AJ 100% is showing up for this fight. We will see how good Francis is in this one. I’m actually excited for this one.

His team can also analyze NNN now since they actually have seen him boxing and have footage to study (something Fury didn’t have).
Joshua isn’t the guy you fight to see how good you are this is a severe mismatch and possibly the worst style match up for Ngannou possible out of everyone.

I expect this to go 5 rounds tops with a personal belief it ends in 3 with two big trucks colliding ,when you get this type of match up someone has to usually fold fast and I don’t see it being Joshua .

Ngannou is very good but there’s levels .
 
Nice... I think AJ takes him out but I thought Fury was going to have his way with him. Then Fury came in fat and sloppy. AJ will not. He will come, in shape, and ready to fight. But we have seen in the past that he can be touched. I dont think he can take a shot from Francis. Im excited. AND its only in a couple of months. :)
I think Joshua takes him out as well. It may take more than one big shot though (ieg., drilling him with a heavy combo / following up). Joshua's been working more on his fundamentals, defense, and footwork. He didn't even get hit in his last outing. Joshua gave Wallin two cuts and a broken nose.
 
I just hope that Ngannou knocks out Joshua, so he can claim he defeated Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
That's for all the fuckery that boxing promoters have been doing for years now, preventing massive meetings from happening, most notably Deontay Wilder vs. Anthony Joshua.

Not really Joshua's fault though. He's the one who was willing to fight everyone at all times.
 
No way!!!! thats crazy!

damn, Francis is really gonna be tested here. AJ knows that Francis doesnt fuck around and he'll be training seriously for him. now we get to see what Francis is REALLY made of in terms of boxing.
however, i dont know if he'll make it the whole distance despite how good his chin is. i think we're gonna see Ngannou hit the canvas in this fight. im thinking AJ by either late TKO (rounds 8-10) or a UD.

props to AJ for agreeing to this fight. i like how he's open to facing pretty much anyone, even though im not a big fan of his.

also how the fuck is Dana gonna spin this without having to swallow his pride <Lmaoo>

I think it's AJ in <5 rounds.

Like you I think he'll take Francis pretty serious and won't want to play around in there too long.

I think he'll take a round or two to get a look and then get him the fark outta there.

I don't think AJ will have any hangups about pulling the trigger vs Francis. He may just be getting some momentum and self belief back vs these lower tier guys.

Did AJ say he wants 3 fights this year? Get rid of Francis quick and he may be able to do it.

That's how I see it. Joshua will take a round or two to get a good look at him as you said. From there he'll start breaking him down with hard straight right hand leads to the body (body stabs) and then set him up for the KO. Joshua isn't the most confident guy in the world but I think he has regained a lot of it, if not all. He'll pull the trigger alright but it will involve being selective and picking his shots. Once he hurts Ngannou he won't rush in recklessly, he'll finish the job patiently & methodically.

That's gonna be the million dollar question!! to the fans the more shock the better. but mostly the bookies and gamblers. We will find out if the rumors of fury treating the fight like a exhibition. not properly scouting training hell even his Ole man called him out for being so lackadaisical in the lead up

Or did frank seamlessly transition in to the elder of the combat sports

That could be quite the if once the odds drop

I'm gonna laugh if some how A.j ends up as a betting underdog


Apologies if anyone has done this rant. I opened to type

Joshua will be installed as the favorite and rightfully so. Ngannou really overperformed against Fury but that was a single occasion. Only so much stock can be put into it. There are still question marks with Ngannou boxing at this level.
 
Joshua has the weakest chin of any elite hw. It'll be hilarious if Francis catches him flush and puts his lights out
 
This is a very quick turnaround from the last card. 2 and a half months between fights for elite level fighters is almost unheard of nowadays
That Saudi money money is unheard of also, that’s why … nobody knows how long this is going to last …
 
I really thought Joshua would wait for the outcome of Fury vs Usyk. But I guess that big Middle East money makes shit happen.

This fight has zero effect on the other . Fury vs Usyk isn’t until next month ,fighting a month after the undisputed doesn’t change anything for Joshua’s plans bc regardless he won’t be fighting until June the earliest after Ngannou .
 
if this is really going to happen i would like to see the following:

Zhang v Wilder/Ruiz
Hrgovic v Parker
Usyk v Fury

then we can see where the land lies if the latter fight happens as i believe the belts will end up scattered so there is plenty of opportunity for the winners of the fights to fight for a belt

i still dont think Usyk v Fury will happen, its all gone far too quiet for my liking when we are only a month out from the fight

I’m not sure if there would be some sort of financial penalty if one of the fighters pulled out without there being a genuine reason like an injury? I’m guessing there will be, and if so that’s gonna be the reason it happens. It’s clear fury doesn’t want to fight usyk, but he may have no choice now?
