When Ngannou set himself up to be KO'd...

Dunno why he switched to Southpaw. Seemed so early and random and he paid for it immediately. That shot was the beginning of the end. I doubt he ever fully recovered from it, and on a psychological level it must have fully taken his confidence away. His lack of defence was frightening tbh.

Watching the final shot again, it’s frightening how Joshua wound up and put everything he had into that punch. He literally had zero regard for return fire, like he was punching one of those arcade punching bags with the meter. Ngannou, iron-chin and all, unsurprisingly crumpled into a heap. That punch would've felled an elephant.

It happened right here in the 1st round. Ngannou stood there with that MMA "palms out, hands wide apart" style defence (or lack of defence), with his mouth wide open just begging to be hit. Joshua saw his opened mouth and just fired his best shot easily through his hands. Ngannou never recovered from that 1st KD, which set up the 2nd KD and final death blow. His lack of experience was easy for Joshua to see, and he took full advantage of it. â {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","data-attachmentid":32195445} {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","data-attachmentid":32195446} Mouth open seems to be part and parcel of him. It's open the moment they start fighting

His mouth was open and AJ hit him hard square in the mouth and chin...nobody can take that. It took a lot of heart to stand up after that, but it would be all in vain. AJ saw that open mouth and heard...cha-ching!! Don't disagree but I also don't think it made much of a difference, he was getting dropped by the first big clean punch either way in my opinion. All respect to Ngannou though.

that southpaw tance was full retard. the key to a southpaw stance is the right straight. AJ has the best right straight in boxing. just a complete retard. it worked against Fury cus Fury has a slow rear hand and doesn't have a fast right straight.

As soon as AJ landed his first clean punch Ngannou was going to be in big trouble. A non boxer can't stand up to that kind of punch power. Tyson doesn't have that, and has a more slippery boxer esque style which was always going to buy him time, albeit Fury should have taken him out aswell all things considered. But stylistically, AJ was always going to splatter him early in my eyes. His mouth was open and AJ hit him hard square in the mouth and chin...nobody can take that.

That KO gave me this weird satisfaction. It was kind of like watching a r3tard get knocked out. The ending was twisted and the evil side of me wanted to see him not get up. Damn, that’s fxcked up.. lol

It was because he turned Sth Paw, the right hand straight down the gun barrel is kryptonite for a Sth Paw, Francis was trying to be what he isn't and paid the price, that was a straight rookie move he made.

Yes, in particular switching to lefty like that so carelessly and early in the fight really accelerated the inevitable IMO.
