Lennox Lewis, the last man to become the undisputed champion in the heavyweight division, believes Tyson Fury did enough to edge out a decision win over MMA veteran Francis Ngannou.

Perfect analysis by Lewis. This is Fury's final wake up call or his final mental breakdown.

This fight should never have happened in the first place, arab money, the fury circus, ufc wins again.

Some would otherwise praise Lewis, but in this case in which his analysis is perfect - nah, he says the sore truth to many haters: Fury won. Was terrible, yes, but he won.

The assumption was that fury wouldn't be 100 percent and could still whoop ngannou without even needing to get out of 1st gear, like it or not last night took a lot of shine off of his career

In my opinion Fury lost to a novice but clearly there's a need for a narrative to protect Fury. Fury was out of shape or Fury didn't take it seriously, or Fury just did enough to win. Fury just isn't as good as people think so there attempting to compensate for it.

The talk of he's a fighting man is a load of rubbish because when he realised he couldn't foul his way to victory, he just stood on the outside feinting. If boxing would get serious about clinching, Fury wouldn't be as successful as he is.

Ngannou's core strength, cardio & overall conditioning are insane.

Can't immediately think of a boxer who has ever appeared close to all 3 at the same time.

He really showed too, that an instinct for fist fighting (not 'striking arts' or 'striking skills', just plain old fist fighting) is a very real thing.

Mufuggah out here natural as a Roy Hamed Ustevensyk or suttn lol.

& big up Mikey T if that was him came up with Ngannou's gameplan, also more props to Ngannou for calmly standing in the pocket & executing!

Ngannou's core strength, cardio & overall conditioning are insane.

• Strength - yes (even though he's obviously on PEDs for most of his career, but I am not taking him the strength anyway)
• Cardio - pathetic and has always been so
• Conditioning - that relates to the cardio in a big sense, but he was in good shape and most of all, he was motivated

Lewis is sadly on the Fury payroll for that night. They clearly paid him to be there and commentate. Wined and dined him the night before etc. Plus he probably bought into the whole Boxing vs MMA narrative so he'll naturally side with the boxer as much as humanly possible. Fury could have been knocked out and Lewis would have still said he won that. But I think common sense will prevail. Lewis will rewatch the fight and change his mind about the whole thing. Whether he makes it public or not, we'll see.

That's for sure, unless he rematchez N'gannou and beat him up bad.
