    You have to admit that was an amazing KO and hes saved boxing's creditability with that performance after Fury almost destroyed it.

    I'll always pick the Boxer against an MMA guy, no matter how unlikeable the former may be and how loveable the latter might be. Ngannou just had his Rocky Balboa moment against Fury and the whole world believed that it wasn't just a lucky one time thing. Joshua had to do what needed to be done, and he delivered.

    He looked killer tonight!! Right from the walkout.

    He had set out a plan to come back and he is back now.

    Yeah he redeemed boxing in the eyes of many with that. It's just crazy that Fury was so bad in his fight with Ngannou, few boxers have ever been as inconsistent as him, just goes to show how mental boxing is, when a fighter is focused and prepared compared to disinterested and ill prepared the difference is massive.

    As a Ngannou fan, I'm happy to see the deflation among MMA fans who saw the Fury fight as proof that MMA was superior.

    He restored the order. Clowns were getting too comfortable. I'm glad he showed the gulf in skill. He did better than Mayweather and Fury by far.

    No disrespect to Francis but his technique is not the best.

    He saved boxing's cred by ducking Wilder to fight an MMA fighter?
    And avoiding Zhang and Parker too?
    That's an interesting spin on it. You should email Hearn that one.

    Joshua "ducked" a Wilder who just lost a one sided decision to Parker...? Is the average IQ in this section below 50? :facepalm:

    An incredible display of power punching, well down to AJ.

    Ducking a Wilder who just lost 12-0 to Parker who Joshua beat comfortably 8-4 ? so it's Joshua fault Wilder got embarrassed by Parker which pretty much ended any hype regarding that fight ?

    Joshua is ducking Parker who he already beat ?

    You're not making much sense here.

    Ngannou was getting hyped up all over the place, and MMA fans were mocking boxing after Fury's abysmal showing.

    So yes Joshua did restore creditability to the sport making an example of Ngannou after Fury's clown show.

    Blame Fury for Joshua needing to fight an MMA guy to save boxing's creditbability when Fury should've been fighting Usyk instead.
