One thing in Ngannous defence (scuse the pun) though, he made one easily fixable mistake vs Joshua and paid the price for it big time, that was of course switching southpaw for no logical ****ing reason whatsoever like 2 mins into the fight. Why on earth would you put yourself in a weaker less comfortable stance that quickly and against a guy who had not long ago gone 24 rounds with the most skilled Southpaw in the division?
He may well have lost in another way even if he hadnt done that, but going Southpaw for no reason and that early was what set the wheels in motion for him to get ****ed up. He was on the canvas within seconds of doing it. Its a shame for him because it was over so fast he never even got to test his power against AJs chin. If AJ had been less clinical and gotten into a sloppy firefight (ironically like he did when he got KO'd by Dubois) Ngannou might have been able to land something nasty.
