    Good jaw, not very good defence.

    Fair play to AJ, I wanted Ngannou to decapitate him and realistically I though AJ would win but have some scares. He made it look easy. Destructive performance.

    I dont think the chin has anything to do with what just happened to Francis. That punch KO’s anyone anywhere full stop. It’s probably the single most brutal punch you will ever see. Just disgusting and hilarious

    How did his chin look suspect vs Fury? He showed no signs of being hurt at all.

    I've been saying this for a while, Ngannou just suffers from MMA chin, MMA fighters CANNOT take a proper punch especially from a top level boxer. Jesus, Ngannou looked like he was about to die, you can tell he never wants to experience that again and all that Wilder talk goes out the window.

    When did Ruiz take a direct punch to the jaw like Francis did in either of his AJ fights? Francis mistake was that he is a boxing novice who felt like he could get by only on his chin (worked against Fury) and not look to incorporate actual defense.

    Lol no. You cant let a 250 lb heavyweight plant his feet and land a flush punch right on your chin . That is not glass jaw.

    He never ate shots that clean from punchers like AJ in MMA. Stipe in the first fight hit him clean the most and he's not anywhere near the same sort of puncher as AJ. Ngannou has a serviceable chin by any standard but he was too slow and defensively prone to avoid the biggest shots of AJ.

    That's true but people really were doubting Anthony Joshua would go for the KO. Or could even get it. I heard it for a while now that Francis gets hit with the small gloves and takes kicks and he has never even flinched. Anthony Joshua is one of the top five punchers alive right now.

    Those three knockdown punches were telegraphed from Watford; any decent boxer would have either ducked or blocked them. They were temple shots, making Ngannou wobbly, and a straight right perfectly place to the chin.

    They were huge punches. Could have knocked down anyone.
