Corrupt as. Ngannou clearly the winner. Did fury land a decent punch at all
Not wrongQuote:

Other than the knockdown what did Ngannou do? So that's one round.
Other than that he was out boxed. Aye, completely expected but come on
No chance Fury by one round. Much cleaner. Bizarre people saying it was a robbery. Also that Hardy the MMA guy hasn't got a clue and Frampton is generally wrong.Quote:

I agree with above December isn't happening, pain in the arse
Did you not have Ngannou ahead or drawing going into the 9th,how was it much cleaner?Quote:

Hopefully the silver lining will be that the fury family along with that idiotic father go into hiding for a few months,unbearable people
Nah Tyson will be doing more netflix shows rather than training and his brother will fight some youtuber. Boxing is a circus and the Saudis help run the showQuote:

He needs to fight more, almost a year since his last fight, these things catch up with older fighters, can't see the usyk fight happening this year
I remember the first Lewis v Rahman fight when there were stories Lewis wasn't training properly, wasn't taking it seriously and whatever. He was pissing about in Vegas filming a cameo in Oceans Eleven and was pictured drinking with Beyonce 4 weeks out. He didn't arrive in South Africa until late on and had no time to acclimatise to the altitude and he was visibly out of shape (by his standards). He duly got knocked out.
In the rematch he trained properly, took the fight seriously and it was a massacre. He was all over Rahman and the KO was brutal.
Even elite fighters need to train. Fury is always a big lad but he's usually fit as a fiddle, last night you could see he was heavy breathing after about 3 rounds. No way he pitches up in that sort of shape for the Usyk fight if it goes ahead. I don't think last night tells us anything in that regard.
More recently I thought Fury looked unbeatable. Saturday blew that theory out of the window. I thought he was beaten fair and square by somebody who had little or no experience of that kind of challenge. People are saying Fury was unfit? If he fights that opponent again he'll get beaten. Boxing has always been corrupt, even more so now. Give it a couple of months and Fury will be back to his usual bragging, but I'd be quite surprised if most people by into it again.
Not my view don't think Fury done anything and Ngannou had him struggling late on as well as knocking him down but these things happen.Quote:

Fury was shocking though so could have no complaints if he lost. He was blowing out his arse in round 3. Telling that Frank Warren says 8 weeks isn't a long enough camp for an undisputed. No wonder as the waster is out of shape and only interested in netflix millions
Fast Eddie and Frank Warren sharing the stage. Who’d have thunk it!
Just watching the press conference now.Quote:

To have Wilder, AJ, Parker, Dubois, Bivol, Opetaia all on the same card in different fights is a great night of entertainment.

Fury v Usyk confirmed 17th Feb Saudi Arabia
winner will become first Undisputed Heavyweight champion since 1999
Fury will win but i wouldn't be too disappointed if Usyk knocks him out :)
A few decent fights scheduled for tonight. Adam Aziz stepping up to European level is an interesting prospect. He’s fighting a Frenchman I think so it probably won’t go many rounds.
Thought he was very impressive. In control throughout and those body shots are nasty.Quote:

I think you might be wrong. Usyk will be in prime condition and will have trained like a beast. Who knows what state Fury will be in, but he was shockingly bad v N'Gannou. Usyk will hurt him if he's not at his very best. There comes a time when treating your body as badly as Fury does will eventually catch up on you.Quote:

Katie Taylor being very clever with her head. Easily 4 times she’s smashed Cameron.
Lovely hearing Jamie Moore complaining about a fighter holding, I've got Taylor a fair few up here
She misses so much though, Cameron far more productive in terms of punches landing surely. Would love to see the %.Quote:

Total punches landed at the end was 89 to 83 in Taylors favourQuote:
