Who looked worse: Fury against Ngannou or Usyk against Verhoeven?

For me it's clear...

Nobody is picking up on Rico's performance being much better than ngannou IMO.

 

No, Joshua wanted to prove a point. Fury embarrassed himself and the sport, Joshua put things right.

 

Fury was far worse. His boxing skills were atrocious that night, he was just trying to smother Ngannou in clinches and escaped with a razor thin decision.
At least Usyk didn't go down (what an iron chin he has) and was able to stop (although controversially) his opponent.

 

So you think Ngannou is worse than Jake Paul? or was Joshua not trying to prove a point that night?

Its pretty obvious that the fight wouldnt play out like that most of the time. Ngannou probably couldnt win but he is definitely better than the way that fight went made him seem. For one, again, the baffling switch to Southpaw is what got him caught, a very easily fixable mistake.

 

Bellew was gradually ground down, I thought he started excellently but as the rounds went by the screw turned and he was gasping for air. Reminded me of Golovkin when he would stalk opponents but he usually did from the first round onwards as it was often against overmatched opposition.

 

Rico was definitely a small form of karma for Usyk sent by the gods of war.

Usyk will reflect on this deeply

 

Joshua took 0 chances with Ngannou. He took it easy on Jake. Even the KO shot was kind of pulled.

 

Ngannou was the UFC heavyweight champion, Jake Paul is..A YouTube fighter? Or whatever you call it.

Joshua wanted to give the fans a bit of a show against Paul. If you can’t see the difference here then I don't know what to tell you.

 

There’s a clip I saw recently of Paul telling Ngannou that boxing is about hitting and not getting hit that’s why he was asleep on the canvas in 2 rounds, I don’t know whether to find it funny or a fair point because he survived that long but didn’t exactly throw much. He is by definition a pro boxer whilst a headliner area level kind of fighter, so maybe since he is more experienced than Ngannou him going on his bike and collapsing to his knees is actually a worse performance than being smashed in two rounds? Then again he was undersized and traded on occasion and took a jaw breaking shot and didn’t get knocked out so it’s a weird one lol.

 

So you think AJ/Ngannou plays out with AJ getting the KO in the first 2 rounds most of the time?

AJ very likely would have won by stoppage at some point but getting the KO that quickly while barely being touched was NOT some foregone conclusion that he pre planned because he "wanted to prove a point", it was, like I said, a bad day at the office for Ngannou, he could have given a better account of himself.

 

Fury was worse. He got dropped

 

I disagree.

 

Fury was worse he got dropped and i thought he actually lost the decision 95-94.

Rico showed more skills than Ngannou and he was also bigger than Usyk.

So whilst Usyk didn't look good he still got the stoppage in the end even though i didn't like the stoppage. But i don't think there's much doubt Usyk would've finished him off in the next round.
