Comments Thread For: Ngannou: If Tyson Fury is Being Honest, He Will Say I Won That Fight!

[Houstoncat]

Fury won the fight but not by much. Ngannou gave a great account of himself and came extreamly close to upsetting Fury. Ngannou has a future in boxing.

Let’s be real. Francis fought a 35 year old, fat, flabby Fury. He fought a Fury who has for years now, been abusing drugs and alcohol. The damage he sustained from Wilder has also caught up with an absolute vengeance. Even if he tried to fully commit to training, I do not feel he can physically be capable due to what I stated. His time is up.

Yes....but the problem is he brought the entire Boxing world into one of the most embarrassing moments in Boxing history with his whole circus act that culminated into a complete failure with the UFC world laughing at our sport now. Never in history has a world champion had to now redeem himself against a guy with a 0-0-0 boxing record coming in. This fits the expression "YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHT UP!" perfectly. What a fking headcase Fury is.

If Ngannou has to be honest, he has to admit that despite being roided as a bull and facing a shade of Fury, he lost, regardless of the knockdown.

Was there drug testing for this fight?

Fury was obviously training more at McDonalds than in a boxing gym. He didn't do his roadwork and he came in at the same weight as he did when he fought Wilder, which is around 275 lbs. He made himself look bad as well as gave the sport of boxing a black eye. Nobody gives MMA fighters any kind of experience for their MMA fights that take place striking. Francis is known for his striking game more than his ground and pound game. He always had a good jab and uppercut and knows how to use his power. His footwork was good. I didn't expect Fury to overwhelm Francis but I expected him to come in good shape and dominate him. Around the 9th and 10th round, Francis tired quite a bit and was ready for the taking but Fury couldn't even get him out of there. So many people thought that Fury barely won and so many thought Francis won. The correct result should have been a draw. Fury and his loudmouth father should be ashamed of themselves and keep their mouths shut.

For Fury's sake I hope he trains really hard for the fight with Usyk, comes in shape and takes this fight seriously because if he fights the way he did yesterday then Usyk will be undisputed heavyweight champion and the world will finally be rid of Fury.

As much as I hate to say it, I thought Francis won by a round. The heavyweight in the modern era is just junk and this proves it a guy never had a boxing fight in his entire life beats or loses by a round the so called best heavyweight in the world with 35 fights and WBC champ. What an absolute joke/.

Ngannou is the lineal champion

[Corelone]

NG vs Andy, or Zhang. He'll get bum rushed. Nganoo is no boxer and Fury is playing with fire. He doesn't take anything serious.

Oh great, boxingscene is turning into bn24 with all the emosh commenters.

Last night Ngannou won the fans including myself. But after a 2nd watch just to score the fight the 96 93 was the most accurate & matched the compubox stats.
Ngannou only won rds 3 & 8 & Fury clearly out boxed Ngannou for 6 rounds with a couple of rounds where next to nothing was landed that could go either way.

Next I want to see Ngannou v Aj on the undesputed undercard.

This was a boxing match, so fury won. But Francis came out of this a winner knocking heavyweight champ of the whole world down and not going down himself.
Fury would agree Francis is a winner

Was there drug testing for this fight?

Can't tell. Usually, they rarely talk when a fighter (and athlete overall) is tested, they only tell when he fails. But tests must be announced, so fans should know if it's all done properly and fair for everyone.
