    Totally objective. Felt like he had only nicked it by a round watching it live but then again I was having a mental breakdown so it's easy to become irrational and doom monger at that point.

    Fury won. It is an historical point of fact. A knockdown by the loser doesn't change that.
    Just like when Lennox beat Vitali. All the fantasy BS won't make that different.

    N'Gannou didn't win the 2nd or the 4th. They were both quite clear to Fury.

    I'd like to bump this one if I could because I am wondering if opinions have changed at all now that things have settled. For my part, I still think Ngannou won pretty handily.

    i thought ngannou did enough to win. boxing has never been closer to complete humiliation than that night. and boxing has shamed itself plenty over the years.

    I thought fury edged it and wasn't even trying. You could tell by the condition he was in and his reaction to the knockdown that he wasn't taking the fight seriously

    If you score it round by round - the way boxing is meant to be scored - Fury won it. But it was a very ordinary performance from a guy who thought he could just turn up and win. Well he did. But only just.

    Ngannou broke the "rules" .

    The entire fight was imho agreed and setup in a way fury takes it easy with ngannou and carries him . While fury played by the book ngannou took it deadly serious and catched fury in a moment he was unconcentrated . After that knockdown fury struggled to fire on all cylinders and barely won . He also made a further mistake to wrestle and clinch with ngannou .

    Ngannou then really believed he is an elite boxer until aj showed him the thruth .

    If fury would approach the fight like AJ did it would look similar without ngannou ever having a chance to touch fury .

    I had Tyson by one point. And it was not an impressive point.

    Fury was up by the count of 3 or 4.

    Have you even seen the fight?

    Lying can't change what really happened.

    I had 95-94 Fury. A disgraceful performance by the WBC world heavyweight champion against a boxer in his first professional fight (....), but I think the verdict was fair.

    Shocking performance from Fury who clearly didn’t take the fight seriously, but a fairly clear victory for Fury all the same. You’d have to be quite generous to Ngannou to find enough rounds for him to win
