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

[Skip Bayless]

Fury is a big lump bully. The hype he gets on his site as being crowned the great fighter of all time is ridiculous.

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

Usyk won those fight, and dominated Dubois. Fury lost to a salt miner. Stop playing damage control here

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.

To begin with, Fury only fought Klitschko, Whyte, Wilder, Wallin and prime Chisora. Other guys are not worth to mention.

He beat old Klitschko and run to retirement for 2 years to make sure a rematch never happens.

Fury is highly overrated.

Hope Ngannou embarrasses the fat fraud

You are the king of classic one lines that are so true!

Respect!

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

If Francis wasn't falling forward, it probably would have been scored a KD.

I was torn on Usyk's chances but it's pretty clear now that he works Fury over. Too bad it won't happen now.

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

Fury disrespected tonights opponent and almost cost him.

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.

Fury performance wasn't down to his poor shape; he couldn't utilise his size like he's been allowed to do in previous contest's. The fouling Fury uses just wasn't effective against Francis. What fouling people may ask? Well the falling in behind punches to initiate a clinch where he can lean on his opponents or put them in headlocks. Fury maybe able to resort to those tactics against Usyk but tonight he was exposed without them. The excuse of him being out shape is rubbish.

Lennox Lewis talking absolute turd right now

Good grief, it's as though the Fury's have fishnet photos of him somewhere.

A large amount of people thought Dubois should’ve had a TKO win over Uysk. Where did Uysk dominate old Chisora? Where did he dominate Briedis? Save this, somewhere. Fury beats Uysk whenever that fight happens, that’s all. Way too small. I’m not a Fury fan.. I just don’t see Uysk beating him. He doesn’t have what’s ‘needed’

[crimsonfalcon07]

No matter what, Ngannou won where it counts, and Fury lost where it counts. Records can say whatever, but it's pretty clear Ngannou is the man now. I think even Jon Jones lost tonight.
