"I've Lived in an 'Ole For 6 Weeks..."

[Booze]

Remember that fighter what punched himself in the face?

Well, his name is Tyson Fury (lol), he's fighting tonight & the weigh-in shenanigans have been looping on Sky Sports News today. He's upset his opponent a bit by calling him 'a McMuffin', but you can't help thinking he might have a point. I love how the site has translated McDermott's quotes from cockney into English.


McDermott's Fury at jibes
English champion vows to let fists do talking

http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12183_5549336,00.html

Unbeaten heavyweight Tyson Fury has angered John McDermott with his trash talking ahead of their bout for the English title on Friday night.

The giant 21-year-old has swept aside all in his path so far, claiming seven straight wins by way of knockout.

But Fury is set for his most serious test at the Brentwood Centre in Essex on Friday night against a man that has mixed it with the likes of Danny Williams and Matt Skelton.

Rather than looking to play down expectations, though, it seems the Fury is doing everything he can to rile his opponent.

\"John McDermott, What can you say about him? He's a bit chubby, but he's a good fighter. I'm definitely going to knock him out though,\" Fury told Sky Sports News.

\"There's only one man going to be touching down and it isn't Tyson Fury, guaranteed.\"
Anger

To make matters worse, Big Bad John will be on home turf on Friday night and, after a tempestuous weigh-in, now has all the motivation he needs for the bout.

\"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.

\"I've lived in a hole for six weeks, kept away from my family, I've done nothing but train so it's the worst thing he's done was to call me that.

\"He's in for a war. I'm going to knock him out that's what's going to happen. Talking isn't fighting. Fighting's fighting and talking's talking.

It's from a Brit site, but you shouldn't have any BBC style region problems with the video.

No points for spotting what would be different about this heavyweight bout if it was happening in the States.

[Dr. P]

Who won?

[TheWagesofSin]

"Tyson Fury"? lmao If you've got a name like that, you'd better be a hell of fighter, or a porn actor with a fifteen-inch dick. Either way, punching yourself in the face sort of negates the whole thing.


Still..."McMuffin"...lmao :score:

[Booze]

:rofl::rofl:

The geezer's 6 foot NINE, so I don't reckon many people have told him he sounds like a gay porn star.

Russ, the shit goes down tonight. You know I'm setting my DVR for Fight Night Live.

[Hole In Face]

Booze, is boxing still 'big' over there? Do you have to have premium channels to watch it or do they still show that on basic cable like they used to do here in the late 80's to mid 90's? Shit, I watched a lotta good fights on USA back in the day. I miss that.

[Booze]

No, it's completely fucked out, just like it is over there.

But I miss it, too. That's why I'm all psyched to watch this fight, just because a lanky northerner called a porky Londoner a McMuffin.

The Hatton fights & that last Calzaghe one were on PPV. But there's been a resurgence of showing decent bouts on terrestrial telly & Sky Sports.

[Hole In Face]

Damn it, I wish that would happen here! I bet that eastern europe/slovak/sub-human countires have a shitload of boxing on regular TV. Yeah, they're beaner-poles and they fight worth a shit, but it's the principal of the thing. Bring back boxing to mainstream TV. People love it, especially if it's semi-legit and don't have to pay $50 to watch it.

[TheWagesofSin]

They still show some pretty good lightweight/featherweight fights on one of the beaner channels (telemundo?) on either Friday or Saturday night. Sure, the commentary's in Spanish, but who gives a shit? I've flipped through the channels and caught a good fight once or twice. And the boxers aren't always hispanic- just the commentary.

[Booze]

*******BIG FIGHT UPDATE*******

Tyson Fury comes out to the sound of 'Mr Big Stuff', boogies into the ring, shadow boxes the cameraman, cracks grins at the baying Essex crowd & couldn't look more like Apollo Creed if he was coated in chocolate & wearing a top hat.

McDermott shuffles out to a cheesy rave tune, looking like he's been chucked out of the pub next door, gurning & wearing a silky blue tracksuit that, for some reason, has the name 'Sophie' on the left breast. He does look a bit like a McMuffin.

