    Somebody who has the balls to admit .... Exactly. AJ will play with Frankie Ngannou like with little toddler. He will show him how to walk for 10 rounds.... Whats the Real footwork.

    Once again some people show their incompetent level. Every single punching machine is different. Comparing two machine and what score you get on them is just another example of how much some people on here have no f**** clue about Boxing, fighting, etc. as a hole.
    And this is not a knock on Ngannou. The guy obviously hit like a mule. But this scores on Punching Machine are hot crap.

    Curious, if Ngannou lands a couple clean shots on AJ.
    Expecting AJ to piece him up like he did to Ruiz 2.

    Mate, you are kidding yourself.

    Joshua will beat Ngannou in any fashion he chooses to.

    The sooner we get the African sob story & his groupies out of boxing the better.. then we can focus on competitive bouts rather than this silly nonsense for casuals & the Saudi downs prince .. unfortunately tho right now (& apart from Usyk) i think the division hinges on two overrated lumbering egotists (Fury & AJ) who've had one too many knocks on the head already & theres a big chance another boxing humiliation happens here. He already embarrassed Fury & mental midget AJ is not the figurehead we can rely on to represent the division & pull it out of the mud here.. Imagine Holyfield, Holmes, Lewis & even a prime K2 (for all their faults) in there.. they'd school Ngannou.. hes basic as ****.. easy target .. you name it.. I still cringe at that Fury fight.. thank **** for Usyk at least.. but prepare for a multitude of MMA mud slinging coming our way again.. I'm not convinced Joshua wins .. sad but true.. the division is ****, I just hope people dont confuse it with past eras, because that's an insult.. saying that tho, I think Hrgovic, Zhang, Usyk etc all beat Ngannou convincingly.. but they won't get a look in, we got the over the hill cash cows calling the shots

    So you think AJ can walk down and maul Francis into Submission? Nope

    I think AJ will box the ears off Ngannou and the fight will get to the point where Ngannou is so frustrated that he leaves himself open for AJ to take him out.

    Fury was fat and lazy. AJ won’t make that mistake.

    I think it could easily be AJ via UD.

    Francis Ngannou vs Anthony Joshua. Who wins, how and why? Can Joshua outbox the big punching Ngannou, or will Ngannou be able to find a spot to place one of his lethal punches?

    Pretty sure this will be a carbon copy of Joshua Parker and stink the Kingdom out.

    I'm thinking Joshua wins by UD. Ngannou is big, strong, and durable, and every fight he's lost has been by decision or submission. In theory he could land a big shot, but I don't think he has enough actual skill to reliably land it as a boxer.

    Joshua has been at the short end of two upsets in his career, first Ruiz, a biggie, and then, to a lesser extent, Usyk.

    Set correctly or not, Ngannou is quite the underdog for his fight vs AJ, longer odds than Usyk but apparently shorter odds than Ruiz.

    It’s probably the most speculative endeavour to attempt to get into the mindset of a fighter and possibly factor same into the outcome.

    AJ has slowly but surely crawled his way back from those defeats and all credit to him for that.

    However, I’m not convinced that AJ is all the way back mentally.

    If AJ has let the potential and very real dangers of Ngannou’s power to get into his head, that could compromise him come fight time.

    Given same, a big shot landed early by Francis might heavily influence how AJ reacts and fights thereafter - notwithstanding his preferred and perhaps most wise strategy, established before the fight.

    Fury is no stranger to nor shirking of punishment but Francis’ power clearly caused Tyson himself to be very mindful not to stick his neck out. It quietened Fury down quite a bit.

    Despite AJ’s better focus and confidence in recent fights, just one big shot from Francis could, perhaps, trigger the trauma the of the Ruiz blowout in the first fight if that trauma is not still lurking in AJ’s conscious psyche at any rate.

    Very interested to see how this fight goes down.

    Yes except Francis is slower than Parker, however he has more reach than Parker and AJ has no chin while Francis has more power than AJ.

    No he doesn't have more power than AJ it's all hyped up myth. Joe Pyfer a middleweight UFC fighter beat Ngannous record on the same machine that Ngannou supposedly set this record on. They haven't made much fuss about it though for the obvious reason that it doesn't sell fights in Saudi.
    Also tell is how you come to the conclusion AJ has no chin?

    All Joshua has to do is circle to his right and throw jab. Ngannou only ability is to try and close the gap. A soon as he is close , he will throw everything he can behind a haymaker.
