Ngannou might have no reign at all

Kinda like when Brock won the title and everybody thought he was unbeatable until he fought a short pudgy Mexican

Hard to say really as neither man had really faced anyone that similar to the other so far.

Ngannou hasnt faced someone who can pick away from range effectively, Gane hasnt faced someone who will really get in his face and force aggressive boxing exchanges.

My guess would be if Gane makes it though the first couple of rounds he probably wins a decision.

If Gane walks out of the first, his chances of winning have increased dramatically. Ngannou is a 2 round fihgter, so it they make it to the 3rd, Gane is winning this fight 90%. I see a finish over gassed out Ngannou in the 3/4th round.

You can't say Ngannou is scared of strikers just because the BB fight is the HW fight between top HW contenders of all time, they both just never let go.. both guys didn't get into that close striking range to let it fly, sometimes that stuff happens, but to say that Ngannou is afraid is strikers is just insane.. what about Rozenstruik? or Dos Santos? like come on .. Gane will be a tough matchup, and he may be taylor made to beat Ngannou, but Ngannou swinging wild arms is scary no matter the opponent, and now there is bad blood, angry Ngannou might be the first guy to knock out Gane in devastating fashion, I do agree with some of your other points, but Gane will have to fight a very smart fight he won't be going for the finish like he did against the BB, unless he just all out dominates in the later rounds with the Cardio.. That all being said, Gane definitely earned my respect with his last fight, but I'm not going to pretend like he walks over Ngannou, that would be dumb to do.. If you think Gane will win so easily lay the money down.

Gane is fighting smart, that much we know. Gas big Frank oit in the first 2, to finish the fight in the 4th.
 
Dana’s hissy fit and failure to market Francis will go down among his worst decisions, especially if he smashes Gane.

He’s literally got potential to be a superstar. Incredible highlight reel, jacked as hell, could play the immigrant, race card to the woke and he seems like an okay guy too but Dana is still sad that he made a comment about his pay and would, instead rather try to screw him.

Gane is stylistically the worst matchup for him.
-Muay Thai fighter whose skills are tailor made for brawlers or blitzers. BB didn't even touch him.
-Knows everything about Ngannou, he was his training partner.
-Ngannou is afraid of strikers, just look at BB fight.
-Ngannou has cardio for 2 rounds, Gane can go 5.
-Gane has never been KOd, so he can probably even take the blitz.

This is the classic text book striker vs blitzer, 8/10 times Gane wins this fight.

HW isn't destined to have a long time keeper of the throne.

Yeah i agree. I don't think Francis will be scared of Gane's striking although his leg kicks could dictate the fight if he can keep Francis thinking / 2nd guessing

Gane is another rozenstrike but more boringness he was 10-0 too then francis takes his head off no chin can survive Francis KO punch

Why don't you look at, say, his fights with JDS, Overeem or Rozenstrujk instead of cherrypicking the one clear outlier in his career?

Yeah that's so ridiculous. Gane gave a lot more respect to Rozenstruik's power than he did with Lewis because Rozenstruik is more dangerous. We all saw what Ngannou did of Rozenstruik's power, not exactly terrified.

To be fair against Stipe the second time Ngannou did show more than just an early blitz but if he hasnt landed well in the first couple of rounds I suspect its likely he won't at all.

Stipe took about a dozen of those punches though..

Stipe said, he felt Frank was getting winded...
 
To say he's afraid of strikers in a bit of a stretch...he had no hesitancy in engaging with:

Dos Santos
Arlovski
Overeem
Rosenstruik

THe first 3 had glass jaws and were 5-10 years past their prime. Only needed 1 punch to finish them off. Rosenstruk is the only one who is not shot.

But how does that mean he's afraid of strikers? All 4 of them are strikers aren't they?

BB has chin and a hard punch. Nganou was afraid to engage.
AA, Ecoreem and JDS have no chin and no 1 punch ko power.
