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

[Langinbang187]

Dude got up off his couch and factually showed up fatter than he has for any fight in his career. His whole marketing pitch for the fight was him showing up shirtless out of shape to every press conference.


Kind of like when Mayweather would show up to the Conor press conferences claiming he was old and slowing down lol.


Boxing is a foul game and now they’ve found ways to tap into MMA money.

Is this your first Tyson Fury fight?

 

[IncreaseDanaPay]

He overlooked Francis and expected an entirely different gameplan out of him. He came in the worst shape of his life and probably has only trained for Usyk. Looked like a complete slob out there and was hesitant after the knockdown

If he woulda let Francis go out and box Tyson Fury the UFC's stock would have fucking sky rocketed right now.

It's a tremendous loss, and I will be waiting for shareholders to start leaning on Endeavour after this.

 

[Paul E Gensinger]

The cleanest strike he landed was an intentional elbow.

Ngannou was never even stunned and Tyson was hurt multiple times.
HOW DID TYSON WIN that?
If I was Michael Buffer I would have said, I'm not reading this bullsh@@ and dropped the mic and left.

 

[CombatCyborg]

Let us remember the first Fury vs Wilder fight, where Tyson maybe could have lost that fight to a split decision because of the knockdown.
Instead it was a draw,....ok,...what happened in the second fight,...Fury whooped his ass.
I believe this fight here,....not saying he didnt have trouble with Francis, or Wilder in the first fight, but he does know how to build and re match, for a boatload more money; Fury is a master manipulator; its that Gypsy blood in the family lol.

I'll be that guy for the sake of discussion, I honestly thought something fishy was going on because of Tyson's demeanour. He looked like he didn't give a fuck whether he won or lost, and when it was going to the judges the thought crossed my mind that he bet against himself. Then he got the nod. And notwithstanding that, how could he have planned what I just said? I have no fucking idea but yeah he looked too comfortable either way.

 

[Ulug Ulus]

Honestly, it’s one fight. Ngannou was an unknown and gave an A+ performance, while Fury gave a D- performance. If they fight again I’m almost certain Fury wins again, more decisively.

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

I remember everyone saying that Ngannou wouldnt even touch Fury since he made Gane look like Mayweather on the feet, that he was faking the knee injury, etc. But tonight he looked fluid and explosive, even better than the Stipe 2 fight, a far cry from his "stuck in the mud" performance at his last ufc fight.

I bet Ngannou would probably starch Gane in a rematch, even if it was kickboxing or boxing rules.

 

[OldBoy91]

Pretty sure he was just trying to get in and out injury free so he can fight Usyk soon.

Wasn't expecting Francis to be very good and thought he could coast.

 

[Bowser]

Francis was promoted as a UFC champion

Like it or not the UFC did benefit

 

[TITS]

I'm sure Ariel will be giving Francis the complete ballwashing with extra polish on his show Monday.

 

[traditionally_irreverent]

ufc is dying

 

[HatKick]

Forget about Conor. Francis did better than Wilder.

 

[whitebelt4life]

Wilder and Usyk are legit but the rest not so much.

Wilder, the guy who Fury tko'd twice? Ok.

 

[Barteh]

This is the Gus vs. Jones effect. The underdog challenger shocking us so much that people start yelling robbery. I think it's pretty fair to give Fury 6 out of the 10 rounds.

 

[cheesus]

Yep, crossover fights historically hasn't worked out well for him in the past with Conor fighting Floyd and Chuck fighting in Pride but this would've been huge, imagine if they setup Francis vs Jones after this. Potentially the fight of the decade.

 

[heohanwuoc]

he was flat footed in Gane fight, against Fury he was in tipping toe mode even in later rounds

 

[dittohead84]

Judging by his shape it didn't look like he trained that hard for this and thought his skills would be more than enough

 

[Siver!]

Francis was promoted as a UFC champion

Like it or not the UFC did benefit

And when boxing fans look into how to watch Francis' next MMA fight...

 

[Fact Checker]

Only an absolute mark would have bought this PPV and I'd like to take the time to tell you you're one of the worse posters I've seen pop up on this forum in the last few years. Are you related to Dreyga?

Funny how “MMA fans” on this site act all happy that Big Frank is going to make “real money” outside of the UFC… but then brag about streaming lol. How do you expect this guy to get paid? If you have the means, gotta buy the PPV.


Try being a man for once in your life little bro.
