    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.

    Yeah, would not be surprised if Fury or Usyk fight John Jones after their fight. That’s if Jones is not under a contract of some sort.

    Fury having a close fight with Ngannou might be good for the sport. Or Ufc is going to have to pay their stars more to keep them from crossing over to boxing to make more money.

    You’re right , Fury does usually fight to the level of his opposition and the way he looked last night had two questions for me?

    1. he didn’t take it seriously AT ALL
    2 he is declining rapidly


    Me personally , I feel he didn’t take it too seriously and his physical appearance and his performance suggest that a lot. Plus Francis did so much better than anyone could have possibly anticipated and he wound up making Fury play it safe for the entire fight. One thing is for sure if he doesn’t get himself prepared properly for Usyk he will lose. So hopefully last night was a wake up call for him to not cut corners and overlook anyone.

    Jake Paul has knocked out a few ufc names. They generally are not good boxers. Fury's horrible Ngannou display doesn't change that overnight

    I can't defend this ****.. no one can.. the sport has been humiliated. Warren scored a massive own goal. Fury has embarrassed boxing & ruined his entire legacy. Ngannou didn't even do anything special hes basic & slow .. Joshua would probably bang him out .. Fury is done, stick a fork in him..

    Fury will make good.

    But Francis has to wait whilst the champs deal with their business.

    Then Fury can retire off making right a wrong in a Francis rematch

    He got his reality check. The problem occurs if he feels like he trained hard and came on form which he didn't because he was gassed and didn't jab at all.

    MMA and Boxing are two completely different disciplines

    It was completely deserved after years of stupid circus fights that should never have happened. Guys with 0-0 boxing records being put in PPV main events etc and those being some of the most high profile fights in the sport.

    McGregor actually had a pretty good kicking game. It was the way he blended his taekwondo skills and his boxing together that made him so dangerous in MMA. He mixed in spinning back kicks, wheel kicks, hook kicks, side kicks to the knee, left roundhouse kicks to the head, snapping front kicks, etc. It was leg kicks that really won him the second Diaz fight for example. He could use elbows from the clinch very effectively. He was quite well rounded at one point.

    Ngannou's game, on the other hand, was like 95% based around his brawling/power punching boxing style. He had just enough takedown defense to hold off some grapplers and the barebones of a jiu-jitsu game. But he was the definition of one-dimensional.
