I mean... A close fight right? fair enough... A close fight where one guy hit the canvas? Corruption once again. I would never bet a dime on boxing, not since the eighties...Comment

It’s tempting after seeing a fighter perform really badly to think their next fight will be a repeat, and since it’s against a genuine elite in Usyk, that holds some weight.
But I don’t think it’ll go like that.
Fury was fat, out of shape, and complacent in the run up to this fight. When I saw the weight in photos, I was surprised he looked so sloppy. Ngannou, meanwhile, came in like a professional and prepared as best he could. And he’s obviously a superb talent who would beat most HWs out there. And the two things together made for a more competitive fight than expected. Fury thought he could get an east $60m against Ngannou, but forgot that even Mayweather had a tough time getting to grips with Connor, despite getting himself in top shape.
Fury won’t turn up in that shape for Usyk. So, while Usyk has every chance to beat Fury (I think it’s a 50-50 fight, especially now), we won’t get this level of slackness.

You say some of the most ****** thing’s..
So you think the likes of Joe Joyce, Derrick Chisora, Dillian ‘shot’ Whyte & Tony Yoka would beat Ngannou based off of tonight’s performance? Stop it. Hasn’t been a single fighter that’s made Fury look like that.
