…. And I’m guessing the suggestion is the supposed ‘dive’ wasn’t to throw the right, but just to make it more exciting in the knowledge he’d always get the nod.
But no, defo not a dive!

It was just something that was mentioned to me by a couple of Juniors at work. They're MMA fans who tuned in and didn't think it was kosher. Personally, I think it was.Frostieballs wrote: ↑30 Oct 2023, 15:04….

I reckon you could be bang on there re Fury’s approach to the fight.jwfg wrote: ↑30 Oct 2023, 15:12It was just something that was mentioned to me by a couple of Juniors at work.

My opinion, for what it's worth, is Fury turned up with the intention of carrying Ngannou and it backfired on him spectacularly.
I think Fury's punch resistance ain't what it used to be. I think his focus and mental game is severely depleted and he will never be as good as he was in the second Wilder fight.
and being 6ft 9, he's actually 5'8 it's all gimmick

he's also possibly still drinking and doing other things, he's utterly chaotic, those things take a toll.jamesmcdonnell wrote: ↑31 Oct 2023, 17:45I concur.jwfg wrote: ↑30 Oct 2023, 15:12It was just something that was mentioned to me by a couple of Juniors at work.

Fury thought it would be so easy,,he could coast to a win, without the need to make it an exhibition.
When he got there, Ngannou was better schooled than he thought, and much much stronger than anybody he faced since Wlad.
He also found his reflexes weren't quite up to muster.
At 35 and with few serious fights and lots of extra curricular activity, it would seem highly improbable he could return to his best level, arguably his 2nd fight with wilder.
