AJ vs Francis Ngannou is next week

I was listening to Carl Froch talk to True Geordie the other day about this fight. I was more interested to hear what Froch had to say, don't really know much about the other fella, but he brought up some interesting points. Should be interesting to see how AJ and Ngannou approach the fight tactically.

Are we hoping AJ wins so we get AJ v Fury??

 

Would not be backing Anthony Joshua with Tony Bellew's money in this fight.

Joshua is a non elite vacant belt heavyweight champion with form for chin, stamina and heart issues.

Can see him folding should Ngannou stick it on him and facing a more powerful man at that.

Ngannou made Fury look like a novice and he is levels above Joshua.

Joshua either bangs him out early or he is going to have a very long, hard and painful night.

 

No I would rather see Fury fighting Ngannou to redeem his loss before having a rematch versus Usyk.

The non elite Brits in the era about to end Whyte, Chisora, Joshua, Dave Allen and David Price are yesterday's fish and chip paper.

Hopefully new challengers such as Zhang, Bakole, Anderson, Hrgovic and Kabayel get their chance next.

The Heavyweight Belts have been held hostage far too long.

 

I hope Joshua wins this comfortably.

Partly out of selfishness. I thought Fury v Ngannou was a joke event, and it hurt my pride a bit when it was actually a close contest.

But also for the good of boxing. Whatever Ngannou's pedigree, Fury's performance in that fight was bad for the sport.

Not pretending I wouldn't enjoy Fury v Joshua if it happened, but I think it'll happen anyway. It's worth too much to all parties involved, just like Brook v Khan was. It's just a question of which (if any) belts it'll be for and how shot they are by the time it happens.

 

Joshua wins easily and adds another of Fury's most difficult opponents to his outclassed list just like he did to Wallin.

 

You will still be interested in the result, good chance u still watch it also I would think.

 

I didn't know that was on there, i will give it a look.
Cheers.

 

Why is it a bloody Friday again??

Bad for me as I got something on

 

F1 in Saudi the day after.

 

That's literally the only one. The rest Fury beat easier.

 

Keen to see this list

 

PPV must be struggling. They are bundling it in with a DAZN subscription offer.

 

Bakole, Anderson, Hrgovic and Kabayel? Lord give me strength.

 

Better than the recycled few in the stale bread division.

Who do you think deserves a crack at the belts?
