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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom had no issues with convincing his star boxer, former two-time heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, to fight MMA veteran Francis Ngannou. Joshua was initially being positioned to face former WBC champ Deontay Wilder in a long-awaited fight.

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.

Joshua should sc**** through on points and has the power to make an impact. But if anyone is going to hit the deck I’d say it will be Joshua, it’s hard to forget him falling around the ring , like a kid in a playpen against Ruiz and then refusing to fight on . Even though Ngannou is a boxing novice it will be the first time they have risked Joshua against a puncher since the Ruiz disaster , I can’t wait to see Hearns face at ringside with all the above info logged, wondering if his man is again about to bite the dust.

It's possible. Joshua has more experience, should have more skill and punches hard.

But then again Fury was expected to demolish him too...

Not many people said Wallin was weak before the fight though did they? They were questioning why Joshua would fight a tricky southpaw with only one loss against Fury, and that wasn’t a rollover. Then AJ wins every second, makes him quit in 5 rounds and suddenly Wallin is garbage and weak. Same old story.

Ngannou is getting boxed and blasted out. Fury is simply nowhere near as good as his fans think he is.

I don't think Fury realized he was in a real fight until he was already cut and dropped. He can say whatever he want but I don't think he trained seriously or gave Ngannou any respect. He also has a history of fighting down to his competition (like when Neven Pajkic dropped him or that awful 3rd Chisora snorefest). Joshua won't be surprised like Fury was. I've often been critical of Joshua but honestly I expect an easy knockout victory for him here.

Wallin is the perfect example of the smoke and mirrors method of boxing promotion. Hes just some random Swedish bum who got overrated because people couldnt get their head around how Fury (who was being hailed as some master boxer ATG) could look bad against him.

Regardless though, AJ is nothing special and this fight could easily end up being a Ruiz level disaster for him. This is the first time hes fought someone who is physically superior to him and Ngannou also might be the biggest puncher hes faced.

Nope, I don't remember anyone saying that. Plenty on here thought Joshua was the potential shock on the card.

Personally I thought Wallin would give him a hard time but that Joshua's quality and level of experience would show.

No point arguing about someone's level after the fact. Wallin was highly rated and being championed in here ahead of the fight. People should give Joshua credit for taking and then comfortably winning that fight.

I also thought Parker was a level above Wilder. It's funny to think that people on here were adamant that Parker was no good and couldn't live with Wilder. Now Parker is flavour of the month because he comfortably beat their guy. Parker is what he always was - a good fighter and upper half of the top 10 material. It's just that Wilder never really was that.

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.
