    I was most impressed by his ability to fight out of two stances, his disciplined game plan and execution, he has power and he just barely missed some bombs that would likely have connected on a shorter less elusive target. He was strong in the clinches and countered well at times. For a non boxer competing in a high profile 10 rounder I was way more impressed with him than a lot of other guys crossing over

    not only that, also a guy who started as a boxer and also is almost completely depended on his boxing, just like mcgregor

    Floyd was in control the entire time and carried McGregor. The only embarassing thing was, that despite his wealth, he chose money over legacy and decided to give McGregor even a chance. It was a sparring session for Floyd where he gave maybe 20%.

    As if crushing Usyk is the easy part :lol: :lol: Ngannou is still at best a plodder in a boxing context. I ****ing knew Fury was going to look past him and he did. And he nearly paid the price. Usyk is on another planet compared to Ngannou

    Extremely normal for someone who's never boxed before. Unless his corner is instructing him to pounce of Fury then he has to make a judgements call and hope to land another clean counter. He's used to jumping on guys and smashing their face in when he knocks them down so I'm sure it's a huge culture shock honestly.

    I think higher output guys with speed would really trouble him, but not many are around to do so.

    Ngannou isn't a fluid front foot boxer. His gameplay was to counter all night and he stuck with.it. Fury just kept out of range after getting dropped heavily.

    Still got hit with some clean punches making boxing look bad by it since actually some very good/great fighters couldn't hit him clean at all and non-boxer did it more than once.

    i think he sensed Fury wasnt all that hurt, he got up quick and was bouncing up and down on his toes and did not look weary in his legs. Is it weird, sort of but the fight itself was fought at a very measured pace.

    I agree and I wholeheartedly believe Floyd carried him he was in zero danger

    That last night was a joke
