Yep AJ will take his time out box Ngannou and get the stoppage. Fury made the mistake of thinking he could knock Francis out whenever he wanted to and didn’t really have a plan. AJ TKO 6
Nganno will face a fighter of equal strength and with far better skills, if Fury took Ngannou more seriously then he would have beaten him convincingly
Never seen Francis hit flush by a decent striker, most of his MMA fights ended early and Fury didn`t land much othe than a few jabs and a couple of right hands, AJ will hit him harder than anybody else has and more often.
Francis has already proven he's quite a phenom specimen and talent, they just don't want to believe it yet. it's the very basics that win fights. AJ sticking to a hard jab is what Francis has to overcome and might be a shock for him. Time for Francis to show if he can deal with a hard hitting HW. He's going to get cracked, we'll see how good that chin really is.
The Saudis probably offered crazy money. Turki Al-Sheik must be the ULTIMATE boxing fan - whatever fights he wants to see, he just gets out his chequebook and says "how much to make it happen?"
I don't think it even costs him that much. Francis will take $2-10m without blinking. AJ for this kind of fight would settle for $20m no problem. Quite cheap and they could actually break even and profit on PPV with this fight. Although I'm sure he'll pay them way more than i've just stated and make a loss.
Let's hope that along with the freakshows he can deliver the big fights that fans wanna see like Bivol vs Beterbiev, Opetaia vs other CW champs etc
I don't blame them for making this fight. Fury **** the bed and AJ is going to show Fury how it's done. AJ is a professional... always in shape. Fury is a waste of talent who could have accomplished so much more in his career if he wasn't such a slob. AJ will knock Ngannou out.
AJ will show Fury how it's done against Francis Fury will show AJ how it's done against Usyk Pacquiao beats Floyd in the exhibition bout Wilder finally gets pregnant Order is restored in the boxing universe
Really disappointed with this, the Hrgovic fight makes far more sense and would potentially be for a belt. What a shame.
