Ngannou was robbed. This is a clear Knockdown. Add the deliberate elbow, that should be a point deduction, and Fury is done for good: What do you guys think: This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected Look how Fury head snaps when Ngannou counter punch him. Look at Fury face when he is getting up, he knows that was a KD. Clear KD.
Yes it was a clear knockdown. Ngannou was robbed of a victory. It's why I have zero anticipation for the Usyk match. Who wants to see a flabby useless has-been get taken apart? Well, there is the satsfaction of seeing him embarrassed again, but that's it.
Yeah an absolute KD, that Fury fans seems to forget about. Hell they want to forget Fury ever fought Ngannou.
Give Francis his props then But no it's slate Fury time...yet Fury will have Wlad, Wilder & Usyk on his resume. So how good is Francis is the question, very damn good if you watched that fight properly. Best boxing debut I've ever seen and will ever see. People are going to ignore regardless of form that Francis fundamentally boxed better than Chisora & Whyte two veteran boxers? Had more balls than Wlad? A better chin than Wilder, who has a good chin. Francis ain't a joke. The only thing he lacked was taking the initiative to increase the pace which was his primary concern given he has no ring time experience but he showed he had plenty left at the end of that fight. If the PFL and Saudi's had any sense they'd stick Francis on the undercard of Fury Usyk ASAP
Clear KD, but no match for the first KD when Ngannou hit him so hard Fury fleetingly thought he was Curtis Stevens...
I can see why it was not called by the ref. The jab is the punch that starts it, Fury is sort of tripping. Then Ngannou throws that hook, and he leaves the arm pressing down as Fury is going down. With his back on the ropes, Ngannou wasn't able to get out of his own way. I can see why, but I disagree with the ref here. I tend to think refs should call knockdowns when a fighter goes down. Unless, there is CLEAR indication they were thrown down or slipped. If there are punches or a fighter goes down of their own will, the ref should start giving them a count. I say this was a knockdown.
