You cannot compare Gane to boxers.
That can only work for so long, it's 5 rounds and Ngannou isn't Lewis. Even Lewis was able to get him trapped against the cage a few times and had Gane having to turn his back and run. Lewis has no footwork and movement speed and he was able to trap Gane in moments. Gane has to fight the perfect fight. I think Ngannou will eventually trap him or get close enough and force Gane to fight. Which isn't Gane's usually fighting style so he'll gas quicker. As long as Ngannou doesn't have cardio issues he should be able to trap or catch him. 5 rounds is a long time to be running and trying to avoid power shots.
I'm stating that if ngannou blitzes, the guidelines are the same. And even gane who is very muey thai heavy, will still relegate to circling him into a counter right while facing a blitz forward.
Imo Francis has exactly 11 minutes before he slows down and gets picked apart as you had said.
I disagree, gane is the guy that can do that for 5 rounds. Ngannou will burn himself out within a round plus a few minutes (maybe) with this strategy
If anyone is gassing it's gonna be Ngannou.
If Gane fights a fight he's not used, meaning exchanging with Ngannou instead of picking his shots here and there he will gas. Like I said, as long as Ngannou doesn't gas he should be able to catch Gane. But if he does gas then yes Gane will start pulling ahead in the later rounds. Gane is very low output, he picks his shots and dances around most of the time.
This is quite the oxymoron.
He's low output, change his output he'll gas. He picks his shots and dances around most of the time instead. That's why he can do 5 rounds. He's dancing around fighters with no footwork/movement. So it's not really tiring him out.
