    Yeah and a lot of people were s**** on MMA since that fight. But did Glowacki beat anyone of a notice in MMA ? No, right. And this is best of the best, as we are talking about the HWs.
    This will be equivalent of AJ or Fury goes into the UFC and beat Ngannou or Jones.
    Ngannou already beat Fury, and everyone knows it, and if he beats AJ, Boxing is in the tatters.

    You neglected to mention the guy he beat was some bare knuckle boxer or something who was also making his MMA debut.

    No actually a 270 pound man 6ft9 and a professional world boxing champion isn't an easy fight for anyone. You're talking WWE level bs.

    Yeah that would be true if Francis didn't already beated Fury badly while using like 30% of his arsenal. We see their face after the fight as well. So what im saying is 100% correct.

    So true. And they speak about about street fights as if it's simply an MMA fight without a ref which is delusional

    I'm not sure AJ knocks him out as Ngannou has never been stopped in MMA and he seems to have a very solid chin. Maybe he is stopped on accumulation. I am about 90% certain that AJ wins the fight. I'll give Ngannou a 10% punchers chance early. I think we are going to see the gulf in class between a novice and a pro here and AJ should win pretty comfortably.

    I'm going to bet AJ at -340 as those are completely stupid odds. It should be closer to -800 or -900 for AJ. People are going to realize that after about the 3rd or 4th round that Ngannou has no shot at winning.

    Doesnt matter, he was mounted and KOd him. That's suppose to not happen.
    How bout Artur Szpilka KOing Marius Pudzianowski later on the same card.
    Szpilkas now 3-0 in MMA.

    Ray Mercer at 48 years old KOing a top 10 former 2x UFC HW Champ with one punch in 9 secs ends the discussion.

    Danny Lafavre who did amateur boxing for a like 2 weeks, got into an argument with Benji Radach who was 16-1-1 in MMA at the time and agreed to fight him in MMA.
    Lafavre KOd him 53 seconds.
    Lafavre was like an electrician at the time.

    These are the things MMA fans seem to never remember.

    And there's more I can keep naming.

    So very true. The list of MMA guys who lost in boxing is longer than people realize. These reddit posters think it's McGregor, Silva and Ngannou basically.

    And of course Connor was supposedly a GIANT puncher and should have in theory had amazing stamina because afterall he trained for grappling right? Yet at the end of the fight with Floyd, Floyd who has fragile hands and moderate power, was the snappier puncher and had the better tank.

    I like these crossover fights. Especially in the HW division where 1 punch can decide a fight.

    What would happen? Do you think Francis would start karate kicking people like in the movies? Stop. Would he wrestle someone down and then get stomped by the 40 Fury people there? It's laughable.
    Maybe a punch or 2 thrown and it would erupt in chaos and be all over.

    AJ is better for Francis style wise and Francis confidence is at it's highest. AJ has a big problem.
