Tyson wins by TKO, reitres in boxing, calls out Ngannou UFC heavy weight

[TheMaestro]

Tyson wins by a TKO on Whyte by a upper cut.
Congratulations to the Champ.

He said that he is retiring, Imo he will comeback maybe one more time.

Also calls out Ngannou who is current UFC heavy weight champ known for knocking out people.

It would be really intresting match to see.

THOUGHTS?

Helluva punch that he landed there.

He'll be back, I think he will fight the Usyk v Joshua winner.

Anythings possible , meaning for sure its possible Francis could KO Fury.
However if they fight in a boxing match in general I would see Fury as having the edge. His vast experience and boxing skills just give him a lot of advantage.
Boxing rules and the 12 rounds and bigger gloves, its very different to striking in mma.If it was mma though its Francis I would bet on.Stating the obvious I know.

The few MMA fighters that have beat boxers have usually won against old over the hill boxers who really shouldnt have stepped back into the ring.
Such as 59 yo Hollyfield vs 45 yo Vitor Belfort, that was just sad.

Anderson Silva actually did a really great job against 36yo Julio Cesar Chavez Carrasco, this is probably the best example of an mma fighter really doing well against a legit boxer. Although Chavez was probably not what he once was even though just 36 when Anderson beat him.

Connor vs Mayweather, Connor was physically much bigger than Floyd hence Floyd played it very smart and was careful. Connor looked ok at certain times but ultimatly Floyd is probably the best (one of best) to have done it. Over time Floyd just picked Connor apart and if fight kept going past the 9th probably would have knocked him out.

A more interesting fight imo is Fury vs Usyk.

Anderson Silva really surprised me, he is a very good boxer. He brings that unorthodox, unconventional, improvisational approach into the boxing ring, and I could tell if he was younger he could really make a run of it.

Connor was better than I expected too, his length and his talent was enough to make Floyd cautious and careful for the first part of the fight. As Connor fatigued, Floyd started getting aggressive and breaking him down.

I'd like to see Fury fight Usyk as well.

I don't believe any non-boxer on earth has a realistic chance against Fury in a boxing ring, with normal boxing rules. If it was an MMA match, of course Francis would kill him.

Weren't McGregor and Mayweather pretty much the same weight when they fought each other?

...

In Hungary I heard a Gypsy say "Gypsies are genetically superior to Hungarians because the world's best boxer is a gypsy", but they do not realize that Irish and British "travellers" have genetically nothing to do with Hungarian Gypsies.

Fighters weigh in 24 hours before the fight, in that time they must be within a certain weight for that particuliar weight class.
After weigh in they can put back as much weight as possible by fight night.
Connor is just physically a bigger build than Mayweather. He looked bigger than Floyd when they fought, I dont know exactly how much more he weighed by fight night compared to weigh in.

Anderson is a freak, he was 46 when he fought and beat Chavez by decision and also when he boxed Tito Ortiz and KO'd Tito in rnd 1. He is just one of those freak athletes and top level martial artists.

Connor always has had that touch of death power in his left hand. Floyd played it carefull and didnt take any crazy risks as he knew if Connor got through a clean left hand it could of been over. It wasnt the most exciting fight but it was a good demonstration of Floyds boxing IQ and smart gameplan in being able to gradually neutralise a very dangerous puncher in Mcgregor. Once Connors gas tank started running out that was it, He probably would of been knocked out if it went to the 10th.

Really bad fight but amazing KO. Dissapointed with Whyte who came in too heavy and slow and didn't even try against Fury who made him look like a third rate fighter (and I think Dylian is otherwise a quality boxer). Fury should not retire now, his resume looks weak without him fighting Usyk/AJ winner and uniting the belts.
