Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Shockingly Dropped in Third, Overcomes Tough Moments To Barely Edge Francis Ngannou

Fury says he had a full training camp? I’ve heard that before. Where was his camp? 14 weeks on the barstool at Mickey’s Pub? I wouldn’t be shocked if he comes in top shape for Usyk & totally kicks his ass. Ge is such a wild card that I would never count him out. On the other hand he could be done… You just never know with him…

In another life, if a boxing trainer had found Ngannou as a young man or as a youth, he could have been a great boxing champ.

Lol. Ol Fury said he would never underrate any opponent, then came in totally looking past Ngannou. He obviously had no real plan other than play around and make it look good. Ngannou came to win and shocked him.

I will guarantee a Fury victory over Usyk now. He is going to be motivated as hell to show the world that this fight was a fluke.

Ngannou, with a few more fights, could shock some people.

My guess is Fury did little training for this fight. We didn't see one photo, interview or mention from or about his camp.

This was a great event, good competitive fight. Idc where Ngannu is coming from, he’s a tough motherfcker and he made this event what it is with this competitiveness. I was wrong on him, as were many others, but it was actually good. Lots of drama. I think he has a future in boxing. He just dropped a lost a split decision to the #1 HW.

Imagine what would prime Mike Tyson do to him inside.

Prime Mike was 216 pounds and nearly a foot shorter if Fury is allowed to lean on him he beats him. If they fight straight up with no dirty boxing then Tyson probably beats him on points like he did Tucker who was a poor man's Fury in the late 80's.

Damn just realized Ngannu is 37 dude is old too lol

Tim Bradley and ESPN noted he did a 12 week camp for this fight, longer than the 8 week camp for his last fight.

If only Ngannou had more output and more experience, Fury would be finished by now.

I agree. Fury was there for the taking in the last few rounds, if Francis stepped on the gas. Fury got very luck this could have been much worse.

If true than thats a much bigger worry.

Are you sure he actually said that?

There's a bunch more, but yes. That's apparently how he looks after a training camp that's twice as long as his usual, if he's to be believed.
