Do we really have to sit through that shit again...The sight of John McD's rolling gut just turns miine. :-(.

[robpalmer135]

so the result has changed to a draw?

[ScouseLad]

Didnt say anything about the result, just a rematch within 90 days

[Losfer_Words]

Good and sensible move, IMO- let McDermott have a second shot and see what Fury can do next time out against him. Get the rematch in and let Fury fight once or twice in the build-up and accept the sparring with Haye. I think he'll he a lot more sensible next-time out and I'll certainly be watching (albeit with the commentary down again:yep).

[nickythekid]

i think fury will try to keep him on the end of his jab allnight, hopefully mcdermott can close the range down again and get his shots off, :happy GO ON BIG JOHN

[Lee Mc]

I think Fury wins easily next time.

I had the first fight 95-95 but, in the first 3 rounds, Fury proved that he can easily outbox McDermott. If he sticks to boxing rather than trying to look good this could be a very one-sided win.

[almsn]

That's a bit faiirer .Should be a no contest tho atleast

[RichDam]

Fury will win this. He knows where he went wrong last time. That is as good as it gets from McDermott.

[ishy]

Right move, ordering a rematch was the best thing the Board could do. Changing the result would have opened up a whole new can of worms.

[theuppercut]

It was an ok fight I thought Fury was very poor but a rematch had to happen.

Bit harsh to be fair. Imo it was a good fight, esepcailly compared to some of the domestic heavyweight shit we've had to watch over the last few years.

Sensible outcome, the board hardly ever overturn results so couldn't see that happening. I see Fury winning the re-match though which is a bit of a shame for McDermott.

Any news on whether any action has been taken against Terry O' Connor?

[robpalmer135]

So a 50-50 purse Split.

Especially now that Maloney has signed Price, there rivalray will be huge.

Maloney has got enough Heavyweight on his book that he could get Price into Mandatory for one of Furys titles within a year.

[pathmanc1986]

fury needs to take his conditioning seriously (dont even see the point in mentioning mcdermot) if he wants to be taken seriously. for example i was watching the fight in a pub in belfast where the casual sports fans take an interest usually, two guys walking past the tv

"you wana wait here and watch the boxing?"
"these two fat fucks? na fuck that"


after watching the rest of the fight i couldnt blame them

[Leighton T]

If Mcdermott trains as hard as shows the same heart & determination to get close to Fury, he'll win AGAIN

[Little Tyson]

Had to happen.

[ScouseLad]

Following Wednesday's hearing, the governing body honoured the decision but ordered the two back into the ring by Christmas.

Yup i had the same score. Was the right thing to do.

[antcull]

Great News.

Lets see if Furys learned anything...and if he does win it comfortably he should get massive credit. Will still be rooting for Big John though :yep

[robpalmer135]

this will be a nice addition to friday fight night in December.

Fury will of had 3 more fights by the time they get into the ring on the Dunne card, I reckon he will be on the Froch undercard and then probably a november fight before this in December.

also if Maloney wins the bid he will have Price on the card who will be in at least his 4th fight by then building up a nice rivalry.

[indie_uk1]

Terry o'connor was let off after his explanation to the board of control and deemed to carry on as a referee

[rossybhoy]

i think big john done as well as he could have in the first fight tyson will have learned a lot from that fight i can see tyson winning by a clear decision or maybe even a mid to late rounds stoppage

[DamonD]

I agree.

I'm glad a rematch is happening (and soon), McDermott deserves it.

And Fury should win cleanly this time. He'll certainly have plenty of footage to review on what NOT to do.

[Mazallan]

Glad we are getting a rematch. The first fight was entertaining but it would be nice to see if Fury can throw an hurtful punch.

[icemax]

There is every chance that Fury might just say fuck it and dump the bauble, especially if bigger fights appear on the horizon.

[anjawnaymiz]

mcdermott was always going to be the acid test for fury and he can learn a lot from fighting big john than fighting some tomato who's just showed up for the check.

well done for gettin the rematch ordered!

who thinks mcdermott vs rogan could be a good bust up in future?

[saturday_kid]

Got to agree there. Was talking to some of my non-boxing mates who had taken great pleasure in watching FFN and texted me all the results (as they knew I was at a gig and wanted to watch it after) and one casually mentioned, there was this one fight with 2 fat fuckers fighting each other. It was a bit embarassing letting him know that this was top of the bill and the state of the heavyweight scene these days.

