    Yup you nailed it with the 10-10 rounds. But there are other scenarios.

    The fighter who was knocked down either scores one himself later, or dominates a round without a kd scored to get a 10-8 to even it back up.

    Point deductions.

    All I'm saying is that it isn't impossible.

    Watched the highlights and can’t tell who really won but Ngannou was the man of the fight.

    Ngannou punches seriously hard. Those did bother Fury. I think Nagannou’s ability has been underestimated.

    Also during the ring entrance Fury looked like he did not really want to be there. Similar to Joshua during the first Ruiz fight. For whatever reason.

    I do think Fury did look past Nagannou towards the Usyk fight. Did not properly train. And his head was not in it. That, and Ngannou showed up super motivated and prepared. Kind of like Rocky vs Mr. T.

    Why was the world Heavyweight champion fighting a debutant? I thought these mismatches were a part of the past? And secondly, why was the world Heavyweight champion floored by a debutant??

    There was only one winner,and that was Francis,a guy making his debut in boxing knocking down the heavy weight champion and pushing him all the way.maybe this was Tyson's plan all along $$$$$ rematch

    TBH the kd looked kind of fishy, unless Tyson has a glass temple...

    As I said in the main RBR thread, I've only seen the highlights, not the full fight.

    But there seems to have been a lot of rounds with little clean action where neither fighter scored much.

    Personally, I'd more than likely score that to the noob, and if Fury was as awful as seems to have been, he desrves to lose any even rounds, because it's a disgrace that there were even that competetive.

    95-94 Fury but it was a embrarassing performance from him.

    Ngannou won the event.

    I haven’t seen a “fight” with less credibility since Rocky Balboa versus Thunderlips forty years ago.
