Comments Thread For: Francis Ngannou To Use Mike Tyson as Trainer For Tyson Fury Clash

[jaded]

Ngannou got out boxed by fat lad Derrick Lewis & was being out boxed by Gane quite easily until he just layed on him on the floor.

He went into the Gane fight with a torn ACL and had surgery after the fight with a long rehab, he had no choice but to take it to the ground.

Mike Tyson is a joke. He'll do anything for money, embarrass himself infinitely although he also does that for free. Betraying his own combat sport for money is a new low even for him.

Kinda like the Mayweather exhibition circus shows? That too? Tyson would still bust your chops at 70 years old and laugh while doing it and then ask, “who is the joke now?”

Tyson had one kind of style when he fought and that's why he loss more as he got older because top guys figured out his style of fighting. Tyson can't teach Francis how to hold, turn Fury around, and box from different angles. Francis doesn't have the speed or reflexes to fight a Mike Tyson style fight. As soon as Francis dips to the right or left then Fury will lean on him and tire him out quickly. That is what concerns me. I would feel better if Lennox Lewis, Holyfield, Holmes or more versatile fighters trained Francis. I certainly wouldn't announce that Tyson is training Francis. Now the Fury camp will be licking their chops.

Does it really matter who is training him?
It's a foregone conclusion who wins this exhibition, why even bother?

Mike can feed Francis his Cannabis ears so they go tripping together.

Any grappler would take the old rapist down and crack his skull on the pavement, possibly killing him immediately. This isn't the 80s and 90s where the "baddest man on the planet" is thought to be a limited human who can only use his fists and teeth in a fight even though his entire body can be used as a weapon.

Aside from that discussion, Tyson is a joke obviously. A media whore who will do anything for money no matter how embarrassing it is for him or his sport.

Tbh I'm interested to see what Tyson could achieve as a trainer. If I was indifferent to the fight before, now I'm intrigued for that reason alone.

Tyson has a lot to work with in Ngannou, shame their very first fight had to be against the very best fighter in the world.

Imo if Fury doesn't end it in 3 rounds then it reflects poorly on him. I don't expect Francis to be near as destructive with his power wearing Boxing gloves.

MMA legends have been getting knocked out by youtubers for the past year. Its the year 2023, not 2017, your best men flee to boxing and expose the poor level of striking required to become an MMA legend.

"striking" and "boxing" are not the same thing, boxers are not good strikers in a kickboxing/muay thai context and would even lose to good MMA strikers once theres kicks etc involved. Also you're overdoing it with the "best men" thing a little, yeah Conor had one boxing match then came back to MMA and went 1-3. Ngannou did go out as UFC champ but the last guy he beat got stopped in like 30 seconds by Jon Jones soon after. Other than that its 47 year old Anderson, fastest UFC KO victim ever Askren, 4 fight losing streak Woodley, 38 year old journeyman Nate, 1-3 in the UFC Clay Collard.

Bringing in a famous name to sell it more. Tyson's name is money in this case. They should say Holyfield is training Fury, and its really a rematch. Casuals will love it. Ha ha
