    Strange one but Fury lost that fight imo,however Ngannou never complained about the result and both Lewis and Usyk had Fury winning SMH .

    Don't be a little ***** and compare Usyk to Fury. Usyk is a much better boxer than Fury and it will show if they finally meet.

    Absolutely, he could take out at least half the Top 30, Heavyweight is that much of a shitheap.

    In the RBR you said, after 2 rounds, that Fury looked bad on purpose, to carry Ngannou. Now that he arguably lost the fight, you change the narrative and say that the whole fight was fake.

    Heart more than chin - he's not been sparked, he just doesn't like getting hurt.

    The question is whether Dubois being in much better shape than Fury and carrying some actual power in his punches would give FN something else to think about and possibly cause problems of his own.

    Dubois has been pushed hard and not accomplished an awful lot, but I do think this could be competitive... I don't disagree at all that it won't happen

    Let's wait and see, but I truly expect a rematch is incoming. Fury gets another bag, and boxing takes another L. And "hardcore" fans keep lining his pockets.

    How many said they were only buying Chisora because Usyk fight was next. Then they still paid for tonight's trash! Too many boxing fans are easy marks.

    No people who know who Francis was are not surprised.

    Francis has better power than Fury
    Better chin
    and better clinch game.

    He also is in better physical shape than Fury, that is always been true.

    Fury won solely on experience and having a better jab and reach.

    Styles make fights , you got to look at boxing, mma, an other combat sports in a nuance way. People just look at a wikipedia page and assume everything should go as scripted.

    No, I want to see him back in MMA and preferably back in the UFC where Jones and the Pavlovich/Aspinall winner would make for great fights for him. If not that then using his profile to help PFL grow as a legit competitor to the UFC.

    It does make me laugh though because a few months ago on here some people were claiming Ngannou would lose to guys like Dave Allen. Hopefully this has sobered a few people up.

    You're going to see what a big man does to a midget

    Even if his elbows are shot to pieces and he has a 6 round gas tank Fury will find a way to eat this man

    It was a great round for Ngannou, the most dominate round of the entire fight.

    Was Ngannou so good or Fury just shee*ite ? The person in the ring looked like Fury but fought nothing at all like him. Which boxers would even be willing to fight Ngannou ?
