You deserve a ban for this thread

WE NEED AJ USYK 3

 

[RockyLockridge]

Could've retired as arguably the greatest HW ever.

Now everybody knows his best skill wasn't even the best in the world at that.

yeah but he's rich so..... Better to be overpaid then overrated

 

[JustforBROCK]

Wilder would've killed him.

Wilder swings to wide. If he had done that early Frank would have dropped him.

 

[Time]

Jones lacked the courage.

 

[HatKick]

One of the biggest demeanor/confidence shifts I've seen in awhile, went from big confident scary man to timid child insanely quick.

I mean the same happened in the first Stipe fight. He admitted to being traumataized after that for a good year or two. But I guess he was able to recover and learn because he at least didn't get knocked out. This time I don't think he can. Being the nail is just not in his nature.

 

[Mammothman]

one of the hardest punches i've ever seen. fucking damn.

No human would have survived that puch god damn...

 

[TheEagle-22]

Threw away an entire career for two paychecks.

lmao! He could fight in the UFC for 10 more years and won't make what he made tonight. He's set, Dana can fuck off.

 

[Ripp0ntare]

Went from a respected Champion to meme'd take your bag for getting slaughtered and go home.

 

[JayTeeM]

What he did to Stipe just happened to him

 

[Klippy]

I don't think Ngannou will be the same after that KO. jesus.

 

[Paul E Gensinger]

Had a gut feeling Ngannou was going down. 10 rounds of tape for AJ's camp to study. No element of surprise.


Still shocking to see Ngannou get sparked like that

Just shows that there's no such thing as an unbreakable chin. Anyone can get slept.

I said to no one in particular before the match that Ngannou can't be hurt.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

I hope Francis retires now. I got nothing but respect for him. He made plenty of money and now he can retire

 

[nostradumbass]

The betting line is probably going to move massively for Usyk now.

 

[Skarsgard]

I bet Dana watched this one.

 

[DecisionSplit]

Francis made a shit ton of cash but to see him flatlined like that was crazy.

It was obvious it was coming after the second knockdown. Why the ref let it restart was insane. Francis had no idea where he was after that and didn't even have his hands up properly. His right hand was behind his chin and he was just open to get crushed right down the middle.

 

[colorles]

Damn got fucked up.. if fury took it serious that would of happened the first time also

bullshit. of course that is going to be the narrative in retrospect but it is bullshit nonetheless

It's not gone, there's just levels to boxing.

chins do not just recover from that. and either way part of Ngannou's hype was that we have never seen him knocked out or even seriously hurt; now that it is obvious to the fans that he is human, he will lose many of those fans.

I think he should take his money and retire. after a knockout like that it only gets worse if he continues fighting

 

[GolovKing]

Not to take anything away from AJ, I bet on him by KO even if I thought it might be 6 onwards.

But I think a good portion of Francis' chin is simply how well trained he is. People forget that he fucked off ahead of Stipe 1 and got the absolute shit kicked out of him. That was the real worse we've ever seen him take shots before this.

Leading up to this fight he had the exact same "I'm God" attitude, and gassed after only a single round. The rest was history, even if that was a nuclear bomb of a final shot.

It's not like his chin failed him against stipe though. He just got schooled and gassed out

 

[ehxsur]

whos the dork in your av

doostin dad

 

[Odoylerules22]

Jones is probably p4p the weakest hitter ever.
