and pledge your allegiance to being in the ''Fury Trailer Gang'' before people say your jumping on bandwagon.

Fury TKO 4 or Corner pulls Mcdermott out in round 7. :think

:bbb

[antcull]

Here we go!!!! :happy

This will tell us if the Fury hype is worth it! To a degree

Fair play to Fury though, never thought id get excited over an english heavyweight title fight

[achillesthegreat]

Can someone PM so I can come round and watch the fight.

[widdy]

yesssss bring it on boys,fuckin A

[DamonD]

Well, the result ended up being almost the worst possible thing that could have happened for Fury, short of getting knocked out.

Worse than actually losing a points decision arguably, because this way you'll have people saying he's being over-favoured.
