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

[billeau2]

I think his inactivity is a bigger problem. Even if he has proper training camps he spends too much time out of shape.

For what it's worth, I watched the fight this morning and gave it to Fury. It was a horrible watch though.

It has been shown many times that fighters that Balloon between have problems. One of the reasons why when fighters were fighting 15 rounds and 15 times a year lol, they did more in the ring.

Wow! Even with the knockdown? I really do not score fights well lol, I trust your analysis. What about the time Fury dropped a second time, did it look like it was caused by a punch to you?

I just preferred Fury's work during the close rounds over Ngannou's stalking. I guess one of the judges preferred the latter, considering it ring generalship.

As for the second knockdown, it looked like more of a tiredness thing but another referee may have scored it a knockdown and it wouldn't have been too controversial.

It's these marginal factors which explain a lot of supposed "controversy" after fights and sports games generally.

Part of Fury's success is def due to (as a very tall and heavy fighter) leaning on the inside. Francis wasn't having it at all and worked Fury on the inside when he tried it. And even Francis' punches that sort of looked like glancing blows or off target obviously were felt by Fury. I was also impressed with Francis' upwards left jab, almost an uppercut, that I assume he practiced in training as a strategic weapon specifically for taller Fury.

No...that's one of his signature punches...he's KO'd people with it.

Can you imagine if Ngannou became a pro boxer 15-20 years ago instead of at past prime 37 years old? He'd be a Hall of Fame Boxer.

Ok, well I'm a boxing fan, and don't watch mma. Nonetheless, it sure looked tailored for Fury and kept him wary.

Yeah...it was. I actually saw a comment by someone months before the fight saying it would. For a fight that was being dismissed as a going to be one-sided schooling, it turned out to be a pretty damn entertaining matchup.

Low IQ, not your fault I s'pose... Face it kid, you just entered the wood shed. So tell me some more about a helmet, a tuna sandwich etc... No, you making as a s s of yourself does not make me feel better, just want you to wise up a bit and stop going after people with a different opinion. There is no reason to think someone is a casual for the opinion Francis won this fight... You may disagree, that is your perrogative.

If my iq’s low, then you must be on the spectrum. “Pure” bloodlines I suppose? I just counter acted your statement, and you imploded. Good try though, but then again with being slow I guess. Remember, you’re a good boy, a real good boy. Positive reinforcement.

He won every single round. So where did he struggle? The low blow?

He didn’t look good in general and yeah he got stopped with a borderline body shot, one that everybody thought was legal including many trainers, boxers & the entire TR commentary team. If you think he’s anything like Ngannou and he has his size and power.. well wait and see lol.

That’s the thing, Usyk a lot of times seems to struggle a little, but then ends the fight.

True.. but Dubois isn’t a guy known for a great chin. He got dropped 3 times in his previous fight before Uysk. Uysk couldn’t put a dent in Chisora and look what Fury did

“One that everyone thought was legal.”
