Does anyone think that Fury was shit on purpose to make Usyk underestimate him?

It would be such a Fury thing to do and like Randall said, were they really going to have Fury lose on points under any circumstances?

[Randall]

I had typed out a round be round score but then my phone logged me out so I clearly got the math wrong
I think 3 and 8 were clearly Francis, I think I have him 1 more and the last even with the rest fury
Whatever that adds up to

[HalloweenJack]

I had it 96-95 fury as I gave the last round even
Furys jab won the middle rounds
Big rounds in 3 and 8 for Francis
It was so ugly with so much holding and posturing that the cards can be understood
With so much stacked on the usyk fight fury was never going to be allowed to lose

If you only have the last round even, then a 96-95 scorecard is mathmatetically impossible.

Remember round 3 was 10-8 Ngannou with the knockdown.

If you scored 4 rounds to Ngannou, 5 for Fury, and the 10th even, then like HJ you scored it a draw.

more bullshit

Why hasn’t Senna put his scorecard ? He falsified one to try to claim I said it was a draw, yet won’t even say who he actually thought won the fight?

My own opinion is Fury grossly overestimated Ngannou and trained accordingly. What was evident was how strong Ngannou was and Fury couldn’t maul and bully him, he had to revert to jabbing on the outside and picking up the points. Against Usyk he will be able to use his strength to better effect.
As bad as Fury was, he won at least 6 rounds for me. I gave the 10pm a draw which could have been given either way. Ngannou for me won the 3rd (10-8) the 7th and 8th.

[Randall]

Fury won the fight purely with his jab in a lot of round
He only clearly lost 2 rounds 3 and 8 1 2 and 7 could have gone either way
10 literally nothing happened

[Randall]

In terms of matching up with usyk I think usyk fights at higher tempo, is better technically with a bigger engine
Fury being so big may cancel all that out.

There is an element of that too from Fury but you should never underestimate your opponent in any fight

Ngannou did himself proud, though

And I can’t remember the name of the Irish geezer that was on the panel with Lennox Lewis and Laura Woods but he said that Ngannou won in his opinion

[Randall]

If you saw Francis edging the nothing round ie 1,2 and 10 maybe but not for me.

Probably so.

Usyk defends well on the inside though.

Fury has been slowing for a while now. But fighting the ghost of Del Boy and the overrated Whyte has covered that up. I can easily see Usyk's speed giving him issues on the outside; constantly turning him, etc.

[HalloweenJack]

Some very dubious scoring in the Joe Cordina fight.

I scored it a draw.

The 116-112 scores were generous to Cordina imo.

[shenmue]

7-5 to the foreigner or a draw.

Srate of ruddock

Joshua and wilder will fight on the same bill next month but not each other
What a joke the division is

TBF the proposed card on Dec 23d is good.

It's clearly not the fights the division needs

Maybe they could add the rematch between James ‘lights out’ Toney v Donovan’Razor’ Ruddock on the bill ?
