    Had Ngannou winning rounds 1-4 with a 10-8, then also the 7th. Even if you gave Fury the other 5 rounds he still loses, joke of a decision !!

    They can’t let Ngannou win when Usyk is ringside and they have been promoting that fight already.

    Boxing is essentially one big reality tv show. 80% scripted.

    Everyone terrified to argue the decision because of where they are and being paid by.

    On that performance, Usyk will wipe the floor with Fury.

    Just seems a money making machine if you play the game tbh, boxing happens to be the excuse to generate it. Not a “ sport “ anymore, similar to yank pantomime wrestling.

    Don’t know why people bother with this sport. Most corrupt sport going.

    At that point he was winning though.

    But Fury embarrassed himself and boxing tonight.

    Ngannou took that serious, with that in mind, if he wanted to step into the heavyweight boxing scene... I'm thinking he could be a trouble maker.

    He might not have looked that agile and light footed as something that Fury gets labeled as for guys their size, but his ability to immediately snap shots back at Fury anytime Fury tried unleashing, was serious talent.

    A disgrace. Fury made a * of that and got away with one.

    He's been paid a * fortune to go to Saudi for a glorified exhibition the Saudis have paid everyone and anyone to attend Usyk is sitting ringside to promote that fight which has already been pencilled in. Not a chance were they ever allowing Ngannou to get a decision as it would make a mockery of the sport of boxing and absolutely devalue the fight already agreed in Saudi against Usyk.
