    Yes sure, Ngannou was deliberately brutally knocked out and put on oxygen, Joshua was the real deal.

    Why wouldnt I be alright - crazier stories have been done in boxing, and Saudis, when not choping journalists, are sketchy bunch

    Nagnaou didnt offer no resistance - and nobody is suspicious of that, he went down like he was made of straw

    Even when you look at KO, it was telegraphed hit that impacted just at the right angle and Naganou foolishly didnt have his guard at that moment. He didnt expected to be put to sleep.

    FIrst knockdown was fake as hell

    I think you need to stop watching boxing buddy, it might be a tad bit too complicated for you. Ngannou got brutally KO'd because he couldn't react to feints at all, he takes punches full on because he can't roll with the punches. This is a technique learned by boxers early in their career, it's not something you can learn over night.

    Nobody asking u to buy it!!!

    Very easy to be hit as he wasnt in his own sport!! Fury's lack of prep made N'gannou look way better than he is.

    No disrespect but as to it being a dive, absolutely not.

    Also, as to being outboxed, the overriding feature was Ngannou’s susceptibility to the right hand, magnified by Joshua having a helluva right hand.

    Ngannou didn’t look bad for about the first two mins, landed a few shots but then he over confidently and unwisely switched to southpaw and BOOM, he got caught, went down and never really fully recovered after that.

    Trivial yes, but I noticed that Ngannou was still cognisant and mindful enough to avail himself of 8-9 counts upon the first 2 KDs - some seasoned pros actually forget to do that with the shock of their first KD or any KDs - but of course the initially required cognisance wasn’t there upon the last KD.

    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. :D
