lol was webb the head judge ?

I don't need to watch it back I saw with my own eyes what happened.

Get out of Fury's arse

A lot hangs on if judges score jabs and give them value. Same with big swings that hit gloves. One ref sees a good punch another doesn't.

I missed the early rounds but the latter ones could have gone either way. Fury doing very little to suggest he was the 'real' boxer.

No. I want you to tell me which rounds you scored to each boxer. Then we can go through them. I get it. When you watch the fight there’s easily an argument for Ngannu to be the better man on the night. But that’s not how it works. It’s round by round.

Rounds 9 and 10. How do you have them?

Edit. Saw your comment to another poster. I’m not a Fury fan tbh. Taken a fairly easy route to the top but why not from his pov. Usyk is a far superior boxer and only the size different would prevent him winning which he still may and I hope he does

Not gunna argue about rounds now everybody scores things differently, imo tho Ngannou won lol

I hope and pray Usyk wins I've always fancied him & hopefully tonight has given him more confidence to do so.

Let's not forget tho Usyk was lucky against Dubois.

I'd love Ngannou to fight a Wilder or Joshua.

I’m a little bemused by how many people are calling this decision a disgrace. Scoring it round by round Fury won 7 at least and then with the knock down it takes it to a 96-95 decision.

Hats off to Ngannu though without doubt but don’t think this was a bent decision by any stretch

come on man be serious, fury was like milk body bag , plus knock out and deduct point for elbow .

Interesting thought process.

I see it differently. I've watched Ngannou's evolvement from the time he stepped into the octagon. he's never complained during a dodgy decision. You see it build up gradually and turn into resentment. When he did that under the UFC, it was like he was plotting his way out. Now, he's under the PFL where he's organised this fight under his own management.

For me, as I've seen him do before, he's fought his demons/ doubts and knows he's roughly at the level he wants to be.

For me, he'll never be the best boxer of all time as it's not in his wheelhouse, this late in the fighting game, but his IQ is such that makes the adjustments he needs to pass the hurdle he's facing. That's why he's not mad or kicking off.

From now, there's only super cross fights for him with the biggest names and punchers. But he may just stay with boxing, but won't be starting at the bottom.

Mistake or not.

Fair enough then if that's his nature / character. I don't watch MMA so it's the first I've seen of him tonight.

He was a far better boxer than I thought he would be. He didn't gas like I thought he would (although he didn't swing as much as I thought he would). Perhaps I was too reliant on what all the pundits said about him and how he was going to be.


I still maintain that something wasn't right after the final bell though. There wasn't much emotion from either fighter. You'd usually get them both trying to claim victory, neither did. It was very much like they knew what was going to happen.

I had that 95-94 to Fury

Fury had a bad night but Francis was surprisingly good considering.

FN with the moral victory.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Maybe so, but everyone can’t get enough of it.

It's pure bollocks.

Glad I didn't pay a penny.

Fury lost that fight.

Fury was slow and awkward. Just awful.

Lennox has that wrong, I am afraid.

With no belt on the line for Fury, what else was there to be mad at? Ngannou with the moral victory and Fury with the relief of getting the judges decision.

This whole thing started out as an 'exhibition fight' where nobody was set on the type of rule they'd be fighting under!

It was ugly and Fury boxed cautious but as a boxing match round by round I think Fury won tbf
