Heard a scurrilous rumour Rogie was for going down in a certain round !

Yeah it was the 3rd I heard too.

Don't believe it myself.

Funny that....

You are easily amused.

There were three different fights in the crowd. A whole wrecking match according to reports

[Minder]

Bit silly to say that you don't believe that he had a bet to go down in the 3rd, after the fight that he went down in the 5th!

What I was saying was I didn't believe he threw it. Maybe the rumour was wrong, maybe it was the 5th but I don't think he had a punt on it.

[Tony Baloney]

Lot of comments on Twitter that the round ended suspiciously.

Were they fixed?

The thing about these rumours, if Rogie did have a bet you can be sure as shite that very few people know, not half the fcukin road.

That sounds like some ballbag holding court in Dan Boyle's spouting shite and pretending to be in the know. To be fair, he may have every copy of Ring magzine, so who could argue with him.

Maybe we will get you to verify any rumours in the future.

Well it is better than you putting rumours out that you don't even believe.....

Take a look on Twitter.

Betting slips popping up in my FB timeline and Twitter showing 5th round win. Why was I not told in the Spar?

he looked at his corner because he was starting to eat leather and had no answer.

he was clearly hurt and could be seen gasping still 30 seconds later when he went back to the corner despite his initial protestation to Checa.

The heavyweight standard as we know is not good. Fury won't beat a Klitschko but there are not too many others he should fear. His defence still needs to tighten up but with his size and that jab he should still be harder to hit. He may not have one punch concussive power to take out the best but he certainly has power enough to seriously hurt people and wear them down.

He's not the second coming of Muhammad Ali but he keeps things interesting and I for one like him, and hope he does well.

I thought that he'd cracked a rib the way he grimaced

[Candyman]

Lads, do not kid yourselves!! It was a COMPLETE set-up and very badly done!! The ref was allowing him to continue with 2seconds on the clock, when a guy from his corner ran in and stopped it!! And just to clarify, I was told to back Fury in the 5th round at about 4pm!!!!! Half of Armagh had the bet on, I had 17/2 with Paddy Power!! Boxing today is in a state because of this, but even on that note I won't be returning my winnings!! ;-)

Joe Ward just got beaten in the olympic qualifiers by a Turk in Turkey? The Irish camp are considering appealing the result.
