Easy win for Barry ! And he could go on to become very good now 

 

Cards will say I draw I suspect 

 

but Barry won 

 

[Manwell Pablo]

Will be close 

[LinekersLugs]

Disgusting scoring !!!! Absolute disgusting , totally outboxed by Abdul 

[Finnegan]

Hmmm

[Strokes]

Lucky boy Josh, I thought it was the other way by a hairs breadth.

[LinekersLugs]

116-112 , that fellas bank account needs to be checked ! How on earth can you even get close to that 

[Durnerz]

Draw at absolute best for Warrington, terrible display. I had Barry by 7-5.

He wasn't at all, may have landed better punches but he landed fewer. Was a tight fight, the fact it was in Leeds may have swung it for him.

[AjcW]

It was a draw if it wasn’t in Leeds. But really Galahad takes some blame for that, can’t go to a bout with a strong home crowd and defend/hold for the last four rounds

Some of them rounds were so close you could have scored it either way I think. Given the guy was in his own backyard, that was a great performance by Galahad.

Shitty scorecards strike again.

 

Galahad controlled that fight from the fifth round onwards.

[Dr The Singh]

I had Warrington win by 2 

 

Stinker of a fight though.  Gallahad blew it, better boxer bit didn't want to engage

I don't understand why judges don't score more rounds as 10-10 when they are so close, rather than guessing on giving it 10-9 to one of them.

Because people don’t want to see draws.

[RonnieTodger]

Draw would’ve been fair. Some wild scoring after a lot of close rounds

[HankMarvin]

That ref was far too old school

barry fortunate not to lose a point

 

horrible fight to watch

Fury will be brilliant I admit, but still has the body of the guy at the bar of your  local

Honestly think its the best shape for him to be in. Big muscles take more oxygen. Always assumed more muscles = better but look at guys like Daniel Cormier in the UFC. Literally the most unimpressive physique but has cardio for days. Dunno about boxing as much but in the UFC the muscle bound guys tend to have gas tank issues

Ruiz proved when it comes to fighting it is different to being an athlete... not about being ripped at all. Bruce Lee studied Wing chun, and that was about fast movements, in a small space... but he only built his body to look good on tv for the movies, otherwise he wouldn’t have got so ripped because the energy required to move such muscle. Fury is about fast movement and making his opponent look like an idiot

Fury has a mouth the size of the Sagittarius black hole, but he has the skill and the endurance to back it up, so fair play to him. Good work.

 

Hope he gets another chance at Wilder soon.

[GeorgeTheFox]

Absolute masterclass. Get in there

[foxes_rule1978]

That is how you do business, now just smash Wilder
