So fury won and the stats show he probably should have

It's a wank perdormance but he's only been outpunched in 2 rounds

The result is probably fair , but just , fury can't fight like that against usyk View attachment 32231

He "won". Take away the narrative of "it's an MMA fighter's first boxing match" and it's 2 normal boxers Fury just won in a very scrappy performance.

Only seen highlights. Would’ve served Fury right if he’d got beaten. He’s an average fighter if he’s not properly prepared and heads not right…see the Wallen fight. lts why I’ve never ruled out AJ or other inferior fighters sparking him out

Fury looked overweight even by his standards tbf. He’ll need to (and I’m sure will) prepare properly for Usyk. I’d say December looks optimistic though.

Fury is a joke. A rich one however

Would be shocked if it’s Dec after that. Saying that maybe he considers he’s halfway through a camp and it’s been based around being ready for that rather than last night

Fury looked poor

Fury looked poor

absolutely. Underprepared - looked more tired than Ngannou in the later rounds which no-one expected . Couldn't physically bully Ngannou like he does most opponents and his normal reach advantage wasn't there. Timing was way off from the start and as a result threw a lot less punches than he would normally do. And the knockdown had him overly cautious in the later rounds.

 

[CCFCSteve]

Typical of fury and his team ! Gotta love Usyk though…rolling around like he’d be punched in the bollocks by Dubois aside

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Fury won the fight, knockdown aside Fury did just enough in most of the rounds to get the decision. Didn't think it was as controversial as I was expecting

Ngannou probably won 2 rounds outside the third round, 3 rounds if your being generous.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Surely the quality of the punch should be taken into account?

Other than the knockdown punch did ngannou throw any other punches of serious quality?

Maybe in the 7th or 8th round but that still only two rounds.

The problem really comes when commentators for a whole 10 rounds fill viewers heads with the idea that fury was losing the fight .. stats show he done just enough but people's minds already made up .. it's a fix in their heads now

Watched the fight again, Fury deffo won....

Aged overnight like Josh Taylor....or just far too much cocaine use.

I think Taylor was struggling at the weight for a while, should’ve moved up. Reckon with fury he was just unprepared/unfocused. I’m saying that as not a huge fan although appreciate he’s probably best of the lot

Shit fight, the real loosers are the poor bustards who paid to watch the shite.
Boxing is turning into the wwf and Saudi money is at the route of it.

Been fixed for years. Joe Cortez stopping Hatton fighting on the inside against Mayweather was the beginning of the end for me.

One of those things where a narrative overtakes the reality. The fairytale of a "legend" from a different sport fighting the heavyweight champion in his first fight.
I watched US coverage and it was all about Ngannou even before the fight started. They were willing him across the line, saying he looked like the boxer not Fury etc. May be Americans haven't forgiven Fury for destroying Wilder.

 

[Adge]

It may have been a case of we were all hoodwinked and surprised how easy a victory it would be for Fury. That may have clouded some people’s judgement that Fury didn’t win the fight-in my opinion he did, but only just!

As someone who doesn't really following boxing I just saw the thread title and thought "Wow, that's quite a career change Johnny has had since he left us!"
