The Fury we seen last time wasn't capable of a lot. Even his grabbing and clutching was a lot worse .. literally running across the ring desperate to hold Ngannou if you remember :roll:
One poor performance and your writing the bloke off?
Good thing your Mrs doesn't do that eh?.
He didn't train properly, he didn't have any footage of Ngannou actually boxing to study, and he got the win.
Was Ngannou Furys only poor showing though?

He didn`t look good against Wallin ... especially given how easily AJ brushed away Wallin.
Fury had life and death again with Wilder ... a Wilder that Parker made to look as limited as a lot predicted.
Not much was learnt against Chisora or Whyte .. then we had Ngannou.

So not so much writing Fury off, merely putting things into perspective.

As others have said. A top boxer would be able to make the changes within a couple rounds. Instead Fury took to desperately running across the ring to grab and hold Ngannou.

OK, maybe I'm cutting him too much slack. Some guys do respond to an off night or wake up call.
I hope he has, so as to make the Uysk fight what it should be- two top guys fighting for all the baubles.

I also recall Fury Cunningham, not a good night either. There was another close fight he had early on..
