    Do you genuinely think Fury should fight Ngannou prior to his May bout against Usyk?
    I am sure Usyk would welcome Fury doing that.

    I commented the other day that "MMA heavyweight champs all seem invincible until they get KO'ed and they become half the fighter they were before".

    Ngannou's chin has be shattered and he will never be able to take a decent shot again. His confidence will never be the same, as doubt has now entered into his mind and will never leave.

    He will likely lose his next fight be it boxing or MMA.

    WRONG! Ngannou is now yesterday's news. No one will give shyte about him now.
    Even MMA fans will turn against him as he simply lost in such an embarrissing fashion.

    This would be a waste of time, a complete lose-lose situation for boxing. Fury can think of getting his rematch when he gets old and washed up, now is simply not the time.

    A lot of them already did, which is sad to see to be fair.

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

    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.

    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.
