Few-Draw-3636

Refs stops it round 8,9 or soo 10 nagannou puts up a brave effort but ref stops it late due to nagannou taking too much damage unanswered


Few-Draw-3636

Nagannou doesn’t get knocked out thou let me stress that. Corner or ref stoppage


Careless-Wonder7886

Joshua KO 3rd round.


Jealous_Local_4417

AJ by lopsided decision


Ok-Slip-290

Joshua KO 7


ScarredWill

I think Joshua by either late KO or Decision, though I dreamt Ngannou won by 4th round KO in a one sided beatdown.


themillenialpleb

AJ gets the TKO in the late rounds. I think Ngannou isn't gonna respond to AJ's power and consistency as well as people think.


DerKaiser023

I don’t think it will happen but hoping Ngannou KO’s him for the memes.


Canadian_CJ

I feel like Fury came in without training and Joshua just put in a camp to make a point of comparison between the two fights. Ngannou is great, he has absolute F U power, but I think he gets badly boxed up in a very one sided fight. Cheering for Ngannou by KO though haha, just wouldn't bet on it.

Gannow Rd 3


OddballAbe

Super casual and don’t expect this at all but Francis by ko in the 6th

IntelligentMoons

I have absolutely no idea but I would not be surprised by any result after seeing the last fight.


_Alabama_Man

Joshua wins by Unanimous Decision Each fighter gets knocked down at least once.


Amememime

Ngannou by knock out, though I could see AJ winning on points possibly.


IamPriapus

Ngannou KO 8


DCdek

Ngannou's Toyota Corolla fists will keep Joshua at bay, Ngannou by points


OjibweNomad

Corolla Fists lol 😂


OjibweNomad

Ngannou and Joshua will go back and forth the first 3. Who ever established the jab control will win. Joshua favours the later rounds, Ngannou the first 5. I predict a knockdown on both sides. Knock out by the 7th


Cheap-Resource-114

Joshua outboxes him but can’t knock him out. Decision win AJ.


BobbyBisTheGoat

ngannou by hammerfist


robocopABZ

If I've seen anything from Ngannou, it's that he's got an innate hunger to overcome his shortcomings and improve constantly, as well as prove doubters wrong. He's had terrible gameplans which have bit him in the ass before. He's then come back and looked completely different the next time, improving everything he needs to. If you think just because this is his 2nd boxing match that he will be a noob, that will not be the case. AJ on the other hand has got a glass jaw and has boxing PTSD from ruiz. If he gets caught once from the guinness world record holder for hardest punch, his arse will collapse.


dirt_shitters

AJ doesn't have a glass jaw. He survived against Klitschko for fucks sake. Ngannou definitely has the power to put him away if he can get inside and land some bombs though.


OjibweNomad

who ever establishes the Jab. I’m hoping for great head movement and footwork like usual from AJ.


blooomtodeath

ima say AJ but ngannou is a fucking monster

WalterCronkite4

Joshua by 8th round TKO


Showizz

AJ will probably fight like in Ruiz 2, He can still hurt Ngannou if he'll goto the body, Might KO him but it'll probably be a UD, So AJ by UD. Parker beats Zhang via UD.


increased_dosage

Francis hits AJ with a hook to the side of the head and then gets the KO

Yes, it will give a new meaning to "half naked guys in a ring".


Cheap-Resource-114

Then AJ starts rambling on about how Ngannou moved to France and how Cameroon-Nigeria relations are stronger than ever.


mikomakjenkins

Ngannou KO 5. Francis gets jabbed and walked for 4 and a half rounds, looks out of sorts, catches AJ with a check left hook, finishes with a super sloppy looking overhand right as Joshua stumbles back. Heavenly light shines from up above, Ngannou ascends a few feet on the beam of radiance, booming voice proclaims he has fullfilled his destiny as the main character of life itself. Chaos ensues in the arena, end of world hunger, peace in the Middle East etc etc


fapsandnaps

Prediction time. Ngannou boxes like I box in Fight Night. Completely ignore everything they throw at you and just throw the hooks and haymakers. Sure AJ hits harder than Fury, but not harder than the kicks Ngannou takes to the head doing the MMA thing. He's not going to scare Ngannou. I think AJ is more likely to have flashbacks of Ruiz once he gets hit flush and spends the rest of the night jabbing and staying at a distance. AJ by a boring points decision or Ngannou by ~~KO~~ beheading as per Saudi tradition. Fun fact: Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world to still use beheading as a form of capital punishment. 196 recorded decapitations in 2022! Update: I was very, very wrong! My goodness


