    But to clarify : this is not a pure exhibition fight , correct ?

    It may end with a ko ?

    Interesting thoughts about an orchestrated fight . So you say ngannou has zero chance in a 'real' standoff against fury ?

    Fury is a showman will likely carry him to the end. The worst thing for Ngannu would have been to match up with an average heavyweight, because even someone like Hughie Fury or Gerald Washington would knock him out and it would be quite embarrassing for him.

    I expect something along the lines of Mayweather vs McGregor.

    Who recorded Ngannou’s hardest punch ever? The UFC? Because they are good at hyping their fighters.

    Do not know who exactly recorded this but it seems to be widely accepted to be true :

    [url]https://www.givemesport.com/88105296-francis-ngannou-broke-world-record-for-hardest-punch-ever-in-2018/[/url]

    This may of course mean nothing if he cannot place it .

    You may be on something that this is pure show .

    Hard to say if a world class mma fighter has any chances against a world class boxer assuming both are serious about it .

    No disrespect to Tyrone Spong but he was the prior record holder and no way he is the hardest puncher ever.

    It’s a pile of sh1t to tell you the truth. That’s my 2 cents.

    Francis technique looks better than Conor's but it's so obvious he's going to get tired super fast and that's assuming he doesn't get stopped in the first round

    His best hope is to do something in the earlier rounds and get lucky with one punch. The longer the fight goes the more tired he’ll get, his stamina is not the best, as we saw in MMA…

    I wish Mike would find some hardscrabble kids and train em' up. Could be argued that's what he owes.

    Tyson still looks faster than Ngannou on the pads...
