Yeah, but Francis was able to throw decent punches as 270lb heavyweight and was able to take punches as well.
Exactly, he did much better

I was humiliated because the boxer beat the former MMA fighter?
Also, in case you have difficulties reading, this is the BOXING FORUM. We've built a community here where we just discuss boxing. We're not antisocial weirdos, like you, who feel the need to enter other forums to brag about split decision losses.
Great post! I agree 100%. Terrible style match-up for frank. He should try and fight a Joseph Parker, he could win that fight.Agree that Tyson is better equipped to adapt to a rematch, but...
Wilder is a bad night for Ngannou.
The problem Fury had is that he didn't present enough of a danger to command respect and get Francis to stay back and shell up. Wilder would not have that problem. Wilder has the crazy long reach too, and speed accuracy and power.
If Wilder is still anything like his prime self, he is a bad night for most boxers, Francis included.
The openings were there in Ngannous defense, Fury just didn't want to risk getting hit. Wilder would find Francis' chin and sleep him.
It would be fun, but imo that is the worst option Ngannou could pursue.
Except Ngannou LOST the fight.
I don't want to have to use "knuckle draggers" to describe the MMA fanbase, but you really have no choice.
Here are the facts:
Mercer was 0-0 in MMA when he knocked out 24-5 Tim Sylvia (In the first round, mind you). Both former champs in their respective sport.
Ngannou was 0-0 in Boxing when he LOST by split decision to 33-0-1 Tyson Fury. Both former (current) champs in their respective sport.
Ngannou's boxing record currently is 0-1. Tyson Fury's boxing record is 34-0-1.
knuckle draggers, who are also deeply antisocial, are flooding the boxing forum bragging about a split decision loss.
Why strike when even Francis saw Gane has a massive wrestling disadvantage even when he had a bum knee LOLHere's another important point: Ngannou arguably won a boxing match against Fury, while Gane outstruck Ngannou clearly when they fought.
That fight is not happening lolNah usyk vs fury is next. I'm all about francis vs wilder though
Pretty much 95% of all the pro MMA fighters but the harshest criticism came from JDS, Gilbert Burns, and Anthony Smith.
At least Sean Strickland, Stipe, Usman, Israel, and Overeem were very supportive of Francis decision before the fight. Now the fight is over, every fighter has become fairweather fan to Francis when they turned their backs before on him saying it was just going ot be another way for shit on MMA in boxing because JAke Paul was winning again overthehill fighters
Jones is quiet a subject matter expert on ducking so you may have a pointWhat Jones said is still true.
What?Chael only speaks the truth, he never said anything even remotely close to that.
Omalley didn't actually mean it, said it sarcastically.
Jon Jones was paid to say that by Hunter to hype himself up.
Dana and Cormier are being completely taken out of context and misquoted.
I don't think anyone was doubting Francis.
We all knew what was going to happen after Fury (who never took him seriously) felt the power of a Ford Escort.
Every single person the ts quoted is delusional, and their opinion holds little weight due to their lack of credibility especially Dana and JonHere are some notable people who doubted Francis’s decision:
Dana White - Said Francis is not worth the money he asked for. The UFC publicly smeared him and Dana taunted Francis saying he wouldn’t amount to anything outside of the UFC.
Daniel Cormier - Said Francis needs to “bite the bullet” and return to the UFC. Said there’s not much Francis could accomplish without the UFC and that his “choices are limited.”
Chael Sonnen - Said Francis “looked like a deer in the headlights” since leaving the UFC. Said Ngannou and his team have no idea what they’re doing. Said Francis “shot himself in the foot.”
Jon Jones - Said Ngannou left the UFC to avoid a fight with him.
Sean O’Malley - Said Ngannou “made the biggest mistake of his life leaving the UFC.”
I agree.
I think he didn't train nor watch footage. Came off the couch and canvas. Easily won on points.
If it was 12rds, I think he KOs Francis stiff. If it was him training, it doesn't escape rd1. He took Francis lightly.
The mma pods full of crying soyboys are hilarious. They thought 0-0 fighter was getting a W? <Lmaoo>
They probably think Santa is real and brli3ve in the tooth fairy.
Compubox shows Fury EASILY out pointed Francis. Power puncher had more power punches.
Francis threw and landed less then 6 punches in thr championship rd.

Francis also gassed, and performed much better than Conor from start to finish. Was competitive all the way through and even knocked Fury down. Conor looked like a joke against Floyd - a 40 year old Floyd who was retired, a former 130 pounder, who fought wiht the same urgency he would sparring one of his daughters.
