Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou •

Only a clueless clown would ask this question.
This is what should happen when a top professional boxer fights a UFC fighter ignore the Fury fight who was a disgrace.
Ngannou never had a chance in this fight it was simply a money collecting project for both camps it’s only clueless casuals who would think he ever did.
Ngannou must have agreed with Joshua to make it look really good and be rendered unconscious.

 

Francis’ defence against right hands was already brought into some question before the fight.

Francis had also said that he “felt” Fury’s punches, adding that it was the hardest he had been hit - clearly AJ’s punches were going to hurt that much if they landed flush - exactly as they did in this fight.

Why wouldn’t Francis stay down after the first KD? - he mindfully took 8-9 counts for the first 2 KDs - he was trying to recover and hang in there.

 

Because this is a dreadful take and is just another example of people not understanding boxing. The reason AJ smoked Ngannou while it took him longer to deal with Franklin and Helenius is because those guys are professional boxers and have been for years. Styles make fights and they had better defences than Ngannou. Now Francis is very tough which showed against Fury but AJ is a world class heavyweight with incredible power.

There was absolutely nothing to suggest the fight was in any way script. It showed the difference in levels between a tremendous athlete new to boxing and one of the best in the business.

 

Wouldn’t be surprised - they all might be NEETs if I’m honest, it wouldn’t surprise me.

 

Well then boxing needs to step up.

 

Are you serious or trolling here I'm genuinely not sure? I'm not sure if I said it on here but I'll say it anyway. Ngannou is not a good boxer he never was. He has decent boxing fundamentals but that's it. He wasn't good against Fury, Fury was just bad enough to flatter Ngannou and so many got excited and fell for it. Fury coming out with the comments about Ngannous granite chin was nonsence fact is Fury was terrible and isn't a big puncher in the sense he'll drive a punch through the back of your nut. The kicks to the head Ngannou has taken in mma are mostly glancing and he's not taken anything like AJ would put on his chin. I know I did say on here if Ngannou comes to fight then AJ will go through him like a dodgy kebab after 10 pints and thats exactly what happened, he went straight through him.

The AJ hate on here is ridiculous, he got caught against Ruiz so changed tactics like a good boxer can and shut him out in the rematch. Then he's lost to an ATG who will be talked about for years in Usyk. Maybe when Usyk humiliates Fury this silliness might stop.

 

This was a poor take and claiming now that it was a dive is a cop out. Except you were wrong and be a man. Claiming a fighter like Ngannou would take a dive is silly and there is absolutely 0 from the fight to suggest this.

 

Wtf

Do you enjoy inflicting pain on yourself or are you just a complete moron?

 

I got the impression AJ didn't want to spend any unnecessary time in the ring with Ngannou so he violently ended him the first chance he got.

 

I think you're on to something, UK.

I thought the same thing when Mike Tyson KO'd Michael Spinks a while back, in just 73 seconds.

I saw the same suspicious signs again when Pac stopped Ricky Hatton.

If you're right about last night's bout (and I see no reason to doubt you), then these clearly fixed KOs are becoming a trend.



Keep an eye out for more like this, and alert the forum if you you see any more suspicious wipe-outs.

 

I agree. They probably paid lots of money to Ngannou to take a dive and get knocked out by AJ, to rebuild the latter's career.

Now people are saying: "Look, Fury struggled against Ngannou, but AJ knocked him out. So, AJ is better than Fury".

 

Anyone know what they were being paid for last night?

 

Thought I saw:

AJ 50M
Ngannou 20M

Crazy.