[GazOC]

Good move by the Board. They were never going to be able (or willing) to over turn the result.

[Alyroo]

That's a bit faiirer .Should be a no contest tho atleast

No i don't think so. Can't go round changing the results of every fight we disagree the scoring of. The rematch order is the only real option the board had.

[GazOC]

I agree, overturning the result was never a realistic possibility and I'm glad the board didn't venture into that minefield.

[stork]

good decision.

Anyone know whether it will be the referee or 3 judges scoring the bout this time?

[achillesthegreat]

Perfect ruling. 90 days is more than enough time to re-prepare for a 10 rounder.

[GazOC]

good decision.

Anyone know whether it will be the referee or 3 judges scoring the bout this time?

I'd assume the ref will be sole scorer again.

[Alyroo]

All english title fights are scored only by the ref.

[stork]

Well as long as the ref does a good job this time it'll be ok i guess. I thought they might make an exeption considering the circumstance of the first fight.

[Alyroo]

Can't really changed the rules for one fight. Might lead to an overhaul of the system tho and have 3 judges or 2 plus the ref as an official rule change down the line. Maybe it'll be looked at after the next board meeting. We can but hope...

[Darni187]

Good stuff lets hope Mcdermott gets revenge.

[mike464]

Terry o'connor was let off after his explanation to the board of control and deemed to carry on as a refereeWhat?!

[DAVEMAKER]

That's a bit faiirer .Should be a no contest tho atleast
errr no, was a close fight, should every close fight ever fought be made a nc? fuck off

[Ilesey]

Good. War fatty!

I just hope he doesn't balls it up and put up a no show like he did against Danny Williams second time around.

Otherwise he should just fight O'Conner.

[nickythekid]

the way i see it mcdermott gets a lot of stick for his flabby appearance, but he has proved that hes fit as fuck, this is undeniable when you look at him fight. he is carrying alot of weight and if he lost it all and boiled down he wouldn't be fighting anywhere near heavyweight. so you could say that hes fighting out of his weight class, against fellas who are naturally bigger and stronger than him (muscle mass wise). he was fired upfor the fury fight, he was fit and gave his all, he deserves credit. also there are guys who look slim toned and fit and are anything but, they have just been blessed with good genetics. i bet mcdermot trains as hard as many fighters and harder than some who look alot better than him. rant over :lol:

[Harry Chibber]

Delighted this has gone to a re-match but I think Fury will KO McDermott this time round. Fury was obviously caught by suprise and didn't expect such a tough fight, I expect him to be better prepared and if he uses his jab it could be a very easy night for the gypo

[indie_uk1]

Agreed, Fury has so much to learn. I like the fact he wants to brawl as boxer, but his main strength has to be his jab, if used effectivelky he can set himself up to really finish these guys off

[Alyroo]

He needs to put more weight behind it tho. Mix it up a bit between range finders and purposful stiff jabs.

[trotter]

Well, I thought McDermott had his number. I kinda strugle to see Fury turning that into a clear win in the space of 3-4 months... if he does, fair play to him.

[trotter]

He has got the ability to turn that jab into a real weapon, it's his best punch by a mile. It's really top drawer - but he stopped throwing it and got drawn into an inside scrap against McDermott.

that rant was justifiable ,i was waiting for someone to back mcdermott up the way you have.it seems like there is a certain number of people who want to watch heavyweight boxing purely for the aesthetics of the fighters,they can watch the wrestling if thats what they like!
john has showed time and time again that he can go the distance and remain effective doing so.it's just a shame that a certain referee couldn't bring himself to see what most of us did. (travellers bribes must be good these days!).if he has been let off with his explanation to the board then that should be made public knowledge so the paying fans can have a reason why 98-92 was a fair score.
a rematch is a good idea,but sadly there will be no justice for big john!!

[David UK]

Fury will have learned a lot from the first fight(hopefully!!) and therefore I expect him to clearly outpoint McD, maybe even stop him late on.

Looking forward to watching with that prat Jim Watt on mute in case he tries to distort everyone perception of the fight again

[icemax]

the way i see it mcdermott gets a lot of stick for his flabby appearance, but he has proved that hes fit as fuck

But not as fit as he could be given that he is hefting at least 4 stone of excess blubber around the ring with him. If he dropped the weight he could show himself to be a real athlete and would probably be a euro force at cruiser. Stop eating pies John and step up :deal
