Fury vs. Ngannou Betting Preview

Even though this is a one-sided affair in the ring this weekend, it’s still important to find ways to win money and make the best Fury vs Ngannou prediction possible. Let’s look over the betting lines and watch some film on both of these fighters to predict how this spectacle of a fight might play out.

According to boxing odds, Fury is the -2000 betting favorite over Ngannou at +1040. The over/under is set at 4.5 rounds, and Fury is even favored to win by KO against someone who has never even been finished in MMA.

Charisma Clash

Let’s not sugar-coat it: this fight isn’t going to be a fair fight. Of course, it’s going to be fair play. But the fact that this is a boxing match should make it clear that Ngannou is simply not going to win.

If you want to see a quick glimpse to compare these two in the boxing ring, watch the open workouts this week. Ngannou looks a lot sharper than he did a year or two ago when hitting mitts, but then Fury goes in the ring and effortlessly moves twice as quickly as a heavyweight should.

Fury has a world-class jab, and world-class footwork, and is arguably the toughest man on the planet with a granite chin and charisma oozing out of his body. Fury thrives at big events like this, and this is the biggest circus of an event that Ngannou has ever been a part of.

The fundamentals and technique comparison of both isn’t even fair to discuss. We have to start figuring out what bet to make–already knowing Fury is going to win.

Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou Betting Prediction

If you make boxing picks this weekend, this is an unorthodox match to bet on. The official Fury vs Ngannou prediction is that Fury will control this fight from start to finish and get the job done in the later rounds.

You can cash in on the over 4.5 rounds. Because Ngannou is going to be ready to compete and have a solid game plan to survive early on. He will need to make this an ugly fight. With a lot of clinches and dirty boxing early–even though Fury is great in those areas as well.

Don’t waste your time on the moneyline. Cash out on the over/under and bet on Fury to win by KO in the later rounds. This is going to be a fun event for fans to watch, and both men will be getting compensated handsomely, as they deserve.
