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

[low blows]

Funny Fury uses 11 months out of the ring as an excuse when Ngannou hadn't fought in 21 months and had never boxed professionally before. Did he even have an amateur fight?

Fury's post-fight interview was weird. Like he felt really bad about what he got away with and just wanted to get out of there.

There has to be a 12-round rematch for the WBC title now.

If Fury emerges out of the dust of the Usyk fight as the champ you know this will happen for even more money.

As for the scoring I had it 7 to 3 in rounds for Fury so 96 to 94 but I could have seen a draw or 95 to 94 Ngannou. Fury wasn't serious ever about this sparring session as he was way to friendly and calm during interviews and the press conference.

Corruption? Lmao, you casuals are hilarious. Winning two rounds, albeit a knockdown doesn’t win you a fight.

he won more than two rounds, only casuals resort to "ohhh an obvious win... nobody knows how to score a fight..." No, effective punching, being the aggressor, effectively, etc... Fury lost. it was a close fight with rounds going to both, with a knockdown... Boxing scoring has to have some connection to reality. Nobody would claim fury won that fight lol...

Watching Ngannou’s training videos I thought the was going to get smoked. His footwork, quickness, and sturdy chin was better than I thought. I saw him him do some good things and some bad things against Fury. After the KD his technique got really sloppy. If he could’ve put combos together like he did in the 8th (I think) he could’ve won easily against that version of Fury. With that being said, any top HW he fights from now on wouldn’t take him lightly after tonight. I think he could probably beat AJ but would get exposed against others. It was still a great once in a lifetime performance.

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.

YOu and your butbuddy that keeps liking your ****** comment are amusing... Yes there are subtleties in the scoring of a match. NO, this does not negate a fight where fury was controlled a good deal of the fight, got hit with the more effective punches, Possibly got dropped another time, and where compubox numbers actually mean something... Fury was beaten and Vegas did not want to take the hit... And even one judge understood.

Dont be silly Fury will be highly motivated for Usyk and actually have a camp.

Fury disrespected tonights opponent and almost cost him.

This is possible, But he got beat up, will he heal in time? He definitely was out of shape, but it is getting more difficult to respect his talents. He was so out of shape tonight, and he was beaten and should have been declared beaten. I just can no longer be a fan of this guy... He does have skills that are incredible but frankly? he either has been damaged, or does not care about being a champion.

Fury exposed. Bum city, bum bum city bum.

This felt more like Rocky III to me (Thunderlips vs Balboa). Fury treated this like an joke/exhibition (like Rocky did) and it looked awful. I wonder if this gives Saudi's pause about paying big $$ for fights when one guy may not take it so serious.

The Saudis have so much money... Culturally they don't care about the sport, its just Nero's circus... A degrading freak show... And one that stinks of corruption. There was no way Francis was going to get that win unless he knocked Fury's head off. Boxing just keeps getting more and more about bread and circus.' In the Saudi world fury's lack of dignity, lack of respect for the position of heavyweight champ is rewarded with gifts and a gift decision. Makes one sick...

Fury said he had a full camp too...

If true than thats a much bigger worry.

Are you sure he actually said that?

[joe strong]

Fury says he had a full training camp? I’ve heard that before. Where was his camp? 14 weeks on the barstool at Mickey’s Pub? I wouldn’t be shocked if he comes in top shape for Usyk & totally kicks his ass. Ge is such a wild card that I would never count him out. On the other hand he could be done… You just never know with him…

In another life, if a boxing trainer had found Ngannou as a young man or as a youth, he could have been a great boxing champ.
