Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou •

How cute

"I'm going to wipe the ring with your ass again. There was blood in the ring and it stick in your pants."

Did Francis just imply that he butt raped Fury?

Kind of hot

 

Kinda did. Kinda did.

 

As a boxing fan, he isn’t wrong. Anywhere except the boxing ring he wouldn’t have a chance against Francis.

 

It wasn't the very best of ideas, pork belly slice actually getting in the ring with Francis.


Belly needs to avoid the carpark with him at all costs.


It wouldn't end very well.

 

What if he has a gun?

 

He was not so confident and proud (Fury) after last bell in their fight. He look like beaten dog...

Not good idea talking like that to Francis after soo horrible performance.
But maybe its part of the deal. Maybe Tyson trying make Francis lost his focus on friday fight.

 

Not sure if i got it right acoustically , but did fury said in the press conference ( again ) he would fight ngannou in the octagon ?

 

No you're absolutely completely 100% wrong. MMA fighters are not mythical Marvel superheroes We have to stop the nonsense here. These guys get knocked out with glancing blows all the time in the cage. Grapplers and submission artists get knocked out with punches constantly so would a professional puncher have a decent chance of winning? Yes he would.

Within recent memory a WWE play wrestler won the UFC Heavyweight title easily. That wasn't ancient history that was like 10 years ago. That's all. Let's stop the nonsense.

You could also say that boxing rules saved Francis from getting knocked out in one round because Tyson Fury had to wear boxing gloves.

MMA rules actually allow somebody like Francis to prevent striking from happening, to tie up somebody's arms and drag them to the ground to do anything but strike. You can actually get accolades from scooting your ass around the cage and "win" in some version of that. Ridiculous.

So sick of the hype and propaganda - frat boy Joe Rogan tier nonsense surrounding the skills of these MMA fighters.

Very few of them are good at multiple disciplines (usually they are good at one and mediocre at another), we see them get knocked out with what looks to be sloppy and or glancing punches.

 

No don't you understand, the propaganda says that MMA fighters are these bulletproof invincible guys who are more akin to DC comics superheroes or Greek gods. We have certainly never seen one MMA guy get knocked completely cold by what looks like a glancing blow. We haven't seen a professional boxer like Butterbean, even venture into MMA and have several wins including by submission. Oh wait a minute, yes we have!

 

Fury bottled that a bit

 

BS.
Tyson Fury would eye gouge him quick.

 

While WWE is fake, the wrestler in question was a real wrestler. Also that was the worst period of the worst division in the sport. Said wrestler remained relevant as long as he did because the biggest stars in MMA wanted to be paid much better money for an easy win.

A boxer needs serviceable takedown defense for their boxing to matter. If they have it they can do quite well in MMA. But that is something they absolutley need. And to a lesser extent they need submission defense to survive if that takedown defense fails.

Francis and to an extent the entire UFC HW division predominantly box in a way the rest of the sport does not. Francis grappled against Gane but by and large he and most of his opponents are going into the fight looking to knock someone out quickly with their boxing. As a result Francis's MMA training would be considerably closer to that of a boxer. HWs need a grappling game as insurance so its not an obvious weakness to be exploited but otherwise their MMA careers are spent preparing for very quick boxing matches.

 

Thought the same.

You know, if Ngannou cranks up that left hook and takes out Joshua on Friday, and a super fit (which he is) Tyson Fury stops Usyk in the middle rounds in their unification, like he predicted he would ...

Fury-Ngannou II is going to be INSANE. Just a monster. Because these two can really sell a fight.

But we're going to have to sit tight and wait a WHOLE year for Fury-Ngannou II ... because Usyk and Joshua BOTH have rematch clauses.

I just hate rematch clauses.

 

I can give you numerous examples of Pro MMA fighters losing real fights on YouTube.
I can give you zero examples of Pro boxers losing real fights on YouTube.

 

Fury will box a storm in a Francis rematch

If Fury stops Usyk i'd expect Usyk to retire
