Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou •

I believe Turki said to Ngannou “Tyson is next” right after the fight in the ring. So they still want to make that fight.

 

PFL.

 

And Raphael Butler a boxer who has wins in MMA and butterbean who has wins in MMA, and Mayorga who originally had a win in MMA, and Shields who has a win in MMA, and Artur Szpilka who is currently undefeated in MMA etc

 

Yes, i'm sure MMA fighters couldnt get wins in boxing against opponents at the level of the opponents those boxers beat in MMA.


Claressa Shields beat two chicks with losing records ffs lol. And went life and death with them too.

 

And what a statement. 2 round demolition job leaving no room for controversy.

He was the rightful big favorite but man I was nervous when the fight started. An Ngannou win would have been absolutely devastating for the sport and its credibility.

Well done AJ, respect Ngannou!

 

Yes, though I fully expected it, it is a good thing for the sport.

 

Yes I am relieved
Now I want to see Joshua against Hrgovic

 

Not relieved as it was a foregone conclusion in my mind. But the manner of the win was a surprise and with just how emphatic it was, it made a clear statement in regards to why you shouldn't crossover to other disciplines. But lets be honest it will happen again, may even see Ngannou box again, because the money is big enough in boxing to make it worth these MMA fighters crossing over and getting KTFO.

 

More relieved how devastating and clear it was, because the endresult was to be expected.

I feared it would be a very cautious approach from Joshi with a KO finish at the end or even very wide on points.
A destruction like this is the best possible result for boxing to wash away the foul taste of Ngannou vs Fury.

 

As a fan of both sports, mixed feelings. Made boxing look super credible after the Fury debacle but at the same time kind of made MMA look bad. I'm not a fan of these crossovers at all really. I dont like seeing great fighters being made to look like random bums.

 

"An Ngannou win would have been absolutely devastating for the sport and its credibility."

I don't see how a Ngannou win would be devastating for boxing. Boxing is a resilient sport and will continue despite setbacks (like Tyson biting Holyfield's ear off and the very dubious Ali-Liston rematch, among many others). As far as losing credibility boxing throughout history has had credibility crises. It's nothing new and boxing will continue as long as there is money to be made.

 

Let’s hope AJs brutal KO of the “iron domed” Ngannou is the seal in the coffin for MMA-Boxing crossovers

 

Ngannou said in this interview he knew he was going to lose. And the first knockdown seemed a bit dubious
