    One more week and this Fury/Ngannou hangovers will be over.

    Not a huge fan of this punching bag division, thank Buddha.

    BTW, why do they pronounce Ngannou with a G? Ngannou is pronounce like in Nottingham, "ngham", or in singer, "nger."

    Unfortunately, the "ng" is not listed in the English alphabet, but it exists in other countries: nga, nge, ngi, ngo, ngu... It's a silent "g."

        Should be Alvarez vs Benavidez on Cinco '24. If David wins and that fight doesn't happen the wbc is corrupt af

          Ngannou you mean as in sing-along, singalong, sing-a-long, "si-NGA-long." You don't pronounce sing-a-long with a g as sin-ga-long...

            Let's see how the media can influence the negotiations to start rolling.
            - - Even a monkey know any fight proposal for Craw goes through Arum, and even the village idjit hanging out at the Quik Pik know there no $$$ nor no legacy in fighting Craw. If U slip him a quart of Colt 45 he'll let you know.

            Even the Khan rematch pays more than Craw. U even old enough to buy Colt 45?

              Arum and Craw have parted ways a year ago.

                The "ng" is a regular consonant in many non-English speaking countries. The sound exists in many English words like singer, ****er, ganging, longing, etc. The G is silent in all of those words.

                You don't separate them like N-Gannou. It's Nga-nnou. You don't hear the G in the word "longing," for example, but you hear it in the word "longitude."

                  It maybe silent, but it exist when spelled and it's pronounced entirely different. You don't say lo-ning for longing, si-ning for singing, which dismisses the silent g proposition altogether.

                      I really hope not.
                      Crawford hasn't even fought at 154 yet.
                      Would love to see him in with Tszyu or Charlo though but unfortunately we'll probably get the Spence rematch.
