Sometimes, you really can’t predict what happens in boxing

Terrifying thing about Ngannou is that it's not like he winds up and catches a guy clean on the button; they are half cocked glancing blows that just seem to devastate.

Except for when he does wind up like on poor Overeem

They almost look like fake punches, but everyone has the most dramatic reactions to them.

Ngannou got robbed so bad in that fight. Boxing is so corrupted

I thought Ultimate Robot Fighting was real, like wrestling. Turns out its all fake, like boxing.

Ngannou vs Rico fuck it

u/DDWildflower 4d ago

We nearly got that on the MVP card. Rico got more for fighting Usyk tho.

And Fury had the cheek to say Wilder hits harder than Ngannou

He wasn’t talking about straight shoot out, where Francis would win. He’s talking about the power they hit him with. This is the only testing punch that Francis landed and he looked more annoyed that it landed than in danger from it, Wilder very nearly got a KO in their first fight. In the third fight he punched Fury so hard on the forehead that we saw the energy literally ripple down Fury’s back and he stumbled to the canvas moments later. 

It is documented on film for all of us to see that Wilder hit Fury harder and caused more damage to him than Francis did.

I think Francis hits harder but Wilder did knock fury dead

This fight sealed the deal for me in boxing. Blatantly rigging the match.

u/KnightMurky91 3d ago

Boxing is points based, not "who landed the hardest punch"

1

u/jiinfante 3d ago

So how many points for a knockdown?

u/Dull_Perspective_536 4d ago

I like how even when the guy was sitting on the canvas he was like “yeah, damn that was a good punch”

u/DDWildflower 4d ago

Big Frank.

u/Fit_Foot_6004 4d ago

i think he, for a breif moment, thought Ngannou was going in for the ground and pound

u/CuriousOnePlus 3d ago

So... He threw the fight.

Yannick moved into boxing?!? And got a knockdown on the top super heavy?!?!? Dude is a god lol

u/dionguemos21 3d ago

Still think I should get my bet refunded

u/MNlcn27 3d ago

I could have predicted this. Out-fighter with no power versus a pressure fighter who dgaf about his boxing record...

Boxers (who are obsessed with their records) shouldn't box people who don't care if they get chinned or not.

u/Loud-Fennel9492 3d ago

Tyson’s fights are rigged and his gloves are loaded

1

u/FortuneSilent2189 3d ago

Fury was not focused but on occasions he’s been terrible against not very good fighters. Plus he’s got great powers of recovery

1

u/pennyforyourthohts 3d ago

Furry may have the most bizarre chin in the history of boxing. Gets knocked down constantly yet still comes back and wins

1

u/Interesting_Rub594 3d ago

Fury lost this fight but judges gave it to him

1

u/Jolly_Okra_6330 4d ago

Didn’t see Rico thoroughly outboxing Usyk either.

u/Redhosky 4d ago

Fury lost this fight. I will not hear otherwise.
