How the fuck Francis still want to box after that ?

[Volumes]

I swear his striking fucking sucks, that was so bad

 

[TheGreatA]

He doesn't. It's just a strategy to get himself paid more, by acting like he has more options than the UFC.

 

[ferrisjso]

Dollar signs.

Do you think he actually expects to beat Fury?

 

[Palestine Adesanya]

Tyson Fury plays with him like a Lion plays with his food.

stick to MMA. We’ve already had enough MMA fighters embarrass our sport.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

It’s all about money. One way or another he wants more money. I just don’t know if the UFC will re-sign him and allow him to box. If that’s the dealbreaker he may have to walk. It sets a bad precedent for the UFC to let a guy with Ngannou’s limited star power to dictate terms. Every champ will want that option.

What does Francis at most make from an MMA fight? $2-3 million after its all said and done with pay, potentional bonus, and endorsements. What does he make in a blockbuster boxing match? $10 million? $15? $20+?

A big boxing payday is a complete life changer.

 

[Tapatio]

All Francis needs is one big ass boxing payday and it'll be more than what he got paid by the bald multi millionaire goof

 

[2004 account]

His form might be loopy at times but it's been effective for mma and he did say he would get proper boxing training if he crossed over

Psssh.. Too slow and can't train his cardio. Wont last more than 2 rounds of constant punching

 

[DRTP91]

Any mid tier heavyweight would obliterate him. The top of the heap ( Fury,Wilder,Joshua etc…) would absolutely clown him.

Take the absolute best male boxer in MMA and put them up against the bottom of their division in Boxing and they will get violently knocked out early on unless their opponent carries them.

There are a lot more real athletes in boxing. Just a much larger cross section of the population. On top of that you have coaches and fighters that know every dirty trick.

The very best boxers in MMA know a couple of things from boxing and apply it but even bottom tier Boxers easily know 10x as much and have far more experience doing actual boxing in a ring. Ring vs Cage is very different. There's a whole art around trapping your opponent and using footwork to use the ring to setup shots. Virtually nobody that does MMA knows anything about any of it.

So yeah viciously knocked out early. That's what will happen.

The only reason The Spider has any success is because of his unique love and time invested specifically in Boxing and picking the right opponent.

Honestly women might actually have a shot vs ranked female boxers if they aren't physically shot from all the MMA training but not the men.

 

[Mongoose]

Frank vs Wilder might be a fun fight, other than that I just see Frank look terrible.

The reason why women fighters would have a better shot is because female boxing is terrible in comparison to male boxing. IMO WMMA has the more skilled competitors than Women's boxing.

UFC doesnt care, they much rather jones champion

 

[arcadeperfect]

Money, which at the end of the day is what every prize fighter wants. He's 35 years old and wants to secure a life changing payday. Considering his story and where he comes from it's real easy to understand why he'd want a boxing match.

 

[gangbanger]

boxer wins boxing match
MMA fighter wins MMA fight

 

[hswrestler]

At this rate he's gonna be boxing Logan Paul or Lamar odom

 

[6 Pack Lapadat]

He had two bad knees homie. Still won. Relax. As if everything he already did doesn't exist now.

That's because there's no money in women's boxing

Ya but 4 oz gloves and a lot of their tricks that they know can't be used, and they can be KO'd in one shot.

On the other hand, Tyson Fury is gigantic, Ngannou is only 6'4, not exactly a fair fight.
