Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou •

Not a dive, a legit opening to get hit with damaging shot on purpose.
It is all just to perfect for Joshua, very sus.

 

Surely he took a dive. Just like Cooney did vs Foreman or Hatton did vs Pacquiao. Obvious dives in all 3 occasions

 

What a load of nonsense.
Taking full blown shots from a man like Joshua could literally kill you.
Nobody does that voluntarily.

What we witnessed was a novice boxer vs an elite boxer. The fight should never have happened and would never have happened if it weren't for Tyson Fury.

Fury cherry picked Ngannou for another easy pay day then never took the fight seriously. The result, he looked like a clown which made Ngannou appear better than he was.

Ngannou could've been permanently hurt last night due to that previous circus event with Fury.

 

That wasn't Ngannou in there, the Saudi's fearing another upset drugged Francis and got Amir Khan in a high tech Francis Ngannou suit to fight Joshua right? Yes that's what happened, lol.

 

Normally when a boxer takes a legit shot on purpose the two boxers are usually talking and probing each other with jabs prior to the big shot like when Paul ko'd Woodley 2, or sometimes the shot doesn't land at all like when Wilder ko'd Malik Scott.

This wasn't that, this was intense from the get go, both fighters had bad intentions for one another, nothing pre-planned.

 

Don’t forget Duran vs Hearns. If we’re scoring dives for being blatant - that one was 10/10.

That last Hearns right hand was a love tap - it wouldn’t have even knocked a precariously balanced grandmother off her chamber pot - but it was obvious that Roberto had mentally signed off and basically said “No Mas” for the second time.

Stick to WWE, at least it’s the devil you know.

 

I can only say that
the fight confirmed Usyk is the best HW around and one of the best ever.

 

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.
