When Ngannou set himself up to be KO'd...

Yes, in particular switching to lefty like that so carelessly and early in the fight really accelerated the inevitable IMO.

It was because he turned Sth Paw, the right hand straight down the gun barrel is kryptonite for a Sth Paw, Francis was trying to be what he isn't and paid the price, that was a straight rookie move he made.

That KO gave me this weird satisfaction. It was kind of like watching a r3tard get knocked out. The ending was twisted and the evil side of me wanted to see him not get up.

As soon as AJ landed his first clean punch Ngannou was going to be in big trouble.

A non boxer can't stand up to that kind of punch power.

Tyson doesn't have that, and has a more slippery boxer esque style which was always going to buy him time, albeit Fury should have taken him out aswell all things considered.

But stylistically, AJ was always going to splatter him early in my eyes.

His mouth was open and AJ hit him hard square in the mouth and chin...nobody can take that. It took a lot of heart to stand up after that, but it would be all in vain. AJ saw that open mouth and heard...cha-ching!!

that southpaw tance was full ******. the key to a southpaw stance is the right straight.

AJ has the best right straight in boxing. just a complete ******.

it worked against Fury cus Fury has a slow rear hand and doesn't have a fast right straight.

Don't disagree but I also don't think it made much of a difference, he was getting dropped by the first big clean punch either way in my opinion.

All respect to Ngannou though.

It happened right here in the 1st round. Ngannou stood there with that MMA "palms out, hands wide apart" style defence (or lack of defence), with his mouth wide open just begging to be hit. Joshua saw his opened mouth and just fired his best shot easily through his hands. Ngannou never recovered from that 1st KD, which set up the 2nd KD and final death blow. His lack of experience was easy for Joshua to see, and he took full advantage of it.

Mouth open seems to be part and parcel of him. It's open the moment they start fighting
