Tyson Fury vs Ngannou

Here we go

Of course i have Fury winning a rather easy bout, just curious how long it takes . I`m guessing 3 rds .

1st rd Fury moves and feels Francis out.
2nd rd he starts exploiting Francis's style
3rd he opens up with precision combinations and ends the fight

I think Fury strings it out longer to make a show of it. although i put $10 on Ngannou just for the hell of it as well as $10 on rnd 9 stoppage. Lets hope we get Fury Usyk in December that will be a great fight!

Maybe he carries Francis but the guy can HIT HARD , not sure you play with a guy that strong, if you can end it ,end it

 

[PinkydaPimp]

well this is quite the spectacle

 

[ZADO]

well this is quite the spectacle

Right?? Its gonna last waaaay longer than the fight

 

[PinkydaPimp]

god Usyk is terrifying

 

[PinkydaPimp]

longest wait ever. on the plus side at least its not like 1am

 

[ZADO]

HOLY CRAP

 

[ZADO]

I am shocked

 

[PinkydaPimp]

francis is fighting well. I like his chances if he doesnt get gassed but i suspect he will.

 

[ZADO]

Fury took this guy lightly , he is finally acting like hes in a real fight, i see him starting to get his rhythm

 

[ZADO]

Fury needs to go to Ngannou`s body more

 

[PinkydaPimp]

whats interesting is that Fury cant bully him in the clench. That seems to make a big difference.

 

[NewlyRetired]

oh I was posting in the wrong thread

Amazing stamina by Ngannou so far. I never expected him to be this fresh this late

 

[NewlyRetired]

I think Fury needs a stoppage to win this... who would have thought..

 

[NewlyRetired]

The amount of historical fighting talent in one building is something we may never see again. Just big name after big name

 

[ZADO]

Fury moving around like he has the fight won, he doesnt , its so close

[NewlyRetired]

I think Ngannou may have won. The knock down 10-8 round I think was just enough.

 

[Ilov80s]

That's crazy, wasn't Fury like an insane favorite?

 

[NewlyRetired]

Ronaldo's girlfriend looks thrilled to be there..

 

[ZADO]

I wanna see Ngannou in the ring again , he has room to grow

 

[PinkydaPimp]

great fight!

 

[NewlyRetired]

he hasn't lost in like 19 (?) years and was fighting effectively a novice boxer..He could not have been a bigger favorite

 

[PinkydaPimp]

me too!!!!

 

[NewlyRetired]

hmm, that one score card seems really suspect....

 

[Ilov80s]

Wow sounds like the classic judges screwjob

I looked, -2000. Insane.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Oh do I hate judging in fights (both boxing and mma)

96-93 Fury is insane given there was a 10-8 round for Francis. There were rounds Fury did NOTHING

 

[Wingnut]

Twitter disagrees with the decision

 

[Wingnut]

Francis a class act and humble guy.

Reminder: that was Ngannou first ever boxing match. Pro or amateur.

Crock of chit decision

I am embarrassed to be a fight fan some times. This happens over and over and over again and there is zero accountability.

Kinda like NFL refs.

 

[PinkydaPimp]

I was rooting for Francis but he wasnt gonna get a win on the score cards. This is boxing.

 

[scoobus]

A terrible decision in boxing??

Also fun to see some boxing snobs (not necessarily in here) eat some crow.

Absolutely

Usyk has the craziest eyes ever

 

[NewlyRetired]

I am a huge MMA fan and I can tell you it is no better there either for judging.

I am fine with the two score cards that had it close. The one that gave it to Fury was marginal imo but there were a lot of close rounds due to low activity for both fighters.

But there is no sane fight fan alive who could look at the 96-93 card and think that was correct.

MMA has problems with judging as well, but it's absolutely better there. IMO

 

[ZADO]

Fury clearly underestimated Ngannou .

Im old enough to remember when Mike Tyson grossly underestimated Buster Douglas

Id love to see a rematch where Fury takes this fight as seriously as Francis did

Haney with major beatdown of Prograis and now Haney is moving up to 147.

And on espn, Espinoza with fair size upset of Ramirez, in a good fight.

 

[Keith R]

Didn't care to pay for the Haney fight. Looks like that was the right decision, clean sweep by Haney - every round on every scorecard

Did he say he’s going to 147? I’d like him to cleanup 140 first. Plus not sure he’s ready for boots.

I’d love to see tank come up and fight Haney. Or Shakur. Or teo. He looks stronger at 140 too. He’s no tank but still.

Tyson Fury injury: WBC heavyweight champion suffers cut in camp, postpones unification with Oleksandr Usyk​

Uggh.

 

[brianj74]

Teofimo with another less than impressive effort last night in a disputed win.

When he is motivated (see wins versus Loma and Josh Taylor) you get the feeling he can take that next step into boxing prominence but it is increasingly evident he is too inconsistent fight-to-fight to ever take the leap.

it’s DAZN ppv but i’m hoping my iptv has streams as it normally does. The card itself starts in a few hours

I really like Francis, personally and as a terrifying mma fighter. I know how impressive he was against Fury, but it still seems unrealistic to believe he is ready for this class of boxing with so little boxing in his background. The Fury fight may have been an anomaly, an ideal matchup of styles, something, I dunno. I expect Joshua to easily out box him. I hope I'm wrong. I'd love to see Francis knock him out. Either way he made this move for the money, and I'm happy it's worked out for him.
