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

[Paul E Gensinger]

I believe the fight with Fury wouldn't have materialized as smoothly if he were part of the UFC, even not at all.

Dana has encountered significant opposition and resistance from powerful figures within the boxing world. Once Francis Ngannou expressed his desire to cross over to boxing, Dana's statements likely triggered strong reactions from influential boxing figures, and they may have worked tirelessly to ensure this fight came to fruition with Fury's participation.

It's plausible to assume that the UFC's attempts and bullying to pressure and coerce Ngannou had a role in Fury's decision to wanting to make that fight happen. Ngannou didn't possess the same level of influence and reach of a Conor. Under the UFC banner, it's questionable whether this fight would have come to fruition.

As the plan unfolded, it does cast some doubts on the UFC's claims of being the best career choice for fighters. This situation has shed light on the fact that the UFC's approach may not always align with the best interests of their athletes in terms of career opportunities and financial gain. A win for the boxing world against Dana.

Well, I always thought Fury was doing Francis a favor. As in, you're the best in the world in your sport, you deserve to get paid like it.
So he hooked him up to make millions.
And what does Fury get in return for being such a nice guy?
His ass beat.

No clue. I don't watch boxing lol. Only bkfc

BKFC is the bomb.

 

[franquito]

Doesn't have the Super Hluk or the BMF belts, so no

 

[Vairloff]

not in power punches/significant punches. Fury only outlanded Ngannou in only two rounds in power punches/significant punches LOL

You know its not a MMA fight?
Mayby in box the score diffrently.

 

[Joshuaace]

And 71-59 overall and a higher accuracy percentage. People keep saying Francis was robbed but dont seem to understand how scoring works lol at all.

So tells us how it works. Point us MMA Fans to the Unified Boxing Rules, and how they favor quantity over quality.

 

[Yellowcrab]

Lol about O'Malley, he will get his fight against Haney now, especially after what happened.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Putting my old speed bag back up right now

 

[The XL]

Ngannous power punchers count for a lot more than Fury's do too.

 

[no fat chicks]

Fury should have lost a point for that elbow

 

[Krimzon]

if number of punches landed is what's most important, then boxing should stop dilly dallying and just use the computer instead of assigning 3 geezers to count punches.

 

[Bushwhacker B]

Top Rank has some good up-and-comers: Tiger Johnson, Zayas, Big Baby, Carrington, Lindolfo Delgado.

Stars like Fury, Inoue, Beterbiev, Loma, Teofimo Lopez

On the other hand, they also have clowns like Nico Ali Walsh and (formerly) Berlanga

 

[Barteh]

And 71-59 overall and a higher accuracy percentage. People keep saying Francis was robbed but dont seem to understand how scoring works lol at all.

I actually don't know shit about boxing rules. Do they really count the number of punches landed and if there was no knockdown the fighter who landed more automatically gets the nod for that round? That sounds kind of odd.

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

he swept him. I never bought the BS Gane was going for leg locks.

(8:27-8:37)

Dewey Cooper, who was in Ngannou's corner for both the Gane & Fury fights, says in this video ^ it was a leg lock attempt by Gane not a sweep by Ngannou.

The Hel?

I remember scoring the fight like 49-46 Francis without it being very close.

Good fight but it was clearly Franks'.

Saying the fight was not very close is objectively wrong.

The outcome was literally decided by a change of position that occurred in the last two minutes of the fight

Francis clearly won 48-47. If you scored it any other way you're dogshit at scoring fights and should stop trying

Francis also has 1 leg that fight LOL

The fight was tied 2-2 going into the fifth round. In the fifth round Gane took Ngannou down and was credited with two submission attempts before losing position off a failed submission attempt. Despite spending the final half of the fifth round being controlled on bottom Gane actually still out landed Ngannou in terms of significant strikes because Ngannou did absolutely nothing with the dominant position Gane handed to him.

Acting as though theres no way to conceivably award Gane the fifth round is clownish.

 

[checktheknuckles]

Conor was never a legit boxer. Ngannou was always legit.

 

[Jeffy37]

Francis wasn’t the aggressor and he never rocked fury but once.

I hope you are trolling

 

[Van Daz]

Do we now consider Francis Ngannou the Lineal Boxing Heavyweight Champion of the World AND Lineal Heavyweight MMA Champion of the world?

And if we do…

Is he now the greatest combat sport athlete of all time?

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Conor won the first round. Ngannou obviously did better overall.

That punch was actually thrown at the shoulder of McGregor to weaken the uppercut...Floyd changed direction of the shot mid way through to weaken the uppercut cuz he knew he over committed to the lead straight... U can see it in the GIF just follow mayweathers punch... Had he not done this maybe McGregor would of actually dropped him with that shot ...

Mayweather was playing with Conor...

 

[CombatCyborg]

Dunno why power punches are counted in boxing when all that matters is who taps who more times.

 

[fica]

if big head on berry bonds was a think for ped use they should have tested francis as well
