Ngannou is NOT Derek Lewis

[TCE]

I agree, Lewis at least lasted a couple of rounds with Game. Ngannou gets flattened in the first

Which "Game"?

Oh, you mean Gane? The man that hasn't "flattened" anyone "in the first" round since his debut?

 

[Poirierfan]

Most of the time, my only research before placing a bet is spending less than a minute looking at who the two fighters have fought and how they've done against those fighters and their different styles. Then I'm just looking to see how they've done against mutual or similar opponents. It gets pretty easy from there, and even more so in WMMA.

Easiest job I've ever done haha.

I over think things too much when I bet, I should probably take up your style for a bit to tell you the truth. I was doing pretty good for about a year, then I had some bad luck so now I'm taking a break.

 

[xhaydenx]

Bumgannou is one of the fuckin funniest things I ever lol... thanks for the laugh sir.

You're welcome, bro. I write dumb, vulgar jokes for money, so this nonsense is second nature for ya boi.

 

[spinup]

Agreed. Lewis' biggest weaknesses are not technical. They're work rate and endurance.

It's also technical. His rear hand is pretty much is only weapon and he loads it too much. That's what allowed Gane to trade in the pocket with him: he knew he only had to defend the right hand.

Lewis' bread and butter is to throw the kitchen sink when his opponent is fatigued, distracted, confused, that's how he get away with sloppy punches that would miss otherwise. He will play possum, wait for fatigue or destabilize his opponent with a jumping kick/knee, then land the big punches. He's the best opportunistic puncher.

Mate, yeh. When I started, I put $500 on a 4 leg multi. Did about 30 mins research on the day of the fights. Did nothing but multis for the remaining 5 months of that year. That $500 was suddenly 21k within 3 months. I was soon doing a 3k multi every weekend and nothing else. Overall stakes wouldn't have even been 50k and I made around 45k profit for the 5 months.

Then this current year I got serious and started learning. I was doing singles and lots of of thought and re-watching fights for research. I bet close to 250k all up in stakes and only made 5k profit lol. Was overthinking things way too much.

Quick picks and single multi was the way for me. I'm sure you can guess what my approach will be come 2022 haha.

That's sweet, man. I personally needed a break from betting. I'll hit you up when I get back into it.

I'm seeing more and more this sentiment that since Cyril clowned BB, he's gonna do the same to Ngannou. Where the fuck is that coming from?

Ngannou has significantly better technical striking than Lewis, and is far faster and more durable. I don't think we've even seen him rocked, and he crossed the cage in a heartbeat to take out Roz.

Gane is going to have to fight an absolutely perfect game for at least 3 rounds, but more likely 5 as ngannou has never been stopped.

As an aside to that, Cyril is an awesome kickboxer for a HW, but his defense is based on his footwork and reach. He keeps his hands low and doesn't move his head much, and that seems like a bad recipe against Ngannou.

All in all, cyril definitely has a solid chance at winning, but writing off Ngannou is absolute insanity.

striking technique - no, he doesn't
faster - Yes, I agree
more durable, never seen him rocked - lol, Lewis has twice as many fights and has fought some powerful punchers, not old Reem, old Arlo, old Cain, old JDS.

Also, Lewis has better cardio.

I do agree that "writing off Ngannou is absolute insanity", just like you guys did in Stipe vs Ngannou 1... remember? "He is so big, so powerful, Stipe will die."

Writing off any fighter is stupid - see GSP vs Serra and many others

 

[spinup]

more durable, never seen him rocked - lol, Lewis has twice as many fights and has fought some powerful punchers, not old Reem, old Arlo, old Cain, old JDS.

Old JDS... seriously? JDS starched Lewis 3 months before fighting Ngannou.

Also, Lewis has better cardio.

No he doesn't. He last a bit because he often just stand doing nothing. When a fight lasts, he quits.

 

[Xoleth]

Old JDS... seriously? JDS starched Lewis 3 months before fighting Ngannou.


No he doesn't. He last a bit because he often just stand doing nothing. When a fight lasts, he quits.

Yeah, old = not in his prime. Starching Lewis? Yeah, so? Even when you are not in your prime, you can win some fights.

Volkov, Shamil and others... he finished them in R3, R4... I said better cardio, not great/top cardio

 

[MeatWagon06]

BREAKING!!!!!!: Francis Ngannou is NOT Derrick Lewis!

 

[xhaydenx]

That's sweet, man. I personally needed a break from betting. I'll hit you up when I get back into it.

Feel free, mate. Always happy to talk bets or help share my approaches.

 

[spinup]

Yeah, old = not in his prime. Starching Lewis? Yeah, so? Even when you are not in your prime, you can win some fights.

Cut the BS. You say Lewis is more durable because he has faced powerful punchers and not "old JDS"...when he faced the exact same old JDS and got destroyed.
Which powerful puncher in his prime has Lewis faced?
Hunt, way mast his prime and Lewis got finished.
Ngannou, nothing happened.
JDS, past his prime you said, Lewis got smoked.
Nelson, past his prime.
Travis Browne, past his prime

Volkov, Tybura, Ivanov, Latifi, Shamil, Gane are not powerful punchers.

Volkov, Shamil and others... he finished them in R3, R4... I said better cardio, not great/top cardio

So being less efficient is a proof of better cardio... sherdog logics at its finest.

 

[Yellowcardeeo]

I personally think BB vs. Ngannou was staged. Dana did not want to pay them what the fight was worth so they both play fighted each other for three rounds to a lackluster decision due to Dana's cheap @ss.

Don't believe me, take a look back at Houston Alexander vs. Kimbo Slice. I can guarantee the same sh!t happened when that joke of a fight that was supposed to be an absolute standup war played out years ago under Dana's penny-pinching eye.

 

[StonedLemur]

You're welcome, bro. I write dumb, vulgar jokes for money, so this nonsense is second nature for ya boi.

I've heard him called a lot of things but that one is tops lol.

 

[knees2ribs]

Originally was leaning towards Game but I think he gets starched by Big Franky

 

[ZipZito]

Well I'm glad I learned something today. Francis Ngannou is not Derrick Lewis. Thank u for that

 

[Royce's Gi]

Ngannou is NOT Derek Lewis

He isn't?


Thought he was great in Pulp Fiction

Denzel Fishburne in Pulp Fiction

 

[Jason7227]

Looking at Ngannou's losses I don't see a case for a knockout. It may go 5 rds Dec loss for N but he won't be beaten into a cowering state.

Again as someone mentioned N needs to be perfect for one second...

 

[TheBulge]

Shertards are clueless idiots, the other day I had the same conversation with a mod and he would cling on to one fight: The Rozenstruik KO as his example that Ngannou is just a windmilling crude fighter. Ignoring the rest of his career.

Lewis has a talent for setting up a KO punch and is good at finishing but other than that, he is the worst technical HW in years despite his success. Ngannou is light years ahead in combinations, counter punching, footwork, angles and everything else.

 

[ZekaPeka]

Gane will have 5 rounds with ngannou and his only way to win is getting decission.
I just dont see it, unless you wrestle ngannou or dirty fight him cain style, he wont be beaten by such one dimensional fighter as is Gane. Even if ngannou has troubles in stanup, he can wrestle Gane and destroy him with gnp.

I dont bet but this time I am confident in my pick. There is only sceptic for Ngannou to throw fight on purpose and go Boxing which is not unlikely. Make deal with 3d party , bet on Gane and cash in
