Media *** Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Post Fight Discussion MEGATHREAD ***

[atomhoodie]

1000% good on Francis. He deserves it

 

[The Clark]

Only bag he dropped was Fury lol.

He might've lost but that dude had the balls the leave the UFC, and every talked shit.
He signed with PFL, and everyone talked shit.

Got a fight with Fury, and everyone talked shit...and didn't give 2 fucks about anyone's opinion.

The man just dropped the #1 HW in the world, and showed a granite chin and much better boxing than anyone gave him credit for.

He might have lost, but he won a lot of hearts tonight.

Fuckin Francis, he's a good shit.

He dropped the 6'9" bag of milk. What makes it even more interesting is that Jones still hasn't made it back to the cage, and maybe he never will. Slam dunk for Francis.

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

Francis should fight AJ or Wilder
.. Then a title eliminator for mandatory status.
Fury looked terrible. Looked like he didn't train at all. Timing trash. Conditioning trash. Jab trash. Was missing by miles. Was terrible off the break. Francis totally outclassed him in the clinch, on the break, and in the transitions.
Francis looked like the more seasoned fighter at times.
Absolute insanity.

Francis should get ranked off of this LMAO

Agreed. Francis did much better than I expected. That's for sure. I haven't seen Fury look this bad since he unretired and faced Seferi and those other cans. It looks like he really overlooked Francis and I knew coming in at 277 lbs could've been a big mistake. Well, it was. Usyk will beat Fury. The only chance Fury has is to try and impose his size & strength.

 

[Hazuki Ryo]

Fury came chilling but still a great performance

 

[DougieJones]

Wow holy fucking brutal.

Right in front of the ref too. Embarrassing but what else should we expect?

 

[Yagadot]

Yeah I agree, I dont think he trained as hard as he went on about..I have never seen him get tired or be so hesitant. Based on the way he started vs how he fought after Francis caught him it really looked that way.

Fury’s timing was off too. Looked atrocious. Definitely didn’t treat this as a competitive match up. He was very lucky because the scorecards could have gone either way.

 

[RayA]

I didn’t watch it but what happened? Was Tyson basically fucking around with him the entire time?

Francis was surpringly patient. He didn't lunge in or come charging forward, instead he controlled the center of the ring forcing Fury to be the aggressor. Despite getting out-boxed for the most part, Ngannou was punishing a lot of Fury's entries and even scored a Knockdown in rnd 3. Fury was throwing less than you'd expect, and seemed genuinely in trouble a few times.

Split decision win for Fury, but it can be reasonably argued for Ngannou.

Francis and mma > boxing

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

They’ll be a UFC Performance Institute outside every African sand mine by 2025

 

[bjj4everyone]

Boxing is a joke and has been for a long time. I didn't think Ngannou had a chance myself. Wish this would've put the final nail in the coffin of boxing but my guess is they're gonna milk this cow dry.

Yeah man I knew right before they read the scores that they were gonna rob him… they can’t keep getting away with it!!!!111

 

[GearSolidMetal]

I was very impressed.

Agreed.

I predicted the only chance Ngannou had was to blitz Fury in the early rounds, and if he boxed with Fury he stood no chance.

By the end of the 2nd round I was thinking 'well this is gonna be an easy win for Fury, regardless if Ngannou gets tired in the later rounds leaving him open to be easily TKOed, or an easy-peasy unanimous decision.

Then that 3rd round happened... holy shit.

Wished there was a greater sense of urgency for Ngannou in the later rounds but he was probably more tired than he looked.

Throughout the fight I was thinking the boxing judges wouldn't give any rounds to Ngannou they wouldn't have to, like Mayweather/McGregor, but to my shock they were amazingly fair. A split decision? And the last scorecard only had Fury up by one point?

Fuck... Saudi Arabia isn't Vegas, that's for sure.

Fury is lucky this was a 10-rounder, and not 12.

 

[The XL]

Fury wasn't engaging because Fury was shook at Ngannou's power. He also couldn't bully and wear him out in the clinch like he did to Wilder

 

[2004 account]

Actually this should put him at top 3 in the rankings imo

 

[dogsdonutsdragons]

Wilder has insane ko power.

go back in his career a bit. he had surgery on that arm. started knocking people dead after that. kind of interesting.

 

[chimpoehurricane]

Fucking barely. He took way more brain damage tonight than Francis

Paddy cake wins in boxing. Shocking eh?

 

[headlessTao]

They both won 5 rounds, but Francis had a knockdown and Fury didn't. Francis won.

 

[FreedomCricket]

He held back punches all fight even when Ngannou gassed hard midway through the fight Fury obviously slowed his pace down to and carried the fight to the finish line. Did zero work and now he’s going to rob the casual MMA fanbase for a rematch

Ngannou didn't gas until late in the 7th round.

Not bad for being off over 18 months

 

[Gluhov]

MMA are so incredibly gullible lol.


Fury didn’t even throw punches all fight, now that rematch is going to cash in 10 fold and you simps will pay top dollar for another charade lol

Exactly. The 8th and 9th round are embarrassing. Francis blew his load in the 7th yet Fury did absolutely nothing in the 8th and 9th.

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

y’all under stand this, then it’s all you need to understand.

 

[Khaosan]

MMA are so incredibly gullible lol.


Fury didn’t even throw punches all fight, now that rematch is going to cash in 10 fold and you simps will pay top dollar for another charade lol

Let me guess, he chose to hit the canvas too?
