This fight between Francis and Gane will show early on who is going to win and here is how...

[true_fan]

We all know that Francis will use his blitz trademark right from the start so he can make a statement and also use his powers while fresh. So in a nutshell, Gane’s reflex’s, chin, power and positioning will determine who is going to win that fight really. We also know that Ngannou is willing to get clobbered in order to deliver his bombs.
So in my opinion and from what I saw, Gane will literally have 2 shots to make it or break it during the blitz and I’m leaning towards he will surprise Francis with a nasty elbow and a haymaker and stun him before he moves out of danger and basically beat him to the punch.

How do u see Ngannou’s blitz going against Gane, will he succeed or is it actually gonna backfire in his face literally?

Cyrile has a good chance of survival due to his movement. Just countering is not sufficient as we saw with Rozensthingy when he landed picture perfect counters.

Francis is gonna tear out his innards

Lol that one fight with bigi boy and francis will forever be considered goro. I don't think he even blitzes gane without an opening/without rocking him. He will most likely fight more calmly like he did against stipe 2

Yea, I think this too, but Ngannou has refined his technique, his destruction of Stipe exemplifies just how much he improved in all facets of the fight game.

Hopefully Ngannou will have more than the "blitz" tactic.

Ngannou will be calm and will have to use feints to deliver his patented Uppercut of Death ™.

 

[tritestill]

Don't think Francis blitz right away and we'll see more patient Francis like the second Stipe fight

Shit thread TS

Ngannou doesn't fight like Diaz anymore

I don't think it will show early on as TS eludes to. Gane has a very well rounded game. Ngannou is a KO guy with lots of power. The big difference in his last fight (Ngannou/Miocic) is he was a lot more patient.

Gane could very well get Ngannou to rush and throw bombs and take Ngannou out of his sort of newfound element and turn Ngannou into the guy he used to be. That can spell danger or lead to a victory for Gane...or visa/versa.

It should be noted that Gane had 3 fights in 2021 while Ngannou had 1 fight.

I think the first round will be like Ngannou/Lewis...and I just pray the entire fight does not turn out to be the same type of affair.

Either guy can win...super tough fight to pick in my humble opinion. I guess if Gane can stay upright for the first couple of rounds he will win.
