Ngannou won

[TMLT87]

If Ngannou makes AJ look bad as well, which is very possible, AJ will get thrown under the bus like Fury did and it'll be "well the 40 year old Chinese dude would have stopped Ngannou in the first round".

Well that’s a lie ,I said in fact at the beginning he can’t fight him bc the amount of hate he’d get……

Joshua is to big of a name to have fought him initially bc it didn’t make sense so why did Fury fight him in a non title fight holding belts ?

The problem with you every time you try and prove me wrong I got receipts on fact I think this is the best fight for Joshua to corner Fury in the event it lines up ..but I like your energy just wrong all the time when you address me .

And I said he’d never take the fight bc I knew what was actually said which was Ngannou had to make a name for himself first as a ranked guy bf Joshua fought him ..not so much for Fury though right ? Lol

Awhile back you told me Joshua twice was asked about it when i said there was rumblings of it. You shot me down. Come on man. You know you did say those things…

Joshua has never talked about fighting Ngannou and was asked twice about it if he would be interested . If he wanted Ngannou would have fought him months ago bc he was offered that fight first .

Hearn discussing it doesn’t mean Joshua is and has shown no interest In it ,Hearn himself said Joshua doesn’t want gimmick fights unless Ngannou becomes a legit ranked boxer so I don’t know what to tell you ?

I tagged you in both... A lie eh? I give you your due when you are correct & have no issues admitting when I'm wrong but you seem to have a real issue doing the same... Oh so now that the WBC gifted him a #10 ranking for losing he is now that ranked guy?

I don't begrudge Ngannou getting another nice pay day after exceeded expectations against Fury, but this fight is still a thumbs down from me for several reasons. I think there are at least a couple of other fights out there -- maybe three or four -- that make more sense for Joshua beyond the cold, hard cash of this one. The whole endeavour is purely mercenary. There's always a mercenray element to fights, of course, but this one has almost zero genuine sporting appeal.

It's pretty obvious they're tryna build momentum and clamour for Joshua Vs Fury... Gotta respect the tactics, Joshua dispatched Wallin much better than Fury, if he does the same with Ngannou, then perception will turn back in Joshua's favour for the first time in ages with some...

Plus it's a good fight and great event.

Getting Fury vs Usyk for undisputed, then this a month later. Can't knock it.

Personally (doubtful) I'd like the predator to win, I'm fed up with it.

Why do people keep on about Fury Aj? Ajs ducked Fury twice just last year. If Fury beats Usyk once or twice it'll be Hrgovic then Zhang next.
Even if! Hrgovic Aj fight for the empty ibf belt it's still Zhang next & the money isn't it in the UK to pay Saudi money. But there's a billion people to charge ppv in China.

Joshua will KO Ngannou or beat him up badly. That ramrod jab will beat the hell out of the mixed martial arts guy. Ngannou also doesn't have a steady pressured pace to his fighting..There will be a lot of spots for AJ to grab a breather in this fight, IF he needs it.

Not a bad fight at all. I swear Boxing fans are never happy.

Boxings fans who post a lot on the internet you mean. Most of these people don't even pay for events so why would matchmakers care what they think?

[Arthur Daley]

Joshua to win by early KO.

[NYG]

The fact that boxing "fans" are saying this is a good fight shows you how awful the boxing fanbase is, brutal
