    And I was talking about the 2nd fight but i forgot they fought twice. the 1st fight was even worse. Frazier won a UD over Ali a few opponents before getting massacred in 2 by Foreman. That was absolutely not a lucky punch after a competitive fight it was more like the fight we saw. It didn't diminish Frazier from being a top guy following. **** happens in boxing. I get that Francis is only 2 fights in but he's a combat veteran so he doesn't get the same treatment a just turned pro boxer does.

    Imo he's a boxer because he did that to Fury. I hate when guys get excused for supposedly not training properly or taking a fight serious. It's their responsibility to be prepared. And if Fury wasn't serious after looking up at Francis from the seat of his pants he doesn't deserve any respect whatsoever. It happened early in the fight and he didn't get up and "beat him from pillar to post " with all the remaining rounds and was given a very questionable nod. He's never getting a pass for that from me.

    Exactly what I’ve been saying it’s not like Ronnie O Sullivan trying to play pool and getting battered and shrugging it off this is a massive hard hitting pro who can turn anyone’s lights out with a clean shot

    Ngannau was a sitting duck and he’s lucky no permanent damage occurred but he needs to stop kidding himself boxing isn’t for him this was a quick cash grab and back to his sport similar to McGregor

    Had Fury taken that fight seriously he would have won, no problems at all. Fury beats Francis 9/10 times.

    I'm a boxing fan and not really an mma fan at all but we're doing alot of double speak when it comes to Francis. I keep seeing Fury didn't take him seriously. Fury was flat on his ass early in the fight and still couldn't "get serious"? Can't take anything away from Francis amd heavyweight boxing is the best because those things can happen to anyone.

    Fury didn't take his training and boxing seriously, that is why his performance was garbage. Anyone with half a brain cell can see that. Stop overrating Francis for fighting an unmotivated Fury.

    After Fury was on his ass, he still had 7 rounds to get serious & all he could do was land illegal elbows to eke out a SD

    Apparently a lifetime of boxing training wasn't enough for him to overcome a rank novice to boxing who surprised him with a KD even though he had 7 more rounds to do so. People then cope by claiming that he didn't "train", it can never be that he might not be as good as people have been led to believe

    Then Fury should have had no problem putting him down right?

    He was finished by the 1st fight Frazier beat him too?

    This is all talk so as to not destroy his own credibility and alienate his fan base. Fury tried his best to lose some excess weight, and that was the extend of his " grueling preparation" for the Francis fight. He didn't take his boxing training seriously at all.

    Too bad he actually did his best : “I didn’t underestimate him,” Fury said during an interview with IFL TV on Monday. “I trained for 12 weeks, [gave] it the best preparation I could’ve done. And that’s it.”

    Copy paste this sentence on Google and you'll find the link.

    That's BS, what champion gets knocked down early in the fight and doesn't take it seriously after that? That's unheard of and ridiculous to even suggest.

    Hence why he was still looking for excuses ? : “We didn’t know how good he was or how bad he was,” Fury said. “There was no footage of him, never seen the man fight before as a boxer. And that was it. So, he was a lot more awkward than I thought he’d be. And he wasn’t walking [into] me. He was an awkward man. He was good at what he was doing, so fair play to him. Don’t take anything away from him. He give me a better fight than all the boxers did in the last 10 years. I think that’s been me toughest fight I’ve had for years.”

    Fury was clearly lying. He lost some weight before the match, and that was it.
