    Not a shock.

    I made a thread just last week about Fury backing up in straight lines with this "kronk" style with is hype nonsense...but Fury unlike most heavyweights lacks the type of savage knockout power that works under that style.

    His jab has gone which is horribly sad and is basically a death sentence.

    He looked like his Wilder 3 condition but atleast he could bully Wilder. He couldn't bully Francis.

    Francis is the first man EVER to handle Fury in a clinch. Which is a MASSIVE tactical game changer.

    AJ at least closed the show. Fury kept his hands at home for the entirety of the final round.

    I think Ngannou destroys Whyte, Whyte is finished. Ngannou can improve on what he showed tonight.

    I surely hope you're joking. Anyone else in or near the top 10 would pick Ngannou apart.

    I don't think you're wrong. But the bigger factor might be that Fury looked like he had been complacent in the build-up to the fight, expected to run through Ngannu with no game plan and got caught out.

    Fury may also just be shot. I've never seen Fury look so dis-coordinated, stiff, and one-dimensional. But we'd have to see both men in another fight to know how much of this is Fury decline and how much is Ngannu's talent.

    That said, creedit to Ng, he showed elite mentallity and showed up to win. Only disappointed that he didn't put it on Fury in the 10th round because Ng was the one who looked dangerous, Fury looked vulnerable and unwilling to engage.

    Based on their last fights, USKY getting folded for five minutes by a bodyshot and Fury getting ragdolled by an MMA guy, it's a pickem.

    I struggle to pick the little guy but that performance from Fury was terrible, he could be done.

    Ngannou might have gazumped Wilder for a pop at Joshua.

    Usyk easily against such version of Fury.

    Even Fury no longer believes he can win this. He lost his confidence tonight

    The fight won't happen.
    Otherwise Usyk by a KO anything between 7-11.

    I thought Fury would deal with Usyk easily but tonight was a bad performance from Fury. The question is, has Fury slipped a lot or did Ngannou just make him look bad? Fury will need to be a lot sharper against Usyk.

    I'm not ok because they'll stick an ugly lump in front of Francis who can actually bang and will chin him. I bet Whyte has already called Eddie Hearn.

    Then he'll claim he beat Francis better than Fury. LOL.
