    Seems really fake. Tyson let Ngannou knock him down rd 3 and let Ngannou hit him. He also faked being tired in the last two rds. How does the conditioning of a pro boxer look more gassed than an amateur? Fake as fuk. The split decision was also decided before the fight to minimize betting payouts.

    He's just not as good as everyone thought.

    I'll tell you the problem Fury had, he drank 26 pints instead of only 25. Had he drank only 25 like he said he would have walked through Francis.

    Fury can't deal with Usyk's shiftiness, speed, timing, and skill. Especially not this version. Usyk wins it clearly.

    There are so many people who believe the extra weight he's been carrying weight since winning the championship from Klitschko has actually been a positive. It doesn't take a genius to realize he was at his best when he fought Vladimir.

    I’m still picking Fury simply for his size,but he better be in shape,focussed and train hard because if not Usyk will cruise it. Fury was garbage and it seemed Ngannous size was certainly a factor also,which brings us to Fury v Zhang now that would be interesting .

    Everyone at HW can bang and can put you down. And Fury doesn't have the greatest chin. It's not China, but it's not great either. He has been down by absolute featherfists in the past, so i don't read too much into that.

    And yeah Ngannou power is overrated. The whole Guinness World Record is b.c. It's a recorded punch on a machine PowerKube, and that was a promotional video done. But the casual believe to anything.

    I double checked. After the KD, gnandou threw one jab to the body. Period. Nothing else.

    Still there are people who cant see that this **** is staged. Amazing.

    Pork belly dosser also said he could drink 15 pints and then beat Joshua and could drink 25 pints and then beat Ngannou ( I have said it numerous times but I'll say it again, Ngannou has zero boxing experience and has also not fought for 21 months yet was able to drop, over power fury in the clinch and repeatedly
    Change stance).....let that sink in

    cmon man. We’ve never seen Fury look like this. He looked like he was very cautious with his cardio. In only a 10 rounder. His activity was almost nonexistent. He came in heavy. It’s clear he didn’t do the hard yards. These guys say all kinds of crap in the media. Fury especially. He’s the king of saying crap.

    I don't know... Could see someone like Dubois taking it hoping to regain relevance after getting humiliated by Usyk.

    It'd be an interesting fight - Dubois can bang (unlike Fury) but if Ngannou can land some decent shots he could fold like a pack of cards (again).

    Probably a good level to start building upwards from for FN too...

    Almost certainly never happens, of course.

    That was a stinker of a fight, hardly any action and Fury ran from the rematch where I believe Klitchscko would have made the adjustments but we'll never know because Fury went AWOL

    Of course it was fake.

    The full fight is full of inconsistencies.

    Do you kow how many punches gnandou threw after he KD'd fury? can you guess?

    One jab to the body. PERIOD. Nothing else. LITERALLY.

    That **** was staged as ****.
