*** Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou Aftermath Discussion MEGA THREAD ***

[MrJPayne]

Ngannou got a little too comfortable in there. Switching stances and all down hill from there.

Hope no more of this boxing vs mma shit for a while unless it’s the boxer crossing over.

 

[HHJ]

At the end of the day Francis made more in two boxing fights than two UFC careers combined. Good for him. He might actually retire now instead of fighting in PFL.

I think he will go there. Try to end his career on a high note.

Jon Jones fans finding a reason to log onto Sherdog tonight lol.

Been awhile

 

[Pepy]

damn went down like rashad

there is definitely a shadface somewhere in the second knockdown, before the KO. I saw it.

 

[usernamee]

Ngannou has money now. He's nearing 40. Time to retire and not get greedy trying to catch more money bags for CTE. Build your businesses and enjoy life.

 

[Khaiser]

The look of shock on francis's face when he felt the punch from the first knockdown

Huge difference in power between elite boxers and punchers in MMA. People like to pretend otherwise, but it really shouldn’t come as any surprise.

 

[Poatan Power]

Oof. He got his clock cleaned 3 solid times

 

[HHJ]

Jon Jones fans finding a reason to log onto Sherdog tonight lol.

Been awhile

They crawl from under their rocks like REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[bongwater]

this what happens when you bite the hand that feeds you!

 

[flektarn]

What if Francis loses his mojo like he did after losing to Stipe? He might actually lose to some PFL bum now.

 

[JustforBROCK]

Unfortunatley even if he is confident, he might not be able to take punches the same now.

One punch doesnt do that. the whole idea of a guy chins 'cracking' or whatever is about damage over time most cases. Has big as that punch was it was probably the best big punch to take IMO, straight on. His head didnt even snap back, and it wasnt one of those wild hooks where his head shakes back and south a hundred times before he hits the ground. I think the mental part is the biggest part to worry about considering how he reacted to losing to stipe the first time.

Well anyone knows AJ has power,but its also the technique and Francis lack of fundamental defence to deal with that kind of power.

 

[chiefwiggum]

Everyone thinking Jones ran from Frank suddenly realizing Fury was either scripted or fury was drunk .

That was the biggest mma he fight in some time. Jones is the goat fighter but he’s not kill shitting anyone.
And jones would get absolutely killed by fury Joshua and Ngannou in boxing.

 

[Vandil]

So many of you are dumb as fuck.

Kind of like you

 

[Staph infection]

Fury fucked up. Too much clowning, not enough preparation. He took Ngannou lightly, and Ngannou was better than he thought he would be, and probably hit harder too.

Based on talent, experience and power alone, he should have been able to do what AJ did tonight.

I wish Ngannou would have slept Fury just because of Fury taking the fight lightly.

 

[ILove4MinutesHyuna]

Now we know why they took Francis out of the boxing gym

 

[LampShade94]

Jon Jones would maul Ngannou. Prime Brock also beats him handily

Based on this boxing match? Jones and Brock wouldn't have lasted 30 seconds against Joshua.

I think also he didn't even see it coming. So it's the "oh shit, I got dropped and I don't even know what the fuck it was... this ain't gonna be good"

Wasnt just one punch and Yeah well why do we know he has a good chin? cos we seen him get blasted before right? So thats damage over time. And well he took 3 knockdowns in a short amount of time here,and he got knocked the fuck out.

 

[markg171]

It doesn't matter vs someone that doesn't have grappling training. Obviously any good MMA fighter would beat Joshua in MMA, unless Joshua trained for it.

MMA fans love to imagine "What If" scenarios where MMA fighters use their entire skillsets instead of analyzing fights based on how they'll *actually* happen based on the fighters involved and how they *actually* fight.

Randy was always going to take down Toney and avoid striking with him entirely. Ngannou is going to strike with a boxer. That's how he fights.

Ngannou is only shooting for a TD AFTER he gets lit up on the feet. And we saw tonight just how quickly that might occur.
