Comments Thread For: Hearn: Joshua Demolished Wallin, I Believe He'll Do The Same To Ngannou

"I have always thought it was the biggest fight out there". What?? The cogs were turning on who he could schmooze.
It reminds me of when the Klitschkos caught Don King pretending to play a player piano.

Fury has lost atleast three times if not 4 times!(4th is wallin fight) against McDermott which was the biggest robbery in British heavyweight history, the second loss was against wilder on the long count, the third was another robbery against an ex mma fighter who was 0-0-0 as a pro boxer LOL
And I agree with Hearn, wallin stopped him.
as I’ve said all along, fight credible opponents but there’s no point, the diddycoy has fought an ex mma fighter and lost, where does that leave him as a heavyweight? A prospect? All this talk of greatness is just shocking, I just can’t believe boxing people really say this rubbish.
he beat wilder twice and that’s it. Joseph Parker just beat him too! All this smelly diddycoy talk, that he took the fight out of wilder is tosh!
wilder just isn’t a boxer, fact. (As shown by Joseph Parker who isn’t very good either!
I think usyk will expose the smelly and show the level he really is at (like ngannou did) and demolish the kunt.
don’t forget, two cruiserweights flattened the smelly with single shots and evander Holyfield was a cruiserweight too and look what he did in the heavyweight division. so anybody questioning that part is bollocks, and hopefully, hopefully the smelly will go hide in a caravan somewhere “ooop north” and stay quiet, and his blobby dad.

I think in the McDermott fight, John found out pretty much in the dressing room that a close relative had died too. (Not a joke).

Eddie means it’s the easiest fight for the biggest bag. Don’t trust a word this fool says.

Tyson Fury should of made his fight vs Francis Ngannou 'A 12 round fight'.

I still really don't rate Ngannou's endurance 'I believe boxing endurance, due to its stand up nature. Puts a different type of constant pressure upon mixed martial arts fighter'.

Ngannou vs Fury was not a high paced fight, still? Ngannou should of pressured Fury more once he was hurt 'But he did not'.

If Ngannou vs Fury, would of been a 12 round fight 'I believe Fury could of fought in those two remaining rounds, much more intensely than Ngannou'.

That may of been enough for Fury to legitimately win the fight 'Because over the 10 rounds distance? Fury did not win the fight, Francis Ngannou won over the 10 rounds on fight night'.

Note: I don't envision Joshua bulldozing Ngannou, and? I think those tactics would be silly. Joshua due to his solid fundamental skills, world level punching power, and proven boxing ability 'I believe Joshua can systematically beat down Ngannou'.

Avoid wrestling on the inside, keep the fight at mid to long range 'Lets see if he can really box, without any breaks or grappling on the inside'.

Put Ngannou and his team in a position, where they have to decide? Do we let this man go back out for another round 'To be prolong this type of beat down'.

That is the type of performance, I am expecting team Joshua to be working on 'As we speak'.

Ironically, how Joshua has been developing as a fighter since his loss to Ruiz Junior I.E Improving his mid to long range game, being more efficient and measured with his punch selection, pace management, improving his ability to anticipate 1, 2, 3 moves ahead into the fight'.

It is these area's of Joshua's game, which he needs to use vs Ngannou.

If he uses those area's of his game vs Ngannou 'I believe Ngannou will struggle, and will not know what is going on'.

Anthony Joshua is not Tyson Fury, there are no glitches in Anthony Joshua's long to mid range boxing skills 'Joshua for the most part, has very good fundamentals and is not prone to making unforced errors like Tyson Fury'.

Tyson Fury may have the ability to box to a very high level for periods 'But then there are always moments in his fights, where his skill level just completely disappears. Unforced errors, clumsiness, technical calamity, Fury has always been this way'.

Hardcore Fury fans, and people who have watched his entire career 'Will all know this'.

That was why? On the night Ngannou vs Fury fight was happening 'I did not really involve myself in many of the discussions surrounding the fight, but I knew? That there was a medium to high level likely-hood that Fury, at some points is just going to have a glitch in his game. And he can be whacked'.

Anthony Joshua if he comes into this fight vs Ngannou 'Not wanting to get hit. It will be extremely difficult for Ngannou to land on Joshua'.

People may mock Joshua 'But his boxing ability is proven'. Outside of Fury and Uysk, Joshua is the most component boxer at Heavyweight.

Very rarely can his opponents win rounds consistently against him, and Joshua has fought at a very high level 'Kiltschko, Ruiz I, Usyk I & II' That is it, those are only past Joshua opponents who were able win rounds against him consistently.

Really In Joshua's entire career only two fighters have been able to win rounds against him consistently 'Kiltschko and Usyk. Because Joshua won his rematch vs Ruiz Junior easy, potentially winning all 12 rounds. And if the third Ruiz Junior fight was ever made, Joshua most likely win's every round again'.

People like to pass over Joshua's last three fights, but he won 95% of the rounds vs Franklin, 95% of the rounds vs Helenius and scored a knock out, and then he won 100% of the rounds vs Wallin, eventually forcing a stoppage.

I stated a long time ago, the battle between the top-4 fighters in the Heavyweight division 'Is going to place major emphasis on each fighters long game'. Because the competition is a drawn out battle, and it is to see who will be the last man standing of this era'.

For me, Joshua both inside and outside of the ring 'Has the work ethic, and boxing fundamentals to at-least keep him in the fight. And this observation of mine, has already been proven correct to date'.

Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder 'Those fighters are all competing against each other, but also against time and the elements of life itself to be the last man standing of this Heavyweight era'.

In that sort of dynamic, commonsense tells me to side with or a least consider 'That a fighter with near psychopathic work ethic, a obsessive analytical nature, combined with solid boxing fundamentals athleticism. That type of fighter is going to be a danger, and a threat the more the competition prolongs'.

That description right there describe's Anthony Joshua, and Oleksandr Uysk most closely then followed by Deontay Wilder in part 'It does not from my observation, what we have seen historically describe Tyson Fury'.

We have just seen Wilder take a catastrophic hit and fall away, is Tyson Fury next? That could the trajectory etc.

Mystic Ed at his finest.
Wallin was a weak & slow sparring partner Aj knew & wasnt afraid of so he boxed with the confidence we haven't seen in year's.
Ngannou is a bigger natural version of Aj, Aj has to bulk up to 250 Ngannou cuts down to the 260s & we all saw has the fundamentals as he started as a boxer.
Aj should easily win at range, think Ruiz 2 but people will watch because the hardest puncher ever recorded can counter.

Yes I agree with most of this but AJ does have the potential to stop Ngannou - the guy can't box. He might be big but no one can keep taking hard shots. In MMA they get a rest from head shots at anytime they want. I have AJ 95/5 for this fight.

Also Ngnanou just lost his punch record by some margin. I don't necessarily believe that measure either because a lot of that is learning how to hit the machine in the right way. Also there is "fight power" No one gets to throw their hardest punch in a fight. It's more about how hard can you punch while remaining accurate and fast?

AJ does seem to struggle with guys with a good chin - Ruiz, Franklin (both of whom can actually box though) etc so might not be easy for him but he's experienced enough to change plans. Ngannou probably only has one plan here - go for KO. Then what if that doesn't work?
