What an incredible performance by Francis Ngannou against Tyson Fury even though he lost the fight by split decision, Francis Ngannou was able to drop him in the third round and won the round and it was a really close fight than anticipated and the stock of Francis Ngannou just gone up with this performance.

I certainly hope there is a rematch because Ngannou still has a lot of room for improvement. Either Fury is really starting to decline, or he didn't take this match seriously enough, or was just scared of Ngannou's power. He didn't look his best. If he is better prepared in a rematch it will be a really explosive fight but if he takes it lightly again his vulnerabilities, which were exposed again tonight, will lead to him getting knocked out cold.
Tyson Fury might have taken him lightly and it looked like he gassed out as well, it was definitely one hell of a performance by Francis as it was expected to be a cake walk for Fury when the fight was announced.

What a fight! Ngannou did WAY better than i thought he would, it was a really close fight, i would even say he won.. I really think if he wants to, he could probably go full time boxing. With more experience and training he could become a real force in the sport. As for Fury fighting Usyk, i have my doubts about that one now.
