    MMA fighters are bigged up for boxing skills they simply don't have.

    No elite MMA fighter wins a serious fight under the Marquess of Queensberry rules against any decent contender in boxing under the same weight conditions.

    Will Fury-Ngannou go over 8.5 rounds or under 8.5 rounds?

    What do you think? All opinions welcome.

    Please show us a recent picture of Tyson Fury.

    If he looks like a blimp, it may take him a while and Ngannou actually has a chance.

    If he looks like he did his training, then he puts Ngannou away whenever he feels like it.

    To be honest I have a morbid desire to see Fury not train and get sparked out cold by a debut boxer. I will have a good laugh if that happens.

    Not really a fight I'm interested but expecting similar to May V McGregor.

    Nagannu will press early - Fury will box and hold and then as he tires Fury will start to land bigger shots.

    I don't follow MMA so only seen clips of Francis but on a training clip I saw the other day he looked really slow on the heavy bag and sloppy on the focus pads might be cause he'd been training for hours at a time but if he's that slow on fight night. Fury bangs him all over the ring and stops him for about 5 rounds.

    I can’t see it going over to be honest, regardless of whether or not fury puts his foot on the gas, the ufc guy is a 3 round fighter who will be blowing out of his arse by the 5th round

    Ngannou is an awful striker by boxing standards. All he has is massive power. His speed and technique are both woeful. Miocic absolutely picked him apart in their first fight and I'd take Fury over Miocic in a boxing ring any day of the week.

    That's the reason Fury wanted to fight Ngannou. He's a soft touch that looks like a hard out, and he brings a ton of cash for an easy night's work.

    The spanner in the works is if Fury hasn't trained for this.

    Ngannou has the boxing skills of a spastic on fentanyl but if he manages to land one of his car bombs on Fury it's not going to be fun for our favourite pie eater. The one way for Fury to lose this is if he took Ngannou lightly and trained in a pub. TF is deeply frustrating in this respect because he has all the raw talent in the world and minimal will to turn the raw talent into an ATG boxing record.

    If ngannou lands a lucky hail mary punch boxing looks very bad. This place will also be flooded with Floyd fans trying to big up his bs fight vs Mcgregor.
    Best Fury gets the win and just moves on to Usyk or f's off out of boxing.

    Ngannou will gas in 3 rounds. He will collapse from exhaustion by round 6 on his own. That's assuming Fury doesn't even land a punch.

    This is an absolute lose-lose spectacle for pork belly slice. ( finances aside)



    Pointless win or humiliating loss.



    And remember, **** CAN happen to the best of us...

    I might listen to the radio during Wardley-Adeleye. The rest of the card is a dumpster fire in terms of actual sporting contests. Won't be wasting my time with it, and certainly not my money.

    Jeezus, it's basically begging to be fleeced by boxing promoters if I was to actually purchase this.
