Of course people would say Francis definitely won that fight. And at the time it seemed to be the decision to make. Maybe because it wasn't a match that he could of lost his heavyweight belt.
Who knows and the last judge's score did not make much sense to many either Juan Carlos Pelavo scoring 96-93.
Nice little cartoon to watch of this fight from Mojahed Fudailat:

You can see Ngannou has the power to keep taking on challengers of this caliber and getting stronger with every fight he accepts.
if it was Ngannou who won, the boxing gyms today would have all his posters on them and would all start training BJJ and Muay Thai. and the 4 boxing organizations will be humiliated, that's now what they want the ending to be. So it is best to just keep Fury. i agree its Francis who won but it's just not gonna look good for boxing.
i wonder what the cashout looks like just when Ngannou knockdown Fury. it was 8.20 and if you root for Francis at that time your excitement is up to 500%.
