Tyson Luke Fury vs. Francis Zavier Ngannou

Francis is a top level MMA striker, he is not just some guy off the streets that agreed to fight Fury.

 

Ngannou had the round in the bag 10-8 why risk anything,he even said himself a few times in interviews that Fury has great recovery powers and is more dangerous when he gets up. Ngannou simply did his homework and followed it perfectly .

 

I'm not sure what's gonna be a worse look for boxing... Fury's performance against a complete novice last night or when Fury beats Usyk after that!

 

If you're a professional athlete, you have to give your best in every game. Especially if you're carrying the honor of boxing on your back. Otherwise, you have to retire or die.

 

I hope Fury doesn't duck and retire again.

 

Pretty sure Olek has a few more English words to his bow than he lets on - but I like it, keeps it simple and direct. Kostya Tszyu made good copy in a similar way. Olek is a very likeable dude.

 

Fury is super lucky he got out of the fight with 0 intact, although his rep is in bits.

 

He got choked out by a street fighter.

 

Bring em. I think they are going to be surprised at the lower weight classes where skill is actually a thing. Fury failed boxing. Make no mistake! Fat pos barely trained and abused his body.

 

Nah. Floyd handled Conor with ease.

 

Bigger paydays but a waste of their talents. Ngannou vs Jones or the Pavlovich/Aspinall winner is far more interesting than anything Ngannou can do in a boxing ring.

 

If Ngannou had trained in boxing since he was a kid, would he have become a world champion? He gave Fury about all he could handle last night.

 

Likely, yes.

 

He probably would have been completely unknown in boxing. France is hardly a major media market for the sport and in general most boxers languish in obscurity for years even if they're good. The UFC is a much bigger platform and is willing and able to fast track people to stardom. Obviously the paydays at the top arent as big but now we are in a position where MMA guys can leverage their name value into boxing main events and paydays anyway.

 

Miocic has a good boxing technique, but now he is quite old...
