    Joshua on points or ngannou by knockout . I do not see ngannou being knocked out and i do not see he has a possibility to win on points .

    For the record : i would love to see ngannou win .

    i dont see why not. Francis can bully Aj for ten rounds in the clinch and edge him in the scorecards. Francis has the reach and the stiff jab to point Aj. Francis displayed a stiff jab in Fury, he can hit Aj who is less elusive than Fury.

    On the paper at first glance this fight reminds me of how i thought Joshua-Miller would have went before we saw Millers limits against Dubois.

    Problem is that I just cant rate Ngannous chin that good. He looked suspect against Fury early on.

    For me this fight will go like this:

    Round 1:Joshua beats him to the punch everytime with powerful blows. Because Ngannou punches slower swinging punches and Joshua fast straights with better timing.

    Round 2: Ngannou feels hurt and decide to go out on his shield. He try to walk Joshua down and load up another big right hand but this time Joshua connects hard and heavy at the temple with a big right hand of his own and Ngannou goes down. Fight stops.

    I cant see this fight going any different than this scenario.

    I see joshua starting nervous and trying to keep the distance .

    After that start everything can happen . One scenario is aj dominates everything and ngannou gets frustrated , other scenario is ngannou mauls him down and connects a hook on the infight breaking aj mentally and testing his chin .

    We will see in few days !

    Mate this is spot on.

    Even when the bloke acts like a complete spoilt child see you next Tuesday there is eff all said it's forgot incredibly quickly when it should be completely vilified.

    The shills will keep him going forever.

    The Olympics where fixed for him fer Christ sake.

    Something else that isn't mentioned.

    That's because you're not a real boxing fan.

    We saw what Ngannou did to fury, it could be lights out for the Watford man. Then it may come down to wilder to face ngannou and save face for boxing

    When Ngannou stops AJ then only Oleksandr Usyk can save boxing from the dominant rule of The Gypsy King.

    Usyk needs to be protected by god but god will not favour between Fury & Usyk as fury already SCHOOLED Usyk on. "God would never bring me to you"

    All that matters is to have love in your soul. AJ fronts love but it's not genuine. He's hurting inside and only through a full humbling can he find himself.

    Beyond the nonsense everyone likes to perpetrate both Fury & Usyk love each other which is why beyond the physical and mental their spiritual battle is something so special.

    I think Wallin and Gassiev will save the boxing.

    Wilder's done.


    He's not saving anything.

    Apart from his punches these days, he doesn't throw any, anymore.

    Quite the opposite . I think he brings fresh wind in the division . I do not see him as a 'foreigner' but as a boxer . A boxer who compensates obvious lack of skills with sheer power. Why not welcome him ?
