Tyson Fury v Francis Ngannou

[Kirkland Laing]

I was watching the fight with South African rugby celebrating people after watching the rugby and was too fucked up to really get a handle on the fight and so was everybody else but the general consensus was that Fury lost. I told them it would be a Fury SD and lo and behold. Fury gets to fight Usyk and the winner fights Ngannou who put himself in the picture for big paydays tonight and will be happy enough with that.

Giants age worse than others, could be furys age is getting to him hard to keep that massive body moving.


There's some other boxing on tonight too, not sure who but the Aussie from bluey town justis huni just won.

Hernandez v Foster is getting pretty wild in the 11th, the Mexican was dead now is tiredly clubbing the American.


Bafana bafana were a bit fortunate to beat the kiwis but the kiwis did give away all those penalties and couldn't score 14 v 14 either, and they had a couple of 14v14 spells, kiwis had the better statistics with meters gained and so on before the red card but still they were 9-3 down... So wot ever.

Ref stops it after foster knocks him down twice in the 13th and is then clubbing him to death, pretty good stuff, it was looking pretty good for the Mexican and foster kept getting better as it went on.

That was an absolutely awesome finish. Top list for round of year the 11th. What a total contrast for a fight night. Foster calls his own shot, travels to hostile territory as a legit champ and pulls off a classic come from behind KO in a thriller. But largely gets zero mention. It seems to happen with more than a few Dazn cards and not sure why. Thanks for the heads up on what sound like a legit classic bud.

oshaquie came back to score a twelft round knockout when the ref jumped in to stop it. oshaquie was well behind. round eleven was amazing

A 37 year old MMA fighter who hasn't fought in 2 years, has 0 boxing bouts, had only 12 weeks to prepare fighting against a man who had all the advantages including a 24 ft ring yet knocked down and went life and death with the supposed greatest HW of this generation ?



And all this in front of the Undertaker and Vince McMahon. Is the rematch gone be a "hell in a cell" match ?

If only at the end, Francis snatched the mic and hit them with “and this is your king….?” . Shout out to Mike Tyson - He did an amazing job for the short amount of time he trained Francis. He cleaned up his previous boxing mechanics

All these dudes who had Fury's balls in their mouth and crowned him as some ATG god because he defeated an undersized, skill-less Alabama football player who took up boxing as an adult, a couple times (and was DROPPED and nearly KOed multiple times in the process). Where you at ?

And I want to say something else

THIS



First Francis ate that shyt. Dude ain’t even flinch. Second I'm shocked #elbowgate has not gotten more attention, If Francis didn't have a cement block head it would have been much more noticeable. Imagine the uproar had Mayweather launched a dirty shot like that back in the day?

Fury seems to think he think can "Kronk" anyone just coz he's spent time at the gym. You ain't no puncher Tyson. Running and octopus grabbing your opponent to death is the name of Tyson's game and Dr Egghead was unable to do that against an MMA fighter because of their vastly superior physical strength. Francis easily out clinched the best clincher in the HW division.

Someone should have told Tyson that Ngannou wrestles 250-300lb grizzly bears over in the UFC.

Belly should've just inflated his plums to man size and fought Usyk for the undisputed instead but now he's embarrassed himself and the sport of boxing royally. The sport of boxing is a complete laughing stock and the MMA guys are laughing long and loud at it and us.

And getting back to Dana White. Francis wanted to sign a new contract that gave him the freedom to go have one boxing match, and it was gonna be with Fury. Dana didn't want to do it (Something he did for Conor when he wanted to fight Mayweather) and ended up releasing Francis since he wouldn't sign without a clause.

Dana started doing his usual bullshyt, saying that Francis (a man that took a year long trip from Cameroon to France, surviving the desert, homelessness, and jail) was scared of Jon Jones and thought he was bigger than he was. So Francis stepped off the plantation and massa ain't digging it.

Francis silenced Dana, not only has he had a big fight and paid 10 mill but he wasn't embarrassed like Dana thought he would be and won it in many people's eyes. Dana is a control freak who uses intimidation tactics and strong-arm contracts to keep dudes in their place and not know their value

As to who I thought won the fight ? In all seriousness. It was a close fight that could have gone either way but there was no way Francis was going to get that win unless he knocked Fury's head off.

But Tyson fury's legacy will forever be tarnished. Don't care if he knocks Francis out in the rematch. To the surprise of no-one the December Usyk fight is off. The Saudis have so much money so the rematch will probably happen... Culturally they don't care about the sport, its just Nero's circus to them

South Africa are still not the best rugby team in the world. I don't care if they are bk to bk rugby world champs. France, Ireland and New Zealand alongside South Africa are the best. None of them are head and shoulders above each other. Each of them could beat each other on any given day. South Africa's QF, SF and Final wins were all by a one point margin.

Incredible really.

How France didn't beat South Africa in the quarter-final I'll never know. New Zealand had a man sent off in the final which helped S.Africa and England in the semi-final were 15-6 up with 9 mins to go. In an 80-minute game England were ahead for 77 mins. But you have to give South Africa massive credit for being able to win tight matches. But let's not act like South Africa are a great team that's separated themselves from the pack.
