@@ronoccc you know how boxing is scored, yeah? Effective Aggression, not giving the impression of dominance but landed shots without being countered, Ring Generalship, the fighter who controls the action enforcing his will (0 points awarded for holding the entire match), Defense (slipping, parrying and blocking punches) and lastly Hard Clean Punches (power punches mainly that land clean, landing flush and not blocked). Dillian Whyte got smashed by Joshua, Fury will make a complete shithouse out of all of them (Wilder, Joshua, Whyte etc.) This video is Fury's 8th pro fight and the first against a true challenge. Whyte lost to AJ his 17th pro fight and his last win was over a 35 year old Derek Chisora. Other notable fights he's had since AJ include Joseph Parker and another earlier bout with Chisora, who Fury made a complete joke out of Chisora their last go about.

Furys corner knew he lost, they sent him out for the knockout in the 10th because they knew he should be down on the cards. Dont try and justify a scorecard of 98-92 to Fury.

Turning your back and walking away from your opponent is the same as a knockdown. That's how McDermott lost. Also, I never saw a low blow but just a great body punch. Since there was no replay I think that Fury won for being credited by the referee for 3 knockdowns and the holding, and throwing elbows by McDermott.

96-94 Fury. I had Fury winning round 1 and 3 other than that I agreed with the broadcasters card. I think it becomes controversial because of the biased commentary which I see time and time again in British boxing. I think at the start of the fight they were maybe surprised that McDermott was having little successes here and there and really talked it up and began convincing themselves and others that John was winning rounds. Especially the guy with the thick accent. 98-92 is pretty wide which adds to the controversy.

[@mortcola]

The BBBC changed their scoring rules and procedures as a result of this bad decision. But in this fight, you also notice what happens when even a good local fighter who lets his hands go imposes himself on Fury. Very few of his opponents move their feet or throw combinations, the way heavyweights used to. Fighters with an aggressive Plan A, the ability to throw those shots, and a Plan B at least, have given Fury a great deal of difficulty. Wilder had no ability to do that....he lacks even fundamentals. Whyte is tough, but a sluggish slugger. Fury is "retiring" without a single world-class, two-fisted opponent on his record. Usyk is leagues beyond any of Fury's opponents in technique, aggression, footwork, and capacity to throw combinations.

I gave McDermott 3,4,5 and 8. I think 1 and 3 were both pretty close but otherwise I can't see much more room to give either man a round over the other. 98 to 92 is ridiculous but Tyson winning the fight to me isn't unfair. I think this fight was so much closer than the 98 to 92 that was scored and way closer than all the band wagoners who say McDermott got robbed say it was as well. Just my opinion but that's what I believe. I guess this is why we're supposed to have 3 judges.

[@johnquick7576]

The last two rounds fury hurt McDermott and the reff stepped in a few times in the same manner that save mcD from being knocked out and when he turned and went to the ropes is when one of the 3 I'm speaking of started and finished.

[@SansAppellation]

I had it a draw, but I could see the argument for McDermot, as he just kept walking Fury down and did some good inside work. Then again I can kind of understand why a loan judge/referee could give it to Fury, due to the sheer volume he was throwing. McDermot might have landed the stronger punches, but a lot were coming off Fury's shoulders and from inside fighting. So it is understandable if the ref missed some of his punches in a close fight. Whereas Fury was continuously snapping McDermot's head back as he landed cleanly with "cuffing shots" and "arm punches" The commentary for this was more of a disgrace than the decision if you ask me

[@quackster8295]

Yeah I could have seen if going either way. I had Tyson up one round but I wouldn’t argue against a draw or a McDermott win. There were lots of very close rounds between the two but the commentary swayed a lot of people’s opinions. They had Fury losing before he entered the ring

[@hometruthshomie8688]

Problem, even back then is/was that McDermott was not as marketable as Fury or Danny Williams who he also claimed to have gotten robbed against. An average looking Joe who was a decent boxer but nothing to write home about. That is why, the marketable fighters, always get preferential treatment when it comes to close fights that go to a decision. There is too much hype and money invested in them, to fall against more experienced boxers who fight better on the night, but don't set the world on fire. Fury had a more marketable back story and that has helped him get where he is today, as well as having equal talent, and boxing IQ/ability. its show business and entertainment too as well as one of the toughest sports on the planet.

[@Flow4EverPlays]

I’m going to say it right now. You can hate me if you want but half of the shots from McDermott that the commentators thought landed didn’t even land. Fury definitely won this fight! Hate me if you want but it’s the truth!!!!

Any idea why the referee judged this❓ This previous bout for the English title had judges: boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:1161246

[@justinutley6499]

If you think McDermott won this fight you clearly have no idea how boxing is scored. Thank the lord fury had smart judges

[@guitarHero1885]

7-3 fury. wtf - all haters are casual and have no clue what they are seeing? same with the commentary.

[@andrewcorbett5729]

2020. Haye ringside in Vegas watching Fury cement his legend.

[@perin99]

The commentary was ridiculously biased against Tyson. Watch it without the sound and you'll see that Tyson won this by some margin.

Jimmy you need to lay off the crack tyson lost by 3 clear rounds

[@nickyhenderson3746]

Done a packet on this fight, never bet on boxing again after this.

