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

Not sure about that. Uysk doesn’t punch as hard as Ngannou.. nor isn’t as physical in the clinch. Also doesn’t like it to the body and Fury is a renowned body puncher. Two different fights. Hats off too Ngannou tho

Uysk has a massive AM and Pro record and will know how to setup his punches better. Those Wilder fights took something out of Fury. He has been hit in the head many times hard in 3 fights by Wilder.

This is a once in a lifetime occurring. Now the mma fanboys are gonna automatically think their guys can fck with boxing guys. Sucks because it’s gonna feed them even more and they’ll become even more fanboys of their sports. Hopefully at least they can see that mma and ufc fighters are getting robbed blind and have to come to boxing to get paid millions.

No, Wilder just isn't as good as many people believe he is...Wilder fans are always trying to act like Wilder is second best against Fury -, the supposed best...Both of those fighters are operating under that mirage. They need to fight other opponents with different styles...That's what we seen tonight. Fury face a strong guy who held his technique through much of the fight , as opposed to Wilder who fell apart every time against Fury. Fury IS very good and Wilder is decent but they need to fight many other fighters to really know how good they are.

Fury has looked nowhere near the same since the third Wilder fight. That's the point.

Wilder put that man down four times across three fights. That changes you. Fury himself said he didn't feel right months after. And now he gets dropped by a non-power hand.

Wilder may have shattered the glass, ala Tarver/Jones 2.

Lol, Gypsy was beaten by a f.ucking UFC guy. In a boxing match.

Two rounds, albeit a knockdown wins you a fight? You casuals are hilarious lmao. It’s always the mentally challenged on this site with thousands of comments that know hardly a thing about boxing but rack up comments to look relevant. Might wanna put that helmet back on and stop the fentanyl.

Ngannou kos everyone in the heavyweight division besides maybe usyk and fury. Dude is 270 all muscle fury is a fat 270 there's a massive difference. Ngannou puts wilder to sleep. Fury definitely didn't train that hard for this fat slob.

Meh. Judging by Uysk’s fights against Chisora & Dubois.. I think he get’s KO’d too. Ngannou throws a mean body shot

Francis won over the entire boxing community.

He did.

He's a hugely likeable guy, and then he turned in this performance. Add to that his handling of a questionable decision with class and dignity. Yeah, he gained a lot of fans tonight.

There's not gonna be a Usyk fight in December, that's for sure. There will likely be talk of a rematch given the controversy of the result. Every other top level fighter will be desperate to get their hands on Ngannou too so they can fight the guy who beat the man. The biggest loser here is probably Usyk.

I think this has massive implications for everything everybody expected to happen. I reckon the rematch is more likely than the unification. Usyk would then be looking for a new opponent if he sticks around, potentially Wilder? Which complicates things for AJ. Lot's of speculation but it's not hard to see how significant the domino effect could be. Even if Fury did crack on with Usyk. Wilder/AJ etc would then be desperate to fight Ngannou to say they beat the guy that "beat" Fury.

when he went to his knees a long the ropes? If so I was kinda wondering myself....

Yeah I thought he got caught coming in and dropped there too.

[P to the J]

****, so iron Mike called it then, we all just thought he was on the payroll

I don’t care for that fight tbh. Dubois technically stopped Uysk & Fury arguably lost to Ngannou. HW division is turd right now.. one of the weakest

Technically Usyk beat the spirit out of Dubious. The guy literally gave up. Boxing commentators are turd right now.
