Tyson Fury - His Own Worst Enemy 

The fact Fury repeatedly tried to clinch with a man who came from MMA where wrestling is a thing was one of the worst cases of ring IQ I've seen in such a high level boxer

I think Francis out muscling him in the clinch really surprised Fury, Francis was controlling him and even big brothering him in the clinch 8/10 times, giving Fury no time to rest while tiring his opponent.

The idea that anybody thought Fury would put muscle Francis in the clinch is ridiculous. The clinch is a big deal in MMA.

Tyson avoided a fight to become undisputed only to get embarrassed. If that's not poetic justice I don't know what is.

Francis’ reaction time was absolutely insane. The way he trusted himself to just poke every punch out of the air and parry EVERYTHING is why Tyson looked so out of place. Fury seemed scared to throw.

Ngannou is a fast learner. In MMA he lost to Miocic, and in their second fight he destroyed the same.

When Francis switched to southpaw and was able to keep up, my jaws dropped. What an incredible story for Francis. I am so proud of him. Big big win for Cameroon!

I was very much team Fury after he bounced back from his mental struggles. But he has thrown all of that back into our faces. His epic rants about only caring about money, dodging fights, taking fights nobody cares about…and then the antics of other family members. At this point he feels like a fraudster and we all gave him the benefit of the doubt for too long

I used to be a supportive Brit, regarding Fury, but with all his shenanigans, duckery; smoke & mirrors, he's lost most of us hard core boxing fans. Usyk must be rubbing his hands, now the Fury fight is signed. Knowing Fury though, I wouldn't be surprised if he retires again.! Good work Rummy. Always appreciated. Bless 👊

This fight hit that mans pride differently than any other fight. How he bounces back will speak volumes

I think Fury is a good representation of this generation of heavyweights: Missed opportunities and wasted talent.

Fury’s best performance was in the Wilder rematch. He weighed in at 273 for that fight but was carrying more muscle mass and much less fat. He was actually motivated for that fight and it was probably one of the only training camps he really took seriously. His brother Shane took the lead during that camp and it brought out the best in Tyson. Tyson needs someone who can tell him how it really is instead of being a yes man. Otherwise he’s reckless.

Overeem also realised clinching Ngannou was like trying to clinch a Polar bear lmao you can actually see the hopelessness in his face when he felt Francis’ wrestling power, and I saw the same look in Fury last week😂

That's a hell of a way for Ngannou to start his boxing career.

Not many people are talking about how good Ngannou looked going SOUTHPAW. I've followed his career since the beginning and he rarely switches to southpaw in MMA. The fact that he looked comfortable and Fury was absolutely puzzled when in the middle rounds he'd switch to southpaw. Ngannou's team deserves a lot of credit for their research and preparation.

It wasn’t how bad Fury was, it was what Ngannou DID that made this a hard fight for Fury. Francis refused to be bullied or intimidated, refused to let Fury lean all over him to tire him, refused to fall for Fury’s jerky feints, and was patient enough most of the time to WAIT, let Fury throw first then counter punched Fury. Fury was worried after feeling Francis power in the 2nd round, then when he got decked he was shocked beyond belief. He saw the possibility that with one punch he may suffer the biggest embarrassment ever in the history of any sport. Don’t be fooled by the calm and matter of fact demeanour of Fury since the fight. He is embarrassed and shocked that this absolute novice who had never had a single boxing match could deliver this nightmare upon him. But Francis is an absolute natural fighter, and by all accounts a very fast learner, he’s been training mma for years now, wasn’t overawed by the size of the event or the mountain in front of him, but grabbed it with both hands. I thought he did enough good work to win the fight. 👍🇬🇧

I think you nailed it Rummy, Fury is going through his Rocky 3 moment. On top of the world, well set for the future, Fury no longer has a reason to take things seriously. And with all of that, Clubber Lang is still hungry and ready to take his fame. Great video as always, very informative and entertaining!

It was good to see Tyson Fury humbled so badly by a novice. Hopefully it will make him a better person. 👍

A little of Tyson not taking it serious enough, and a little of Ngannou being better than most thought. I would argue more so of the former though.

I rewatched and scored it for Fury by 1 point (won 6 VERY close rounds, Nganou 4 clear rounds with a 10-8). Ngannou was amazing. Disciplined, powerful, patient, great timing and all around sports intelligence.

Another great analysis, thanks Rummy.

Francis is a specimen. If he trained boxing at a young age…..RIP to all the heavyweights.

Oh Rummy, mate, I've been waiting for this. Seems like you're the only dude giving a reasonable, sober and fair-minded analysis of the heavyweight division these days,.

Tyson no longer on PEDS makes a difference to his performance 😉

Ive been waiting for this video since the fight. Thank you Rummy for your stellar content

I think the knockdown really made Fury gun-shy as he was in the middle of unloading on Ngannou when it happened.

Ngannou has a great chin and incredible stamina. I was expecting him to gas out like McGregor did. If Ngannou had decided to become a boxer, he'd be world champion.

