    It’s just blind AJ hate. Anyone who actually picked Francis should be banned.

    Perfect insertion of fact. Olek has a tremendous beard.

    Painfully obvious from the first seconds Ngannou had nothing. Joshua worked around that painfully limited rear hand parries and built further set-up and responses from there. A repeat of the Wallin fight where his opponent is clearly clueless what's going on. Kudos to AJ's trainers as well.

    Don't get it twisted, Ngannou's aura is GONE. No matter what happens now it will be "yeah but you got absolutely wrecked by AJ".

    Massive difference - AJ can bang hard, Fury is and always was feather fisted by heavyweight standards.

    This guy went the distance (10, not 12) because Fury was unfit, didn't prepare properly... And isn't a huge puncher

    I’ll say this, yet to the last part, it’s good to see Fury have egg on his face.

    Zhang is no fraud, the guy has murder in his hands. However he was overhyped and his flaws (activity and engine) were evident and I’m not surprised Parker got the job done. Hopefully it kills the ridiculous talk of him smoking everyone.

    Ngannou is what he is, an MMA guy who had a world class debut against a guy who took him lightly. He’s still a warrior and has no quit in him. AJ is just very very sharp and hits like a truck. Unlike Fury he took it seriously and it showed. We can now move forward towards an AJ vs Fury showdown.

    Also as I said: I wouldn't bet on Ngannou against Ajagba.

    Suck it MMA losers.

    This event just reaffirms that Usyk is the #1 HW in the world.

    I'm yet to see a solid explanation as to why that no longer exists......
