Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou - DAZN - Fight By Fight Thread

[Mash121]

Highlight reel KO's whilst Fury was making Wallin and Nganou some kind of dangerous contests.

Fury is having us all on. Come on folks, wake up.

Good fight. Francis fk up when he switched stances and went south paw, dudes an idiot for doing that.

As soon as I saw that, I knew AJ was going to make him regret it. Ngannou's inexperience revealed itself.

zhang will be 41 by the time of the rematch

Ngl the funniest thing in the world was Francis switching stances and the announcers started glazing him talking like he had nothing to worry about then BOOM lmao

Looking back, he never seemed to have much chance to win, but Ngannou really made a mistake even trying to box with AJ. he was thinking and measuring too much instead of just fighting instinctively. He gets dropped as soon as he switches stances, and then it was just a matter of time. Francis showed a ton of heart getting up twice from big shots, so plenty of respect to him for that. I’d still like to see Ngannou - Wilder though.

Ngannou is a top athletic fighter with frigging bazooka like power in his punches and solid boxing skills, wouldn't be shocked if AJ gets knocked down or stopped.

[kiaba360]

Wow, I forgot how much dormant power AJ has. Almost killed him.

People would pick Wilder against Joshua because the prevailing assumption was that Wilder had bigger one-punch power. But I always felt that AJ's power was on the same level, just that he didn't have Wilder's delusional arrogance. If AJ came in confident/focused against Wilder, Wilder wouldn't have the arsenal to beat him.

...then Joshua threw a punch that potentially no current HW was gonna get up from. Joshua held nothing back. I'm shocked that Ngannou turned southpaw when AJ has experience against them. I mean, he JUST fought and dominated Wallin. I'm not sure if it was inexperience or arrogance.

I think he was trying to get a lead hook over the occasionally lazy jab of AJ, but he was biting BIG on feints, and AJ's 1-2 is such a money maker, and Ngannou just didn't have tight enough defense.