Francis is an amazing fighter under any rule set, as well as being a humble and courteous guy. I hope Fury learned something! Keep up the good work, Rummy.

Key point Rummy makes was that Fury tried to end it early. I hate making the comparison , but the right hands fury was throwing from the first bell reminded me of Ali's opening strategy against George Foreman. The problem was Ngannou could just take them comfortably so he started to throw a counter left everytime fury throw that right. Eventually it landed. Fury scrambled some sort of messy plan b for the rest of the fight, but looked bad doing it

It was nice to see Frank Warren be embarrassed, he wasn't even sure about the fury and usyk fight anymore😂

Tyson has been doing himself and the boxing world a disservice.

Keep in mind when Klitchko's team heard about the steroid news they immediately wanted Usada/Wada testing which if Fury had gotten popped again would have faced a 2 year ban of the sport. Also keep in mind his bout with mental illness lasted 2 years and came back after Klitchko had retired and part of the story got swept under the rug.

Tyson was humble for the first time in his career.

I was not expecting this thorough and extensive analysis! I'm utterly impressed with your well informed perspective about his career highlights. Thanks a lot!

A classic story of one boxer (Fury) over estimating himself and underestimating his opponent (Ngannou), next fights for both will be super interesting now.

Thanks so much Rummy, have been patiently waiting for your insights into this fight

The Wladimir Vs Fury boxing match was an extraordinary display of two fighters carefully circling each other for 12 rounds. And this despite Wladimir having possibly the highest KO rate of any heavyweight boxer. The Wilder/Fury version Fury was a lot better from a spectator viewpoint.

Fury will always feel like a guy who, despite his accomplishments, you ask “what if?” regarding his career.

I've been waiting for this review. Great Rocky reference and really accurate. Fury has lost the eye of the tiger. The biggest issue is that he doesn't fight. Fighters fight. Ali, Tyson, Foreman, Lewis, Holyfield and more. They fought and justified their position as champions or top contenders. The current heavyweight division is embarrassing at their lack of ambition. At least AJ is fighting whether you rate him or not, but Fury and Wilder are pretenders. I hope either Fury raises his activity levels or loses soon, as he still is the lineal champion and that means something to me if not to him.

Regardless of what happened on the night or will happen, one thing is for sure. Rummy will always be No. 1.

I wish there was only 1 belt per weight division. The best would HAVE to fight the best to become champion

His face in the thumbnail and during the fsce iff after the fight said it all

This reminds me of Rocky 1, where Creeds only just sees off the Italian Stallion. A fight he was meant to win easily. I think the Usyk fight will be totally different as they've studied each other, and definitely know each other inside out.

Francis is amazing and appreciated. Teddy Atlas , Larry Holmes and Bowe along with yourself scored the victory to Fury but Francis was brilliant and could have won. Teddy Atlas scored 97 -93 Fury. But like you highlighted Francis won the event. Francis could be a world contender.. His first fight and a awesome performance deserving victory according to many Fury is one of the all time greats and for Francis to do that , he is already a winner . God Bless.

tyson as a habit of being a little careless so its no surprise he got dropped by a power puncher

I want to see Francis vs Wilder or Usyk. His story is just so inspiring and it would be very cool to see him beat some of the top guys.

Fury’s best attribute has always been his uncanny speed for someone his size. He seems to be slowing down now. Thats a big problem. Power is the last thing to go, so a Wilder or a Joshua would give him a lot of trouble now. He would have wiped the floor with Joshua a couple of years ago. I’m not so sure now.

I thought the Fury/Ngannou fight was a draw if not an razor thin win for Ngannou. He really needs to get it together if he wants a chance against Usyk, I think people just see the size difference, and forget that some of Fury's hardest fights came against fighters much smaller than him.

it was always a no-win for Fury. if he puts on a clinic, it was expected. if it's close, it brings his dominance into question. and if he actually lost, that would bring into question not only him, but current day boxing as a whole.

Finally, i was eagerly waiting for an upload from you right after the fight.

Nice video. I appreciate the work gone in to your edits.

Maybe that sort of cold shower reality check is what Fury really needed. Once upon a time Ali lost to Ken Norton, having his jaw broken. But that experience only helped him in big picture, because it motivated him to train hard, trim down and focus more. He ended up winning rematch with Norton, avenging his previous loss to Frazier and then upsetting Foreman in the Rumble. Only time can tell.

Fury loves his burgers and cookies too much.

Cheers for this. Love a bit of the old Rummy's Corner.

Thanks for the video Rummy!

Had he fought Ruiz, Hrgovic or even Parker like we told him instead of fighting Ngannou this wouldn't have happened

Great video as always, Rummy. I don't know if you saw, but Frank Warren said that he knew it would be a tough fight, but realised in the first round that Ngannou could actually box. That says it all. I do think Fury tends to fight down to the opponent's perceived level, and sometimes almost gets found out (McDermott I, Wallin...) and that almost happened again here. I had Fury winning on points, but it wasn't a great look for him.

Was waiting for this video from my favorite boxing channel.

You did it again, Rummy. You freak'n rocked it once again. Best content on youtube. All hail Rummy!!! The lineal champion of the internet.

