The copecelling by the boxing community is getting sad, resorting to truth distortions

[AndrewGolota48]

I've heard it repeated several times now that Fury came into the Ngannou fight grossly overweight, showing that he was unprepared, acting like it was atypical....but it's how much he weighed in the last couple Wilder fights, when he wanted more power to fight aggressively and get Wilder out of there. And that strategy is EXACTLY what he said he planned to do vs Ngannou, and how he started the fight, until he felt what he was up against and got shook beyond belief.

Yeah well. Boxing fans on the whole are massive babies so whatchgonnado?

 

[IncreaseDanaPay]

He didn’t look like he normally does. He looked off, he clearly overlooked Francis and didn’t take the fight seriously.

[kingghidrah]

It's true, but it's nothing compared to the MMA community rationalizing all the losses to YouTubers and TikTokkers

 

[Will the thrill]

What I’ve been thinking lately is, had the situation been reversed and fury fought an mma match with Francis, would he have fared as well as Francis did in the ring??

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

There is some pretty enjoyable damage control going on.

"Fury wasnt prepared"

"Fury isnt even top 10 really"

"Yeah well it can only happen at HW"

"Ngannou was a boxer anyway, he just conquered MMA first"

"this is just as embarrassing for MMA...for err...reasons"

Jake Paul fans want to troll MMA fans. MMA fans want to troll boxing fans. Time is a flat circle.

No way Fury had any idea Ngannou was gonna be that capable, but thats not a knock on Ngannou thats a knock on Fury.

Dude thought he was getting an easy payday but Big Frank isn't one to roll over for nobody.

I'm a huge boxing fan and I love it, what a fucking crazy story for Ngannou, dude will have a bio flick someday

 

[nostradumbass]

It was the heaviest he's ever been for a fight, and of course it's atypical. He was over 30 lbs less when he fought Klitschko, almost 15 lbs less for his last fight, and was 5 lbs smaller in his first fight back after his depression and 3 year drinking binge where he ballooned up to 400 lbs. He was over 270 in his last fight with Willder, though not all fat, and he got dropped twice there too. That probably isn't why he looked bad though as much as not having any tape or any idea what to prepare for

Boxing still isn't a real sport though, and a 37 year old guy coming off an injury can just show up and have a close fight with a world champ in his first fight.

I love how easy this is to say.

"Off".

It's vague, stupid, and you don't need any proof to claim it. But once you ask, off how? Did he look slower? Was his weight/body worse than he looked before? Did his skill level decrease? Did his gas tank look suspect?

No. No. He was 277 in his third Wilder fight. No. Ngannou hit him with numerous body shots yet Fury was still fresh in the 10th round, and even won that round BECAUSE of his gas tank, firing off a bunch of pitter patter shots to outpoint Ngannou.

 

[David Street]

UFC makes stars then kicks them out if they want more money, want to try something else or looking old. I thought with the merger with WWE they can keep these stars making money for them in WWE.

This shows me that combat sports have strong opinions and TKO needs to buy a top boxing promotion and a bare knuckle and a Kickboxing/Muay Thai Promotions keep these stars making money for TKO. No more fools like Dana turning their back if they want to box or....

The current line I keep seeing is the old "You have to BEAT the champ" as a means to cope.

I think it's the big gloves thing working in favour of Ngganou. MMA sparring gloves are 8 ounces, let alone 4 ounce mma gloves. Getting punched with boxing gloves is a dream.

WHen you have to argue that Fury outboxed him because he landed more punches and you are arguing that 1-3 extra punches are enough with the power disparity. That's the only argument for Fury winning that fight and it's a weak one.

Meh if Francis won, they would of just rematched anyway and this dodgy decision has probably killed HW boxing.

 

[humdizzle]

I think when most people watch it back round by round on mute they will score it for Fury.

Still an L for boxing. It would be the equivalent of canelo coming over to fight prime usman and scoring a takedown with back control threatening subs.