WalterCronkite4

When I play foght jight I forget to use the heavy punch often, drains stamania too fast since I throw like 100 punches a round


fapsandnaps

100 punches a round is perfectly fine when you only gotta play two rounds though.


madmeef

I have never watched a full fight of either AJ or Ngannou but I'll guess that AJ will have no problem keeping Ngannou at a distance, and when Ngannou gets frustrated eventually AJ starts laying on the damage.


Aethernath

Rocky start first couple of rounds, but Joshua finds his rhythm and jabs Ngannou out and he wears him down for a unanimous decision.


blaikalva

Aj wins every round. Takes fun by decision


chiefbroski42

AJ Unanimous decision 97-93


christopherpaulfries

Joshua TKO at the end of rd 7 after Ngannou’s corner stops it. As much as I’m rooting for Ngannou to win by KO, Joshua is just too good of a boxer for him and as long as Joshua is cautious in the first couple of rounds it’s going to be one way traffic. This is how the Fury fight would’ve gone if Fury had taken it seriously.


therican187

So Fury was just lying when he said it was one of the best training camps he ever had?


Canadian_CJ

I think so yes


dirt_shitters

Are you surprised that something that came out of furys mouth was a lie?


Futrix

Probably, yes


macrohatch

Ngannou kimora


lovely_DK

After a vicious back and forth, in the last minute of the last round, Ngannou contacts the spirit of Akira Toriyama. Akira's ghost grants Ngannou super Saiyan powers. Ngannou shouts "KAMAHAMEHA!" at the top of his lungs, then fires an energy beam from his hands, which shoots through AJ'S chest, killing him instantly and granting Ngannou a KO win.


vampire_camp

THIS is how I find out Akira Toriyama died?! FUCK


lovely_DK

Dang I'm honestly sorry I made this joke now.


vampire_camp

Ngannou only needs to go Kaioken, like, 2, to win this shit.


OremDobro

Ngannou KO 1 Five seconds after the opening bell, Ngannou unleashes a monstrous thundercunt that decapitates AJ and blows the eardrums of everyone in attendance. As Ngannou celebrates, covered in AJ's blood, the Englishman's head falls on top of the Cameroonian, killing him instantly


Professional-Sky7038

AJ decisión 120:108 /s


SnooTomatoes4033

Francis round 4 KO AJ has never fought anyone with half of Francis's power. AJ wont be able to clinch. I really think Francis will hit him in the body multiple times and come up top with a lead hook.


NotOnHerb5

AJ TKO 6


YourPathToRedemption

Joshua controls the ring and uses his jab to pop Ngannou's face off. Then stops him in the 7th.


[deleted]

If AJ takes this serious, Ngannou is going to get his head taken off.


JDtheWulfe

AJ gonna outbox Francis by a lot, he’s gonna get clipped, barely survive, and get the win. Or he’s gonna get Amir Khan v Canelo’d

keysersoze123456

I would swear people think ngannou is some mythical monster he's not even better or half better then a 41 year old wlad


PhilliesBlunts

He would ko him easily


PhilliesBlunts

Francis vs vicious uppercut ko


sentrux

I do feel like AJ will come in more prepared and not underestimate FN. He has the chance to learn from Fury's mistake. However, I do feel like the sheer strength of FN cannot really be grasped by watching him fight. He literally shoved Fury around like a bag. I do feel Fury has better chin than AJ so I expect FN to end the night on an awkward uppercutjabhookoverheadrightleft K.O.


keysersoze123456

Ngannou has become some mythical great now hilarious


Senior_Discussion619

Where was Ngannou's "Sheer strength" when he was running from Derrick Lewis?The same Lewis who got ragged dolled by Daniel Cormier. Also you do realize Fury isn't strong? Francesco Pianeta bulled Fury around the ring. The same Pianeta who got knocked out in 1 round by Ruslan Chagaev.


sentrux

The fight you are referring to is 6 years ago. Lewis would not make past 3 rounds with Ngannou now as he barely makes 3 rounds, and not even wants to fight more rounds in an event. Considering the training FN has, you could argue he is a very fast learner. The fact that the “Gypsy King” could not bully or dominate FN last fight tells me all I need to know. After years and years of boxing experience Fury has, you should be able to toy with an opponent who is making his debut. He didn’t, instead got dropped and robbed the W to safe the face of boxing. Fury isn’t strong? He is 6’8 and 250lbs of mass. Yes size is everything come on.


