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

[aAgger]

Francis Ngannou is the African Rocky!

The plot was straight out of the first Rocky: Underdog takes on the heavyweight champ, gives him the fight of his life, and then gets robbed in a split decision.

Wilder had 41 ko in 42 victories. Ngannau didnt ko Fury. Easy question to answer at least for now

In MMA, Ngannou got 12 KOs out of 17 wins, despite KOs being harder to pull off in MMA. If he had pursued boxing instead of MMA, he may have had a similar KO record to Wilder.

Either way, I'm going with prime George Foreman as the hardest puncher in boxing history. In his prime, he KO'd almost every single boxer he fought up until the Ali fight. And even as an old man in his 40s, Old George was still knocking out younger fighters.

Another great WHITE hype exposed. Now we can finally stop hearing fury being called a GOAT. **** was ****in embarrassing. He was always a product of a horrible heavyweight era. He could never compete in the 90's. Wouldn't even be ranked. Dude got his whole rep beating a washed up wlad(who was overrated himself) and a trash ass deontay wilder. Tyson fury's legacy will forever be tarnished and I couldn't be happier. **** that bum.

fury threw this fight for god knows what reason

This fight looked fake to me. I said the fix was in before it started. Now everyone will be crying for a rematch. The clown show continues.

I’m happy that Francis got his payday. That’s honestly the only reason I didn’t crap on this fight. Because Francis is a class act. With that being said, I do think they’re gonna milk this and get a rematch out of this. Who does this benefit this in the boxing world? None other than Tyson Fury. I truly believe he’s avoiding the Undisputed clash with Usyk. I feel like Usyk has more dog in him than Fury at this stage of their careers. I think Usyk is more willing to take on Usyk next whereas Fury would like to collect more paychecks while maintaining his status and avoiding a high caliber boxer like Usyk.

I think Fury's underwhelming performance was a result of Francis' incredible power. There is no one in the heavyweight division quite like francis; who has thick legs and is as able to generate as much power as all while being fairly athletic with a decent boxing IQ. Once Fury felt the power he had to be cautious and of course had to protect the Usyk undisputed fight. This came at the sacrifice of his offence. However he was also making mistakes in there like moving backwards in straight lines. Not his best performance by a long shot but enough to get over the line.

Part of Fury's success is def due to (as a very tall and heavy fighter) leaning on the inside. Francis wasn't having it at all and worked Fury on the inside when he tried it. And even Francis' punches that sort of looked like glancing blows or off target obviously were felt by Fury. I was also impressed with Francis' upwards left jab, almost an uppercut, that I assume he practiced in training as a strategic weapon specifically for taller Fury.

I think Francis' strength on the inside and his ability to negate Fury's leaning really started to sap Fury's energy and by about round 8 he was really starting to look fatigued. I've never actually seen Fury look as tired as that in a fight and he was fortunate to escape unscathed as Francis started to open up with combinations.

Wow! These judges must have been paid well. No doubt now as to whether boxing is fixed. Tyson Fury didn’t win this fight and he knows it. What a joke

Bruh the fact it even came down to a decision is mindboggling that being said if you thought they were going to give a 0-0-0 fighter the belt and embarrass boxing overnight even more then you had another thing coming lol.

Wow! Yes! That was a very entertaining fight! Fury looked terrible, maybe the worst performance of his career. Ngannou put on a great performance! He definitely could have won. Hopefully Ngannou gets a few more Boxing matches. Fury still did enough to win! Having said that, he'll quite possibly lose in the next few fights!
