Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury On Francis Ngannou: I Didn't Underestimate Him; I Trained For 12 Weeks

[Bob]

Like Ricky Hatton to many fat camps has caught up with Fury.
Against Ngannou Fury was technically the smaller guy & was shocked by how he was man handled, Ngannou didn't even blink at the elbow.

Usyk, Fury will have the strength advantage again but he needs to be on point with his diet & fitness before facing Usyk at the end of February. Right now its advantage Usyk.

Joke right? Ortiz actually can box. Ngannou can`t.

Just because Fury struggled with him doesn`t mean that Wilder would struggle.

I'm not sure. Ortiz of course has more skills, but Ngannou was able to avoid punches and counter when needed. Fury was moving all around him and looking for holes but couldn't find any. That was impressive.

I still think that Ngannou loses vs most skilled fighters (eg Usyk, Sanchez, possibly Ruiz) but is very solid and can be a challenge for most, including AJ.

You were losing weight 12 weeks, you where not training, you planned to train for Usyk after you lose weight

[James]

Tyson on full damage control. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise, maybe Tyson will pull his head out his ass and train hard for Usyk.

Or maybe he stays away from Usyk and milks a Ngannou rematch then something else.

I believe that he will pull his head out his ass and train hard for Usyk. If that happens Usyk has no chance.

You know what I think? If Fury really wants a tough fight, he must fight Zhang. Zhang is a big strong southpaw that can punch.

Fury weighed 20 lbs heavier than he did with Wilder. He def didn't take this seriois. But he is a guy who won't outloud give an excuse and that's understandable. If they rematch he will give Francis the boxing lesson he should have gotten

Fury trained for 12 weeks with the UK curling team on a couch with a bags of Doritos. What a clown.

There’s a thing called overtraining, if you train for too long you over do it and you end up being flat on the night

Fury was his heaviest ever at 277.5 pounds, he was a fat blob, out of all of Fury's problems, the one thing I never think he has to worry about is overtraining.

[elfag]

Fury came in at 277 so he was a little under his weight in other fights. Teddy Atlas suggested that the weight loss was muscle loss as he still looked flabby. His arms especially had zero muscle tone.

No that is the heaviest he ever been by like half a pound compared to wilder 3. Hes been as low as mid 240s for several fights and still wasnt cut at that weight. His career is almost over now so its water under the bridge but he shouldnt have been gaining so much between fights, if he is 277 after camp then he was well over 300 walking around between fights. A world class athlete shouldnt have 60 pounds of excess fat, its just ridiculous.

[Combat Talk Radio]

“We didn’t know how good he was or how bad he was,” Fury said. “There was no footage of him, never seen the man fight before as a boxer."

Yeah...ok

“Just seen Francis Ngannou and Mike Tyson and that so-called trainer, the one that has got the pads on, in the open workout,” Fury said in a video posted on social media. “I hope he’s kidding along and he’s playing possum here. I hope that’s a joke and intended to be a laugh because if it’s not, he ain’t got a prayer. He ain’t got a hell’s chance. He won’t get out the first round. It’ll probably be Tyson’s quickest knockout.”
