    um i'm pretty sure i was implying not to overhype francis . That was the point of my post.

    I dunno why you thought this was a gotcha of some kind.

    Is that why you post like a f’n idiot? So people will interact with you? Are you that starving for attention you resort to trolling for responses?

    No, Fury`s head movement baffled Wlad despite him not getting much off offensively he clearly won.

    Wlad would probably jab and grab to an awful points win, but how Francis deals with the clinch would interesting.

    Exactly the opposite. Wlad should avoid clinching and land from distance. Which is not a hard task considering how awful Ngannou's defensive skills are

    Wlad`s whole style was about jabbing and grabbing, boring fighter.

    If you think that’s the reason why do you keep falling for the bait? Low iq perhaps?

    Easier to point out how stupid and ignorant you are. Only takes a sec.

    Shows how little you know about boxing Wlad would always box tall fighters and not lean on them which was usually a result of the smaller boxer lunging in. Ask Tony Thompson, Wlach, Ray Austin, Mccline, Shufford to name a few.

    Official punch stats: Fury 86/371, Wlad 52/231

    Judges in Germany: 8-4/9-3 to B-side Fury

    Eyeonthering RBR: 10-2 Fury

    Boxrec RBR: 11-1 Fury

    Most on this forum's RBR had it as a clear win to Fury, despite Fury being heavily disliked for various reasons and expected to lose by 95%.

    Maybe the problem is your inability to impartially score a boxing match.

    Judge officials disagree with you:

    Raul Caiz Sr 115-112
    Ramon Cerdan 116-111
    Cesar Ramos 115-112

    2 of the judges saw it a close win for Fury.

    People in this forum hated Wlad when he was the champion, they accused him for being boring and clinching. So, I'm not surprised they were happy to see Wlad losing to Fury. Years later they started appreciating how great Wlad was.

    8-4 in rounds = 115-112 if there is a point deduction from the 8-4 winner, which there of course was. Wlad's officials did their best for him in controversially awarding him half as many rounds as Fury plus a free point but it wasn't nearly enough. Wlad could have scored 2 KD's in rounds he was awarded and he still would have lost.

    "So, I'm not surprised they were happy to see Wlad losing to Fury."

    They weren't. It was one of the few fights where Wlad was better liked than his (relatively well known) challenger, similar to Liston vs Ali. Even Wlad's supporters generally recognised that he'd lost and lost clearly, CST80 for instance said something like "please rob Fury" iirc.
