Fans packed the AO Arena for the Misfits Boxing event, and Tommy Fury took care of business in the main event. Fury outboxed strongman Eddie Hall en route to a majority decision win.

The judges for the fight were Tony Bellew, Derek Chisora and Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor (59-56, 58-56, 57-57, respectively). Fury employed the same kind of strategy that his former opponent Jake Paul used against Anthony Joshua — only Fury was successful.

Fury moved around throughout the six-round fight. He aimed to gas Hall out, and it worked. Hall couldn't catch Fury, despite the rounds being two minutes instead of three. Despite that, DeMoor, who wants to fight Fury next, scored the fight for Hall.

Before you ask how that can happen, consider this is Misfits Boxing, and they play by their own rules.

The card was entertaining despite a lack of conventional boxing skill and polish. We saw consistent Misfits headliner Anthony Taylor crash out after his fight with Matty Floyd ended in a no contest.

Taylor suffered some sort of eye injury that he seemed to believe came as the result of cheating from Floyd's corner. Taylor kept yelling about Icy Hot in his eyes, which could suggest he believed some sort of substance was on Floyd's glove and got into his eyes.

There's no confirmation on that piece, but the fight did officially end in a no contest.

Here's a look at the rest of the results from a wild night of fights in Manchester.

• Armz def. Big Stacks via TKO, round 4 (heavyweight) — Contest stopped in the fourth after Armz broke through with sustained pressure and forced the referee to wave it off. This fight had one of the wildest rule sets I've ever seen in combat sports. It was all body punches, and somehow Armz still got the stoppage.
• Ibiza Final Boss def. Jordan McCann via majority decision — Close fight on the cards, with one judge seeing it level and two edging it for Ibiza Final Boss after a competitive set of rounds. McCann got away with several illegal tactics. He tried to bite Ibiza, secured a double-leg takedown and threw elbows. It was pretty disgraceful.
• Scott def. G. Rodrigues via KO/TKO, 1:48 of round 2 — One of the few stoppage wins of the event.
• Adam Brooks def. Rahim Pardesi via unanimous decision — Brooks swept the cards over Pardesi, banking rounds behind more consistent work according to the event listing. This fight was massively one-sided from the outset.

Both Fury and Hall are good fits for Misfits, although Hall would be better suited to take a Misfits MMA fight the next time around. He has trained in the sport for two years, and his size and strength are undeniable.

Fury doesn't seem to want to commit to anything besides the occasional, low-risk fight. Who knows when we'll see him back in the ring? He didn't look terrible, and perhaps that's the most frustrating thing about his boxing career.

You can't help but wonder how good he could have been if he'd taken it more seriously. As it is, he likely secured a solid payday for his efforts, and he further solidified himself as the biggest name in the promotion.

Whatever you call the act of moving against the natural flow of a clock’s hands—counterclockwise or anticlockwise—there’s a decent chance you prefer moving that way too.

According to a new study published in Nature Communications and reported by The New York Times, researchers have found that people across the world, regardless of age and background, all have a natural tendency to drift to the left, a.k.a. moving counterclockwise, when they wander.

The discovery happened almost by accident, as applied physicist Iñaki Echeverría-Huarte of the University of Navarra in Spain was studying how people maintain personal space while walking. He was watching footage of people meandering when he noticed that many participants kept veering left. This sparked a five-year obsession with people walking on the left.

Humans Naturally Drift Left When They Walk, and Scientists Aren’t Totally Sure Why

573 tested participants across multiple experiments later, the researchers found that, yeah, people sure do like veering to the left. No matter the situation, no matter the type of space they were walking through, whether they were young or old, moving in silence or to music, again and again, people kept moving left. About 75-80% of people naturally moved counterclockwise within seconds of starting a walk.

The researchers were quite sure why, but they were very confident that it was happening.

One theory suggests that, since humans aren’t perfectly symmetrical, the tiny differences in the balance of our bodies, combined with our brain processes, coordinate movement in a way that subtly pushes us to one side or the other. As for why it pushes us way more to the left than to the right, it is a mystery.

As usual, this isn’t a cute little finding that exists in a vacuum. The research team says this could have far-reaching implications that could help, for instance, improve evacuation planning or help design better public spaces like museums and supermarkets.
