    You people forget that Francis is not some bar room brawler, the man is an elite MMA striker who takes kicks,knees and punches to the head on a usual basis. It is time to give some respect to MMA striking as it is not all that bad. Fury obviously didn't take this seriously, which is bad, as it tarnishes the sport of boxing. I want to see that melon head get humiliated for his lack of discipline.

    I don't want to hear anyone say Fury is the best in the heavyweight division ever again.

    Fury trying to clinch an MMA fighter was comical. I don't think Fury treated Francis seriously. He was looking ahead to the Usyk fight.

    We've seen this from Fury before. Looking poor in a fight that seems easy but then looking brilliant against a different opponent.

    Ngannou was much better than anyone thought. And Fury probably didn't take him as serious as he should have.

    No doubt he looked rubbish last night.

    But id still tip him to beat Usyk or anyone else

    Francis clinch game is the best in boxing. anytime he clinches in close range he's going to show these guys things they never seen, mma strikes like the single collar punches , or the over under with a sneaky uppercut. He did a lot of mma clinch striking tonight.

    It's pretty important that Fury needs to try and correct this, from a legacy and boxing community standpoint. I think he needs to rematch Ngannou post haste.

    If that happens it's either for his belt or he gets stripped. Fury can **** off.

    One of Furys major weapons is the clinch and putting his weight on his almost always smaller opponents, he couldn't do it in this fight and looked crap.

    Zhang would be Furys hardest fight, just as big as Fury and can bang.

    If a rematch was to take place, the belt should be on the line no doubt.

    Kinda like big baby Miller, fighters would gas from hitting him in the face and it having zero effect.

    Fury is a disgrace to the sport of boxing.
