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

duke_droese said:
Francis should have really refused to fight any more boxers after the Fury fight unless it was under MMA rules.

His mystique would have increased and long term he'd have kept making money. Now he got meme'd and the chin might be cracked forever so he'll lose against bums in MMA.

Why the fuck would any relevant boxer agree to fight him in MMA?
 
Boxing is such a mess when it comes to media, why are some many people walking behind Francis, pushing eachother, talking loudly during a press conference?

This is the outcome it should have been with Fury also.

In the case of Joshua, he was throwing straight, crisp, snappy, solid punches ... whereas (when Ngannou astually threw at all) Francis' punches worldwide and sloppy.

Moreover, Joshua's stance was tight and proper, while Ngannou's hands were low, and his elbows wide out.

Pro vs. amateur hour is what the fight was, with two behemoths.

Not really sure what happened with Tyson Fury, if it was a "carry" or of Tyson just had a bad night, but the Joshua fight is what should happen when any amateur hunter faces top-level boxing professional.

Especially one who can punch.

I honestly think AJ beats Fury rather easily at this point.​

Go back to the first round of the Fury fight and you can see that Tyson rushed him right at the start of the round. I really think that he thought he was going to blow him out in a round and that it would be easy. On top of that it looked like he didn't train because he didn't think he needed to. He underestimated his opponent, badly. Joshua on the other hand was deadly serious, in fantastic shape, and took his time to set up his shots. He had a healthy fear of Ngannou and also had the benefit of being able to study the previous fight.

With all that said, the Usyk fight should tell us whether or not Tyson might just be over the hill as well.

After the Fury fight I figured that anyone who took the fight 100% seriously would have the potential to make Ngannou look like an 0-1 boxer and Joshua basically did that. No way anyone else watching the Fury fight would let themselves come in unprepared.

He got knocked out in a fight. Im sure hes down right now but the money is the reason he went over to boxing. He will be fine in a few days

So it was a mirage afterall.

Congrats to Anthony Joshua with a devastating, one sided victory over Ngannou. He easily exploited Ngannou weaknesses. Ngannou was plodding around and sloppy looking not sharp at all. While Joshua was very sharp, his punches looked crisp on to the point obviously. I don't think Ngannou can do well against not only the top 10, with even top 20 best HW boxers. He just doesn't have the sharpness and the quickness of his punches, he's too predictable. His fight with Fury was anomaly indeed. I'd be surprised if he goes back to fighting in boxing. That's if someone offers him millions, but I doubt that even.

Although saying that, Ngannou should hold his head up high. Because he accomplished his dreams of being a professional boxer. Good on him. But I suggest to stay with MMA now and just fight for the belt in PFL.

At least he didn't get KTFO by Ryan Bader
 
I loved boxing before mma, the amount of shit slung at the sport because of that fat lump fury underperforming on here was crazy

I knew and said on here Aj would absolutely murder him. I don't like Him but he is too professional to take francis lightly

I did think it would go past 6, but Joshua was just levels above and didn't mess about
 
Seems obvious now. I think the attempt at boxing overall was expecting to lose just for the money grab with a very outside "but what if" puncher's chance, but going the distance with Fury for sure gave him some false confidence, and he really thought he was going to win this one. He obviously convince quite a few people, because Joshua was only a -340 favorite, where Tyson Fury was a -1400 favorite. He's never been KO, dropped or even that badly rocked before, so he probably thought at worst he might get punched up and never lands a big shot and just loses a decision. I don't think many predicted that a huge guy with a granite chin would just get completely mowed down and KO'd that quickly.

Tried watching the post presser. The media asking questions weren't even mic'd up. The fuck is that?

This is the answer. He most likely thought a decision loss was the worst case scenario.

I knew he was going to get KO'd but seeing it actually happen was absolutely bonkers. So weird to expect something but still be shocked when it happens.

Really hope he takes some time off. Christ it was like one of those videos from china where the piston vaporizes the worker
 
look i dont care but he didnt look like someone who knew he was going to lose

dont let me even get started with dem rednecks who said "look how nervous joshua looks. nganno is so calm" you know that type of bullshit
