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.
The boxing community will remember this knockdown instead of Fury's split decision win, It is probably Ngannou's biggest achievement, he's fighting a guy who has 20 years of boxing experience and considered the pound-for-pound greatest heavyweight in this era.
I am one of those who do not believe that Ngannou can match Fury power and ring skill but he has proven us all wrong he bet on himself and he won in this fight not on the judges' scorecard but on the heart of the boxing and MMA community..
The match could have gone either way, but a draw should have been scored to avoid complaints because the fight was too close and Ngannou scored a huge knockout
If it was a draw the world would see it as an exhibition. Let it be that way for the people to know it's Francis who won the fight but on record it's Fury. Of course, there will be a lot of noise, and will be talked about for years.
We can see the frustration on Francis' face when the referee raises the hand of Fury. He sure himself he won the fight and scored in all rounds and he made significant shots in the entire fight.
