About half as much as the judge with the 96-93 scorecard.

Quite clear there was something wrong with Fury, wasn’t himself at all during the fight or after the fight. I don’t think Fury will be embarrassed, more the pundits, media and fans who wrote this fight and Ngannou off claiming they know the fight game
He will still dominate Usyk.
Isn't this same excuse Wlad fans claim for his loss to Fury.... "something was off!"
Six million is what was mentioned on commentary
This here is the crux of it. The paymasters need him to fight Usyk

What was 'off' was he realised he couldn't lean on Francis because N'gannou is too damn strong. Fury had to rely on his powder fists and he couldn't figure out what to do
So the open session was sand-bagging at its finest then!
Yep, most unconvincing face-off ever. Even Warren wasn’t having itFury's face, he clearly knows he got lucky and is spooked, his mind ain't in the usyk fight even with the face off
There's a lotttt more money in the farcical world of boxing. Francis is never going back and MMA can no longer afford him after that performance.
Presuming Fury/Usky is part of the "Riyadh Season"? Couldn't have a shadow being cast over that, could we?
Frank was desperately trying to remind him to limp his way backstage so they can claim he fecked up his ankle during the knock-down.Yep, most unconvincing face-off ever. Even Warren wasn’t having it

Literally won 7 of 10 rounds on most scorecards and won by 3 because of the 10-8 but you know better.
Fury looking so subdued in 'victory' tells its own story.
I'd hate to get stuck behind Arum at a Tesco self-service
They always say that the challenger will never win on points, you have to BEAT the champion. Surely when it’s the guys first ever boxing fight and you’re heavyweight champion, it should work the same way.
Think it was quite obvious something was up with him which is quite easy to believe considering his mental health issues. Nothing like his usual self during that fight or after the fight.
I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t still beat Usyk and find it funny that casuals are turning up here to claim Usyk will smash him. This is the same Usyk that should have likely lost to Dubois let’s not forget. It’ll be absolutely nothing like this fight, the size difference will be absolutely huge against Usyk. All comes down to Fury mentally.
Sand-bagging, sports-washing pantomime pre-determined farcical bullshit. Everyone there for the big bag
Ok you're just a muppet, blocked you are. Bye muppet.
Biggest problem he has now is no chance of another warm up fight before Usyk.
That will be the difference in my opinion. Always thought he would beat Usyk right now but not as rusty as he looks.

he didn’t win 7 rounds in that fight. The Canadian judge had the fight spot on, he made sure each fighter got one of the closer rounds because there were too many that were closer to a draw than anything else.
Carl Frampton and Dan Hardy gave it to N'Gannou
Oh no. Anything but a block! Please sir, I can change!
Is there a sport with less integrity than boxing?
He won 3 (10-8) 7 (very well and 8 close) or maybe it was 6 and 7. He's have won the fight if he had won 9 and 10. Theres an argument for Fury by 1 if you give Francis 10.
I was literally cheering Francis on for what its worth. He fought well and Tyson was scared but he didn't win enough rounds. People get swept up overating the underdog. I think Ngannou got the moral victory for lack of a better description, but Tyson the more points.
Whatever he does against Usyk, doesn't change the fact that he got dropped and schooled in front of the whole world by an amateur with zero pro boxing bouts, and had to win by daylight robbery.
What an utter, absolute disgrace.
Are the stats about anywhere?
I meant how poor N'Gannou looked then compared to how downright good he was tonight. Head movement; footwork; first step explosiveness; outright speed; not biting on feints; counter-striking, just wow.
Really this should be huge news in boxing circles and in the HW division itself. There'll be a lot of ducking* unless the bag is stupendous, I would say!
If you repeat it long enough, folks may actually start to believe itHonestly, i don't understand anyone saying Fury won, he barely hit anything, and nothing significant.
ngannou def deserved that
We've seen plenty of robberies in boxing lads but that wasn't one of them.
Not only that, but Francis only debuted in combat sports in 2013
The man is just built different.Why?
Hard to say no. I used to score every fight I watched but after Canelo GGG 1 I've stopped. It's a waste of time. Learnt to just watch the fights for what they are and don't get too invested.
you know feck all.
Let's be honest there was no way they were going to put the unification bout in jeopardy.
Fury, the WBC heavyweight champion of the world, landed 71 of the 223 punches he threw. Ngannou, a 0-0 novice, landed 59 of 231. But after the ten rounds, Ngannou had landed 5 more power punches than Fury, not to mention delivered the only knockdown blow of the fight.
Indeed, no matter who you thought won, Fury has taken nothing but a 'loss' here. When you get dropped by an MMA guy, have half of social media crying robbery and the crowd in Saudi booing the decision, you haven't won anything. This is terrible for Fury and he and Warren know it too
I actually think he thought it'd be the cakewalk most of us did and then when he realised he's in a real, real fight against the strongest man he's ever faced, he was treading water. He was also clearly tentative in the late rounds because the power coming back at him was ferocious and thrown accurately.
If you say so. I neveer saw so many people butthurt over a man winning a fight and I dislike Fury. I also think Usyk will kill him.