[@Hogbearer]

i scored it 96-94 fury. he won rounds 1 2 3 5 9 10. if you look at some of mcdermotts punches that landed clean , you see the ref s view blocked on several occasions. could have been a telling factor a few rounds were very close. rounds 1 and 3.....which i scored for fury.

[@RobBrown1991]

It's a lot closer than it sounded based on Kugan's interview.

[@combinhisheadpiece6717]

Fury lost by a couple of rounds

[@combinhisheadpiece6717]

@Brother Spartacus no chance

[@combinhisheadpiece6717]

@Brother Spartacus he did not win at least 5 rounds, pay attention to the fight, guy could not hold his range, was getting hit with the cleaner shots to head and body and lost the fight by at least 2 rounds

[@combinhisheadpiece6717]

@Brother Spartacus nothing to do with anything I heard or commentary, I watched the fight for what it was, Fury had some good jabs and won some rounds but he was not in control of the fight and was being made to engage unsuccessfully in McDermotts preferred style of attrition. How the referee managed to score that 98-92 in Furys favour is embarrassing.

[@combinhisheadpiece6717]

@Brother Spartacus Fury himself you could see by his reaction and the instructions of his corner going into the final round, did not believe he was winning the fight

[@ovobegzinoii51]

52:52 the words of a true champion offers a rematch straight after a close fight and knocks him out just as he said he would do. Crazy how this man would go on to become the only fighter to hold every single World championship belt in heavyweight boxing. The Gypsy King is a G.O.A.T.

When fury won round 7 it was down hill for McDermott

[@billyjoestewart6561]

I'm just glad I was the one not having to make the call! It was a good fight but Fury's youth definitely showed. Today's Fury much different results.

[@Sam-ng3of]

From wiki On 11 September 2009, Fury fought John McDermott (25-5, 16 KOs) for the English heavyweight title, and won via a points decision.[54] Fury came in as a 1-6 favourite but produced a poor display, and the 98-92 decision by the referee Terry O'Connor was criticised as a "travesty".[55] The decision led the British Boxing Board of Control to mandate three judges for all English titles, and the board ordered a rematch.[56]

[@quackster8295]

Definitely not a landslide for either fighter. Almost all rounds were close

[@harleyyoung9585]

And tyson fury floored him in the rematch

[@Valchrist1313]

20:00 Commentator talking about McFermott's lack of experience.... I just came from the second fight, a year later, where they were talking about McDermott having all the experience and being the veteran fighter. Guess it was a big year?

Of course, these commentators had Fury losing even before he walked in. This was a close fight but I have Fury winning by one round. Hell, I could’ve seen McDermott winning as well. Some of these rounds are close, closer than people think. You need to watch this fight without the commentary to realize

[@tazzarman]

tyson won this fight,it was close but the points added up for tyson,the commentaters were bias

[@lauralishes1]

I'd say this fight could've been a draw. McDermott did win more than the 2 rounds but it wasn't a clear win for McDermott like some think. Tyson beat him in the rematch and he's done a lot of work to get where he is. Tyson has been robbed himself, he clearly won the 1st wilder fight.

[@RingsideReporterLive]

I scored it a draw.

[@EliteAstro_OfficialChannel]

Agreed

[@niallholmes1398]

What the fuck were Johnny nelson and and that other guy on. Fury may of had to dig deep but you can’t take this win away from him. Watched it 3 times now, fury won rounds 1 2 3 5 7 9 and 10 round 4 you could score as a draw 🙄 well done Tyson well deserved win #gypsy king

[@frankbrunosafro5864]

course he did.

[@harambe7430]

gypsychavie just because the ref put fury’s hands up doesn’t mean he actually won, that’s what’s called a robbery.

[@SansAppellation]

@@harambe7430 I had it a draw, but I could see the argument for mcdermot. Then again I can kind of understand why a loan judge/referee could give it to Fury, due to the sheer volume he was throwing. McDermot might have landed the stronger punches, but a lot were coming off Fury's shoulders and from inside fighting. So it is understandable if the ref missed some of his punches in a close fight. Whereas Fury was continuously snapping McDermot's head back as he landed cleanly with "cuffing shots" and "arm punches" The commentary for this was more of a disgrace than the decision if you ask me

[@fractal_mind562]

I think it's close enough to have anyone win it .... But 98 - 92 is fucking ridiculous ! Why is the referee solo judging a boxing match anyway... I dont think either man WON but McDermot didnt lose by 6 rounds...

[@stevehicks9381]

in my eyes John won that fight not fury. it was fixed.

[@reluctantgamer3879]

If Andy Ruiz get to top shape and be motivated to the fullest i think then Ruiz would give Fury a good fight after watching this fight. The smaller guy is more clinic against bigger guys.

[@user-ok5se6bs1q]

Fury was poor in this fight and was lucky to get the win but if we look at what happened after in his career he proved he is a lot better boxer than John mcDermott, everything happens for a reason and this could of derailed Tyson's future so maybe he deserved a bit of luck in the end

Did anyone notice Tyson's old man in the background during the interview? He made a big point to give McDermott due credit. Too many people slag off the Fury's.They are straight up people!

John McDermott as a fighter was was in better physical condition than most men. He would also have knocked any slinky mens health cover male model in to the middle of next month.