(btw, 'Lasco... lol at my user title :rofl:)

[Booze]

*******BIG FIGHT UPDATE*******

The ring isn't big enough for 6 foot 9 Fury. McMuffin is getting inside him all the time, right up his ribs. And although their builds would make you think Fury will be better off the longer this goes on, he's never gone beyond 4 rounds in a pro fight.

McMuffin went the distance in his last two.

Round 5.

[TheWagesofSin]

:pop:

COME ON MC MUFFIN YOU FAT BASTARD!

[Booze]

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Booze]

*******BIG FIGHT UPDATE*******

Fury looks like he wants to go to sleep in the corner now. He's blowing harder than Poondrie. McMuffin took his foot off the gas last round, but he seems to sense that one good shot could end it all. His tiny little pikey arms have been going like the clappers. 3 rounds left.

[TheWagesofSin]

lmao lmao lmao@ "pikey" (huh?!)


:pop:

[Booze]

Pikey = Gypsy. Like Brad Pitt in Snatch.

*******BIG FIGHT UPDATE*******

Last round: Blimey! Fury came out punching there. At last he's getting a bit of room. McMuffin has taken a good few on the chin(s) in this fight, it hasn't phased him one bit. Fury's taken more big ones, though, to be fair.

It's all over... WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!

They've given it to Fury on points! That's fucking bollocks. There's definitely something dodgy going on here. Where's Don King?

[The BYP]

Where's Don King?

Or that old surly bastard from Snatch.

[Booze]

I had the Betfair betting exchange site open as people were offering prices going into the last round. McMuffin was best price 1.16 in decimals to win. The ex-boxers & journos scoring the fight for Sky Sports had McMuffin winning all but 3 of the rounds.

Then the MC calls it 98-92 Fury. This smells fishier than Ed's eye.

[TheWagesofSin]

Well, now you know one reason why a lot of Yank boxing fans have turned to MMA. :down:

[Dr. P]

That SUCKS! I was pulling for the fat limey. Reading your play-by-play was almost like watching it on the Internet and listening in Romanian like I did those UFC's for a while. Man, I'm bummed.

[Belasco]

Do you think his boxing nickname will become "McMuffin"?

[Spooner]

Mike Bisping might turn the limeys back to boxing. They need a new Great White Limey Hope in the UFC.

[Pull Out Method]

This was a great thread. You should do play by play for fights between fighters that nobody knows about more often, Booze. Just don't go throwing a "friendly" in there.

[Booze]

Big Fight Update... REMATCH!

Fury rematch for McDermott
Londoner given chance to confirm superiority

The British Boxing Board of Control have ordered a re-match between John McDermott and Tyson Fury to take place within 90 days.

The first fight for the English heavyweight title ended controversially when the undefeated Fury was handed a 98-92 verdict by referee Terry O'Connor despite most ringsiders giving it to McDermott.

The BBBC immediately ordered an inquiry into the decision while McDermott's promoter Frank Maloney also appealed on behalf of the Londoner, demanding the fight to be ruled 'no contest'.

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

The result of the first fight only served to heat up the bad blood between the pair after Fury had taunted McDermott in the preliminaries, calling him 'McMuffin' and 'Big Mac'.

\"I'm happy with the re-match but I'm unhappy that it wasn't made at 50-50, because even if they say he (Fury) is a champion, he is a champion by default,\" Maloney said after emerging from the meeting.

\"He was given the title by incompetent scoring and for the board to order a re-match they know that something wasn't right with that fight, or that some of the board members don't agree with that scoring.

\"I made a point that I wouldn't want Terry O'Connor anywhere near an arena where I am promoting shows. Their response was that I can't pick my officials.

\"I was reprimanded. I think the whole hearing was a joke and does no good for the general public's view of British boxing.\"

Sky Bet make Fury 2-5 favourite to win the second clash despite McDermott's excellent performance last time.

Boxing spokesman Scott Springgay said: \"On the night, McDermott looked to have been the rightful winner.

\"However, I still make him the underdog for the rematch as Fury now has that extra experience of going 10 rounds and is fully aware of the task ahead of him.\"

[Dr. P]

Sweet! Go McMuffin!

[Pull Out Method]

McMuffin WILL go down in the third this time

I just caught this. lmao lmao lmao lmao

[Booze]

It's not as exciting as the Tyson Gay v McMuffin rematch, but is there any interest in the David Haye v Nikolay Valuev fight over there?

