I put a little on Ngannou, but I think Fury will just toy with him before finishing Ngannou off. Heavyweights though, you never know.

This is going to be all Fury, but I think the outcome all depends on Ngannou. If he fights to survive he might be able to clinch and shell up to a UD loss. If he's going all out for a highlight reel KO he'll likely get KOd himself. Rooting for him though, it would be absolutely hilarious if he pulled it off.

I would laugh for sure. I always love crazy upsets.

Anyone saying it was rigged: Francis entire shtick was to stand and get jabbed in the face hoping for the counter punch.

That is not the way I thought the fight would go. Good for Francis though.

That is absolutely not what happened.

The overall numbers were pretty close in striking and Ngannou landed more power punches. And one knockdown.

Fury had a couple jabs more, that's about it.
