Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: I Thought Tyson Fury Won, He Wasn't 100%, Fundamentals Weren't There

100% percent or not, this is boxing, not the NBA. You don't fight for a rematch, you put it all on the line for the win. He looked bad in the ring against an MMA fighter and there should be no excuses given for him. Ngannou was the winner this fight.

Ngannou had an answer for pretty much everything Fury threw at him.

Even when Fury tried to lean on him in the clinch Ngannou would hug him round his greedy belly and pull him down for the advantage.

Fury was well and truly gassed and out of ideas by the 8th round but knew if he went the distance the judges would follow the script.

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.

What is sad is being a boxing fan and not being able to see that Fury won despite the circus ans the Knock Down and sounding like MMA casuals.

N'gannou needs to win 5 rounds to get the win so please be honnest and tell me wich 5 rounds N'gannou won. I'm really curious about that. Thanks you

Boxing has become a absolute cringe fest

"...the lion can't let a shark come into the jungle..." yeah ok Lennox - we know what you mean - kind of - he must be thinking of those movies where the sharks have legs

Only thing missing from the opening ceremony was Apollo Creed dancing around in his American shorts !

Lennox's opinions have been going to the highest bidder for years now.

It actually saddens me to see a great whoring his opinions for cash.

As it happens, I agree with what he says here, but that doesn't mean I think it's his true view. I have no confidence in the guy as a boxing commentator.

Bad analogy. A lion will always destroy a shark in a jungle. Other than that, I think he's right, though, and that Fury didnt take the fight seriously enough. Had he prepped for it as he did Wilder, or will Uysk, the victory would have been much more one sided. Ngannou proved he could be a contender, though, 100%. It's hard to box someone whose not a seasoned fighter, and respect to Fury, as he tried to bulldoze Ngannou and when he saw that wouldnt work (and was knocked down), he adjusted and just outboxed him. I wasnt convinced Fury would KO him, anyway, but saw a points or TKO win.

lol.

Maybe he was thinking of a Sharknado where a tornado carries a shark into a jungle.
