Could Alex Perierra beat francis Ngannou?

[Bearknuckle]

Dude is about francis’s height and big af too. He has also fought at LHW before. If he doesnt cut and just bulks up a little, could a 245lb periera show ngannou some real striking skills?

 

[VinceArch]

No.

 

[Tweak896]

Yes if he can transform like Ubereem did when he crossed over to HW.

 

[Raptors2019]

Doesn't matter. Ngannou is retired.

 

[dont_axe]

Yes if he can transform like Ubereem did when he crossed over to HW.

that would be fuckin awesome

 

[spinup]

Ngannou would dwarf him, he is 290 outside camp, taller and longer reach.

No

Dude got rocked by Izzy. Francis would decapitate him.

 

[Fight Professor]

It is possible but extremely unlikely. Alex is hittable and Ngannou also has a better ground game.

 

[Fact Checker]

He’s got the frame to bulk, and a long frame even by HW standards.


I have no doubt that he would tool Ngannou on the feet. The TD’s would be the question.

 

[cereal gan]

ngannou will bum rush and ko him in 15 seconds
alex is not stopping 290lbs of destructive power

I dont think francis will shoot

 

[campbecc]

If Ngannou stands with him then yes it is possible, there have been HW boxing champions Pereira's size. But Ngannou could over power him in grappling if he wanted.

 

[Karelinator]

Yes, he could, but he likely losses like 90% of time, at least.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Alex crumples ngannou if ngannou can’t get a takedown

 

[GolovKing]

Doesn't have the elusive style to beat a bigger more powerful guy. Adesanya would fair better against ngannou than Pereira because Adesanya would be able to avoid ngannou at least for a while

 

[Aurelian]

It would be fun to watch for however long it lasts. Francis probably knocks him out because this fight is staying on the feet as long as Francis wants too. But yeah grapplers at MW, LHW, and HW are real threats.

No. I'm a fan of both fighters.

Pound-for-pound, Pereira is much better — but he doesn't have the physical density (muscle density, tendon density, bone density) to do anything to and Ngannou.

My best weight as a boxer was 147; my comfortable weight was 160. I walked around at 175.

Back in the day, I sparred Mike "The Bounty" Hunter, a small heavyweight, but a lot bigger than me.

The dude's hard jabs felt like a MW's right-crosses.

I had never been down in my life, but his right crosses (light, because we were sparring) felt like "KO attempts" ... even though I know he was sparring light.

Ngannouat full steam would flatline Pereira with the first clean hit.

 

[TJ177]

There's a reason he cuts down to 185.

There's also a reason why only Sherdoggers throw bricks at the big boys and not the guys that could run into them in real life.

Ngannou would dwarf him, he is 290 outside camp, taller and longer reach.

Alex was set to fight Rico Verhoeven, dingus
