Gordon R Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Against my better judgement, I just watched this. A contest between two people who cannot box. It was worse than awful. It looked fairly close, with KSI edging it, but Fury had a point deduction for hitting on the back of the head. Astonished when Fury got a majority decision. I have to smile when he talks of World titles. He would never win a British Title. Delusional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellywinner Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Don't really follow the Boxing anymore, a large part of it has turned into pantomime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen-H Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Any boxing events with youtubers , influencers or tik tokers shouldn't get any air time its ruined boxing & made it into a pantomime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Until this type of "boxing" event comes under the control of the British Boxing Board of Control, it can only be considered a circus entertainment event. "Tag Team boxing" ? Bring in the clowns.🙄 Fury gets fights because of his name, , he belongs at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12gauge82 Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 I can only agree with what everyone else on here has said, utterly farcical event that can only harm boxing long term future. I long for the days of boxing when big fights were aired live on terrestrial TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjpainter Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 What worries me is where this is all going for boxing. Right now it's only been half decent boxers in the ring, but at some point, an unknown with an annihilating hammer of a punch, looking to make a name for himself, is going to take a fight with a Youtuber purely to get the publicity and puts them in the hospital permanently.

figgy Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 I too watched it Tyson Fury looked like he thought Tommy had lost and looked shocked when he was announced as the winner. it was like a pantomime with neither looking good from being part of it.

harrycatcat1 Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 Just as a side issue, my daughter went and watched it live, she came back traumatised because she said there were fights breaking out in the place but it was the spectators fighting. Not just men either. The security people were very busy. It was her friends idea to go but I doubt they would go again. Something about a 2 pint bucket of beer for £20 🙄🙄🙄🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperGoose75 Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Watched it with my boy as he had an interest given his age of 11yrs old and whatever fascination these Youtubers hold over kids. I was hoping KSI would knock TF out..! It wasn't to be, but I still don't see how they awarded Fury the decision 🤔 In fairness to Fury, as a pretty average orthodox boxer, he had no answer to the unorthodox style of KSI..! Hard to pin down a wild swing and then grab an hold style. All Fury could muster was rabbit punches to the back of the head. A circus but a poor one from an entertainment point of view.
