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

[jackleeb]

We are all clowns.
Every fight analyst, Sherbro Expert or Pro Fighter, is full of absolute shit.
No one knows what will happen in a combat sport...

Which underdog is next?

 

[HuskySamoan]

That should have been a point deduction.

Honestly it might have been the heaviest shot Fury landed all night. A point deduction would have been fair but the ref and commentators didn't see it in real time, does boxing allow for retroactive ref calls while fighters are in their corners and they see the footage between rounds?

First off dont compare Francis to connor,
matter of fact naw i wont do that. Connor was legit, ill give him that,
and ill be lying to say I dont get excited watching him fight. but Francis is a UNIT.

 

[Sir Punchalot]

I was impressed, he looked better than I expected. Not very impressive technically, but overall slightly better schooled and less awkward and unconventional than I expected. Reflexes are still there even at 37, and his punching power, punch resistance and strength = obviously also great. With better stamina he would have outscored Fury, who looked like complete garbage and fought like a moron most of the night. Maybe his stamina will improve when he gets some routine and learns to relax more, but he was actually doing that better than Fury tonight, I think. Fury was the one wasting energy. Frank is carrying a bit too much muscle mass to be able to fight hard for 10-12 rounds, and the only way to deal with that is take off some weight. Not sure if he's going to want to do that. And he's obviously never going to be a great boxer, but this is 2023 and the talent pool has not at any point in my lifetime been shallower, so it's not like he has to be some kind of wizard to compete. Don't bet your house on him against anyone in the top ten regardless of how close he came to winning tonight, though (and he did come fairly close).

Mods have ruined this forum. WTF else is there to talk about? I’m not reading one long thread on the topic.

They want us to go to the dead baxing section where all the baxing weirdos hangout

 

[Paul E Gensinger]

Dana fumbled the bag. Holy shit. Holy shit. Francis went to a SD against the greatest HW of this era. Dana fumbled this shit so hard for the UFC.

And Ngannou won.
I swear terrible decision.

 

[JonnyBonesPharmacist]

Croxing


Crock of Shit
Boxing

 

[Poirierfan]

They fucked up. Shoulda let him box for a fight in his new contract. Imagine the bragging rights the UFC would have right now touting their HW champ who knocked down Tyson Fury and almost win the fight.

He did win imo. Lol

 

[krelianx]

Francis blew his load in the 7th and was barely moving in the 8th and 9th.

Im no fan of fury or boxing but he literally let Francis recover.

And Fury was tentative to initiate offense because of of the knockdown.

You don't "let" someone recover to lose rounds and go to a split decision.

 

[FrankNStein]

On the record books can't be erased Big Frank lost

Also can’t be erased that the best HW boxer in the world only managed a split against a guy making his boxing debut, in a situation where Ngannou had to KO to win with the Usyk fight already scheduled in the same location.

 

[Mr. Fixit]

Never forget. McGregor vs. mayweather is the only reason fury vs. ngannou even happened.

Without that precedent none of this happens.

This was the precedent

 

[Gluhov]

Which moment my brother? Here the one of the knocked down

Litrully the only highlight. The rest of the fight was a sparring match that fury won.

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

I don't understand. You think Condit won?

 

[Fact Checker]

What does Sean Strickland beating Izzy have to do with Ngannou losing an exhibition boxing match?

 

[Tyr XIII]

He did, but Floyd is a higher mountain to climb

I don’t know if I agree with this I have to think about it

 

[thegame2013]

Vindicated Mma no, u still got that ass clown Jake Paul beating MMA guys.

Francis wanted to be a boxer his entire life spent the last two years focusing on it. Francis does not belong to MMA anymore. He is no longer a MMA fighter. He's a boxer.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Also can’t be erased that the best HW boxer in the world only managed a split against a guy making his boing debut.

Francis L'Gannou

 

[jeff7b9]

Not necessarily true.

Wilder is an established elite BOXER and landed cleaner punches, as you would expect given that boxing is his sport.

We didn't see Tyson eat the best shot either of those men have to offer imo.

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

And Ngannou ate it like a baby jab. Wilder/Joshua would've get knocked down

Good thing fury doesn't have the fight ending sharp elbows of Kenny Florian, or of a Boise dime

 

[jackleeb]

What does Sean Strickland beating Izzy have to do with Ngannou losing an exhibition boxing match?

Many people thought Ngannou won. Lots of people still in disbelief that Sean beat Izzy convincingly
