3 Reasons Francis should actually be favored over AJ

[Bizmarke32]

After watching the film of the Fury/Francis fight, I actually believe Francis is the odds on favorite.

Here is why.

1. He is stronger than AJ, an experienced grappler, and wrestler, he will be able to wear AJ down in the clinches by the 4th round as AJ does not have a real gas tank, and panics when shoved out of his comfort zone.

2. He has heavy hands, it won't take much to shake AJ up, even a grazing shot, and once Francis has him in trouble, AJ won't have the stamina, the cojones, or the will to stand up after he is hurt

3. Francis showed surprising counter punching ability, especially inside, he has the hand speed, and surprising timing, these are among the ingredients to force AJ into a fight.



Just my two cents

Francis has a good chin. Whether or not it's as good as Andy's chin was, I don't know. Andy walked right through some of Joshua's best and countered him. Joshua is going to land some bombs, I feel certain. I'm not certain if Ngannou will be able to fire right back.

Those are all fair points, if AJ can't hurt Francis, or doesn't have the energy to keep him off of him, he is in BIG trouble.

One reason why he shouldn't;

He's no where near as good at Boxing as AJ.

You don't write Francis off but aj has proved more in boxing, that counts. But what ts is saying is Francis can win. And aj knowing that means he won't underestimate francis

[JakeTheBoxer]

He needs one good punch to make Joshua clueless again.

It's a good competetive fight and I struggle to pick a winner, I guess I'd shade AJ but it's nowhere near the betting mismatch I'm seeing.

I think AJ can win but he will need to fight a punch perfect fight, he's going to have to box, stay defensively responsible and sit down on his shots just enough, but not too much.

Its not an easy fight and Ngannou is not this scrub who doesn't know how to box, he showed high level IQ vs Fury, the guy is an elite combat sport fighter and a physical freak.

Really looking forward to this and wont be shocked at all if Ngannou wins.

People seem to forget that AJ floored Ruiz.

So basically instead of walking through, he was getting up from one of them

then Ruiz knocked him out. meaning Ruiz took his punch and he couldn't take a 5'10 fat toad's punches lmfao


Ngannou punches way harder.

It could be AJ vs Ruiz 2.
