It's not overly surprising, it's a corrupt business - not a sport

This guy was out of the ring for 600 plus days

Bullshit draw incoming

Aye looks like it

Was Fury paid more and had to win if gone to points?

[gallsman]

Point either way a fair card for me.

Wise up ffs. Ngannou did rightly, and far surpassed expectations, but people are getting on as if he was a clear cut winner who beat Fury from pillar to post

When fury trains and is in the mood he is unstoppable but his form can be all over the place. He struggled big time against that wallin bloke not too long ago. The disappointing thing is there was about 5 top heavy weights over the last few years but the lot of them seem to be past their peak with hardly any fights between them

[Milltown Row2]

It's not that your man was amazing but Tyson was rubbish and his style confused Tyson..

But you're man will make serious doh

Fury very subdued after that in comparison to how he normally is in interviews after fights. Poor performance taking all things into consideration. I don't think he done a proper 12 week camp for that fight and underestimated him completely.

I did think Fury was behind going into the last few rounds and needed at least a knockdown. Sometimes if the underdog does better than expected it clouds the judgement of how the fight is going.

Ngannou seems a class act. I'd watch him fight again. Didn't know anything about him before this fight.

Neither of them did much of anything except the knockdown there's no way Fury won that!

[bennydorano]

Ngannou a clear winner imo, probably written in his contract to get a huge bonus and play dumb if such a situation arose. He seemed to take the result surprisingly well.

[gallsman]

I gave Ngannou 2,3 with a knockdown,5 and 8.

Fury gets 1, 4, 6,7,9 and 10.

Score any Fury round differently (perfectly conceivable) and Ngannou wins. Equally score an Ngannou round for Fury and it's a bigger winning margin.

That's how boxing works. Close fight. No robbery. No scandal tonight.

Pillar to post? Settle the head lad. Ngannou won that fight. I'll side with Frampton on this one.

What would Usyk do to him, he's avoiding him with good reason.

[Wildweasel74]

Only thing coming outta this, is I always thought Mike Tyson would  made a great trainer as he had great boxing knowledge.
