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

[Leinster Rugby]

Hespect

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Surely nobody can seriously vote “no” on this now, right?

Oh you can bet the shills will. Lmao

 

[Da Speeit]

Fury just didn't take it serious.
Go watch the fight again and you'll see that Fury won 7 or 8 rounds. Ngannou had the KD and a moment in the 8th where he landed a few decent shots. That was pretty much it

I gave Fury 7 rounds myself

 

[Neck&Neck]

Dana needs to fight him, like Tito

 

[Dana's Moonface]

He already did
That is what got me put on ignore

Absolute coward

Ufc SUCKS y’all. I’m glad Francis ruined it

 

[mudrubble]

Wow. Talk about KINDLY scorching the fkn earth.

"Dana controls them - they don't have their own personalities" - Jon and so many fighters are having to ask themselves questions about ceilings and floors. Questions they've been able to comfortably avoid asking until now. But Francis has shown something about ceilings and floors. And where he is, near the ceiling? Ain't nobody up there with him from the UFC.

Today, Francis is more popular than Dana and Dana is the UFC's biggest star.

"Ask him - I'm curious too. But I'm too big to be his puppet" - this is calling a snake a snake and a spade a digging implement. He is telling truths that fighters cannot tell. And the Saudis will back him in his free speech. Dana's petty threats about sabotaging his success are impotent today.

"It takes a lot to stand up and say what you feel, and not everybody has that" - man is talking like a straight up king of his own kingdom. I'm done doubting this human being on anyhing.

Genuine question.

Fury's team seem desperate to make it known that he trained properly for 12 weeks.

This seems completely out of keeping with his performance.

Why would they do this?

EDIT:
Their stance is just confusing. Shane is in an interview implying Fury was distracted during camp and that he's not sure if what we saw from Fury is 'it' from now on.
In the same interview he reiterates several times that Fury did the training camp properly and took the fight seriously.

So which is it?
1: Fury's finished and has no business fighting for unification fights
2: Fury once again didn't bother to train for a fight properly

In retrospect the Fury that came in against Wilder the 3rd time was complacent IMO.
Old habits die hard.

 

[SharpasaRazor]

It gives me great pleasure to know somewhere Dana is sitting glued to his phone reading ALL this shit and seething.

Francis Bless.

 

[don't ask]

lol I love you, @BoxerMaurits , but this might be the most uncontroversial poll I've seen since "would your rather fuck the lover of your dreams or a rusty blender?"

 

[jeff7b9]

Perhaps Fury didn't take him seriously. For a guy who supposedly had a 12 week training camp, he looks soft and mushy. He looked like a regular out of shape person from the audience, as opposed to a high level athlete expecting an easy night.

He was way way out of shape.

Fight camp is supposed to take an athlete from healthy active ATHLETE > to peak performance finely tuned fighting machine.

Even for a HW, a division which has had more than its fair share of guys who get fat in between fight, Fury was a big fat mess. He looked to be 300+ in one of the early press conferences when he took his shirt off.

Just wanna make sure Sherdog supports Francis decision<45>

 

[Pequeño Corey]

He's big, figuratively and literally

Very big Corey

 

[gspieler]

The gamble paid off. Good for Francis.

 

[mudrubble]

You would hope not sir but you know somebody will lol.

I had a poster tell me "sure Francis is doing good for his bank account and career, but some fighters care about legacy before that"

I pointed out to him that we haven't heard ONE fighter say "Francis is gonna be free to make his own fights and a boatload of money but it would have been better if he stayed in the UFC and cemented his little UFC legacy"

That is 100% a sherdog take. It's not that some fighters think about UFC legacy before their impact on the sport and the money they can make. It's some petty Sherdog posters.

So, yes, they will come and vote like idiots as well.

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Very big Corey

Pequeno Corey

 

[Tweak896]

I voted no. As a fan I still wanted Jones/Ngannou + winner fights the new HW division: Aspinall/Pavlovich/Almeida/etc... but it's a good money decision for Ngannou. Might get a fun fight with Wilder.

 

[StonedLemur]

Oh you can bet the shills will. Lmao

2 of them lol


Edit: now 10 lol
