Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: That Definitely Wasn't in The Script, Ngannou Was A lot Better Than We Thought He'd Ever Be

[TMLT87]

Hopefully now some of the boxing snobs who say **** like "Mike would have a better chance in there" "MMA is for guys who cant make it in boxing" "jack of all trades masters of none" etc etc will think a little differently.

I didnt expect THAT but I always thought Ngannous size, power, chin and athleticism meant he could beat some top 30 level guys right off the bat.

He embarrassed himself and embarrassed the sport

[JeBron Lamez]

Ngannou physical strength and the way he was sitting back and waiting for fury to engage totally threw fury off because he was expecting someone who was gonna be wild coming forward and that didn't happen

Exactly.

Also later in the fight Fury was taking punishment on the inside trying to set up a big uppercut, which he repeatedly failed to land.

How is a boxing match scored? If you can answer that accurately, what part of the scoring would lead you to believe he won 6 rounds at a minimum? It simply is not accurate if you watch the fight unbiased and educated on how to score.

This turned out to be a major problem among the fans - a huge portion of them is clueless about how a boxing fight is scored. But things get reviewed in time, as they stay in history.

I thought Fury lost this by a tight one round , having 'chilled' and watched the replay. Ngannou is real , he would blitz 'fighters' like Whyte and Joshua and many others .Tyson was not in his zone , but that's his problem . I truly wanted to see Fury beat Usyk which I'm sure he will and can ...but Im not sure he beats this class act Ngannou who takes away what Fury is good at .Big up to Ngannou , what a story what a man .This guy , honestly would smash old Robot (Joshua) to bits , lets hear from young and always jealous Edward ...and ill bet we don't! Fury v Usyk and Ngannou v Joshua Saudi Arabia 23rd dec ..that will keep young Edward quiet!

Fury wasn't in his "zone". "But AJ", "but Eddie".

Seriously dude, stop typing. This is a moment for introspection and to stop worshipping other men.

Fury looked shook to me and his post fight ring interview was telling..

Didn't thank his God....

Didn't sing a song....

Didn't call Usyk a gappy tooth middleweight rabbit

Never nearly paid for the fight but glad I did. Thought Fury was lucky to get the decision. Fury looked a bit better technically but Francis power and tactics caused Fury problems. Think this is a wake up call and Fury needs to get in better shape for all future fights. Difference in physiques was there for all to see. Fury looked a bit flabby and Francis looking like a spartan.

And the award for Best Fighting Man goes to...

The non boxer who schooled the champ!

[hugh grant]

Don't underestimate mma champs. You need talent to reach the top. Pro boxers get.respect for being brave to step in ring, but boxers not got special powers.
Franciscwas better than you expected? I think Fury might be in for a rude awakening against usy k then, if underating fighters is his default

[Cyborg Fangerloo]

I can ask you the same question because I scored it on damage dealt by clean effective punches ,a knockdown and ring generalship ...90 percent of the fight ngannou was in the center of the ring and furys back was the one on the ropes


Please tell me how you think Fury actually won this fight

I take it you've never done an iq test before

You should try and get one done through your doctor you may be eligible for some benefit money from your government

There is no good reason to hurl insults when someone disagrees with you. I did take an IQ test and it was 143. I have a doctorate degree. I also love grace and mercy and I would love to see you love it too.