I'm sure you've seen Valuev. He's 7 foot odd & weighs 320 pounds. Haye is 6ft 2 & has only just stepped up to heavyweight. This is going to be like something out of Rocky.

http://i34.tinypic.com/2ccqtsw.jpg

Haye's trainer has come up with an interesting way of getting used to the size difference. He went shoe shopping in Camden Market & bought some 7inch goth boots.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH52v2mXRL0&feature=related

The fight should be shown on this live feed from about 4pm Eastern, if it ain't on telly there.

They'll air it on the TARDFC channel ... same place Brock Lesnar'll be fighting his next fight.


What does it all mean?

[Hole In Face]

Well, here's the thing. Those negros have some tough skulls, but if there is anyone who has just as tough, if not tougher dumb and thick skulls it's eastern european and Russian melons. Those fucks can take a brick to the head from 200 feet high and continue on their daily business of being dumbfucks who think they are cool in their 1986 Run DMC clothes like nothing happened.

[Spooner]

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Ya know, they don't call 'em "rubberheads" for no reason. Spades have ultra thick & rubb'ry skulls to protect their undersized brains, so Hole's right about them being able to take huge payloads to the grill & skull and still keep comin' at ya. I learned all this on an episode of Nova.

Tyson Fury too strong for John McDermott as he wins heavyweight clash in round nine

They were calling the re-match 'Conspiracy Fury' on account of the controversial points decision that handed Tyson Fury the English heavyweight title against John McDermott nine months ago at Brentwood Leisure Complex.

By Gareth A Davies, Boxing Correspondent
Published: 12:55AM BST 26 Jun 2010

Referee Terry O'Connor was pilloried for the decision in 2009 which brought a landmark move by the British Boxing Board of Control to have three judges for all English titles.

The Board also ordered an immediate rematch. Promoter Frank Maloney claimed that it was "the most controversial decision since Henry Cooper was outpointed by Joe Bugner in 1971".

There was little controversy at the second coming in Brentwood on Friday night as Fury put McDermott down three times to stop his foe in the ninth round, and retain his unbeaten career record and the title. It was the first time McDermott had been down in his 32-fight career.

http://i46.tinypic.com/dmwmqu.jpg

Fury boxed well in the opening stanza keeping McDermott at bay with a long jab and landed two telling right crosses.

Fury took a heavy right hook in the second and as the fight progressed through the fourth McDermott began to produce the better work behind his jab.

McDermott's best round was the sixth when he landed a heavy right hook and although the Mancunian responded in kind he looked exhausted and held on. He was warned by referee Dave Parris for doing so. Fury ended the round with blood seeping from a cut in the corner of his right eye.

Fury had a point deducted in the seventh for holding but in the eighth a decisive barrage dropped McDermott close to the end of the round.

McDermott was soon back on the canvas in the ninth from a short chopping right and in the next exchange went down again and staggered to his feet on the count of 10. All three judges had the contest 77-73 going into the ninth round.

Fury, 22, the towering 6ft 9ins tall Mancunian who weighed in at 254lbs on Thursday, turned pro in Dec 2008 after 34 amateur contests with fighting in his blood.

This was his 11th victory. Fury's family are renowned among fighting travellers, and his father John fought as a professional and as a bare knuckle fighter.

McDermott's father, Stan, also fought as a heavyweight in the Seventies. Both fathers were in their sons' corners on Friday night.

McDermott must count as one of the unluckiest British big men. He has certainly had little go his way in the past two years.

He lost to Brixton heavyweight Danny Williams - once the victor over Mike Tyson - in Dagenham by a disputed majority decision. It was very close. So was the re-match 13 months ago over 12 rounds, yet Williams edged it on the judges' cards.

The last contest between Fury and McDermott was a ragged, ill-tempered affair.

Second time around there was clear mutual respect, but all the plaudits to Fury on a balmy night in Brentwood.

[Spooner]

So does this mean Bruno WON'T be fighting Frank Shamrock?

[Booze]

:rofl::rofl:

No, that bout is still on. On my Commodore 64, after I finish playing Paperboy.

[Belasco]

Thanks for the update. Everytime I read the title of this thread I laugh. I love the idea that a boxer would be so sensitive about being called a breakfast sandwich.