Think it was a little bit of both, however it was more that Tyson did NOT take that fight seriously at all. It was arguably the worst performance of his career to date. Also, I think he fell in love with his ability to brawl rather than box, ever since the Wilder fights. He showed tremendous skill against Wlad but that was a looong time ago. Ever since he basically brawled his way to the top, and now he thinks he can rough out any opponnent out there, I have absolutely no doubt that that's what he intended to do with Usyk, given that he was calling him a middleweight and a midget every chance he could. Ngannou proved to be tougher and more resillient than we thought, however he did not display any outstanding technical prowess in that night, he just had a big, fat target in front of him. I do want to see more fights from him and watch him get better at boxing but I really wouldn't be surprised if he lost against the likes of Hrgovic, Wardley, Johnny Fisher, etc. As for Tyson, hope this humbled him a bit and forced him to go back to the drawing board, he won't keep winning just because he's a 6ft9 barrell shaped boxer.

Ngannou made me eat every word I uttered about his boxing ability. I've never been so wrong in my entire life.

Ive been waiting for this vid, well done!

Excellent, well put together, video. Superb.

best boxing channel on RU-vid

Tyson is not disciplined when it comes to training. Now at 35, the weight gains and losses add up.

You definitely know boxing my friend. Thats why im subscribed to your channel

Awesome video Rummy. Thank you 😊

Great video. I agree that Usyk is his last chance. If he loses that fight or ducks it everyone (rightly or wrongly) will say he was never that good to start with; if he wins against Usyk he has a legitimate claim to be one of the best of his era. So much riding on one fight for him.

I think this was both Francis having the finest night of his life, and also Tyson having a bad night at the office. Congrats to both for taking the risk, and am looking forward to the rematch

Thanks Rummy for this post fight analysis

Great review of the entire situation

a bitter pill to swallow, not because fury agruably lost, but because it shook my entire worldview that a shark cannot beat a lion in the forrest and a lion cannot beat a shark in the sea. my confidence in absolutes was shaken 😳

Fury looked like he thought Francis would just lay down for him. Seeing the supposed “best” heavy weight look shocked and lost against a man making his debut was pathetic but hilarious. Also for once he couldn’t out grapple his opponent or beat him with physicality

Love your videos Rummy The best boxing channel imo

Really appreciate these in depth videos tyvm mate 👍

If fight against Usyk happens in december Usyk wins it. No way Fury can get after this fight to his best shape that quickly.

Francis Ngannou just proved that he is one of the greatest athletes of all time. There was absolutely no reason for him to be able to outbox the world champion.

Always enjoy your perspective on boxing Rummy.

Could not think of a more accurate way of putting it

Can someone tell me what Lennox was doing while playing bouncer and not letting a camera in?

Bad night for fury great night for ngannou. Still have the fight scored 95-94 fury

Brilliant video as per usual by rummy

I think the major thing that happened after this fight was that many hardcore boxing fans will now switch or at least start getting into mma, after realizing that they're not such bad boxers And they have 100 more weapons they can use in an mma fight. I like boxing but it's unbearable to watch a boxing event, hours of waiting, pointless talk and "entertainment", nobody knows or cares about the undercard, MMA is just better at every level, fast, many great fights in most events and no waiting or anthems every fight.

HE GOT DROPPED!

Fury looked shot 😳

Fabulous video. Love your stuff

Great analysis, particularly of Fury's shortcomings in the Ngannou fight.

Tons of credit to francis. He did a much better job than almost all of us thought he would including me. I think that Tyson Fury's problem is that he fights at the level of his opponent. Whenever he's given a challenge that is supposed to be nearly impossible, he performs incredibly and amazes the world. But when he fights people that he's supposed to beat easily, he doesn't do as well. I also thought that Tyson won the fight. he edged It Out by one point imo, but it was very close. I can see why some people thought that he lost . Hopefully he will show up and redeem himself against Alexander usyk

He can fight Usyk, win, defend once then retire.

Rummy you are the best. That was bang on! Love from Scotland!!

Great video

1:25 Not really ; he was a dominant force because he cherry picked his opponents and never fought anyone as tall as him so he could use the jab and slowly break down rivals without taking any undue risks

The first offer for Usyk was December and Usyk said no due to Injury. The 2nd one, Usyks team admitted they walked away due to not getting the rematch they wanted. Little bit of context goes a long way and most of the criticism is coming from Eddie Hearn/Aj Dickriders.

Great video as always 👍🏻

I've been a Ngannou fan for years, but honestly this physical, clinch-heavy iteration of Fury was a great match-up for him. I'm not sure if he'll look this good against a faster HW, like Usyk. It would be like his fight against Gane, but this time he can't wrestle his way to victory. Would be very happy if I'm proven wrong.

I just want an interview from Fury that tells us how hard Francis hits compared to Wilder. I wonder if he'd be honest.

Also, not a fan of you mentioning Ngannou’s age as if he is just this old man withering away. Francis is in his prime.

The title of this video is spot on. With Fury it is up and down.

Been waiting for this.