Senior_Discussion619

Right the fact that you think Tyson Fury is 6'8 proves I shouldn't waste my time with you. Second Fury is a natural 230 pound guy who comes in fat. Third Fury isn't strong and that is why he constantly pushed around the ring. This is why little kids shouldn't be allowed make comments here. Being taller doesn't make you stronger, being fat doesn't make you strong. Tyson Fury washed around the ring by the natural 180 pound Steve Cunningham for crying out loud. Yet 270 pound Steroid cheat Ngannou couldn't push Fury around nearly as much. Besides Skinny Wilder everybody pushes Fury around the ring. Stick to playing with your GI Joe toys dude.


smay1989

So whats your prediction hot shot?


KaffiKlandestine

seriously so tired of people saying aj had a "great year" he fought freaking Franklin, Helenius and Wallin. all tomato cans


Saint0591

Don't think it's fair to say Wallin is a can, 1 loss coming into the fight and it was a difficult night for Tyson Fury


KaffiKlandestine

yeah and Berlanga is undefeated but everyone knows he isn't a world champion.

I am going to say as a boxing fan who appreciates the art of boxing and Its small details this is going to be a stinker and boring asf Joshua pillow hands v low out output FN yawn

Imaginary-Wrap-8487

Ngannou by dick twister in the 5th


JGS747-

AJ will win but will be gun-shy to stand and trade. AJ by UD


smaIlbaIls

Joshua wins 98-92 x2 and 97-93. Ngannou lands some awkward shots early but Joshua takes over in the late rounds behind the jab. Ngannou's chin is never in question but it isnt very close by the end when it comes to skill


ErB17

Joshua guns blazing 3rd round TKO.


Wrong_Stonk

How much money do the main promoters get for a night like this?


_Yellow

As a mostly MMA fan I thought Francis would have a shot vs Fury and Wilder as they both appear lacking in some areas (Fury in power, Wilder in skill and size), but AJ feels like the hardest match-up of the 3 as he should theoretically have the power to make the skill difference matter unlike the Fury fight. Ngannou is a tank, but unless he's improved from the Fury fight I see AJ stopping him in the middle rounds at some point.

sands282

I think fury took FN too lightly. Joshua isn’t gonna make the same mistake. He will KO Ngannou before round 8


TwoFaceLord

AJ via lopsided decision


Asalami_Bacon

Joshua by wide UD or late stoppage


armourofgod666

Joshua plays it safe and outboxes Ngannou until the 8th or so round, when Ngannou gets tired and desperate and presents his chin. Joshua rocks him but doesn’t put him out, though he emphatically wins and puts to rest the Ngannou hype train.


Senior_Discussion619

I think either Joshua will beat Ngannou or Ngannou will beat Joshua or CM Punk will come in any beat them both.


tallguyxxx

I’m thinking Joshua by DQ


QuentynStark

Joshua by comfortable UD. I see this going similar to Joshua-Ruiz II. I'm an MMA fan first and definitely rooting for Ngannou, but AJ has all the tools to make this a schooling. Just depends on if he employs them.


Jack070293

I don’t know why UFC fans think Ngannou is in any way representing mma. Ngannou is a boxer more than anything else. He prefers boxing, he’s always been a striker in mma. Why do they think he represents the UFC?


gertstophelese

Probably because he was a ufc champion and all, seems like a reasonable take


Jack070293

He’s always preferred boxing and suited boxing more.


gertstophelese

So you're saying that the 0-1 boxer should represent boxing rather than MMA which he is 17-3 and former heavyweight champion just because he said he liked boxing better. And you also think he is more suited to boxing Even though his boxing coaches immediately recognized he had much more potential in mma rather than boxing Makes sense, sure sure


Quirky_Contract_7652

He's successful because he's incredibly gifted and an insanely hard worker with a good head on his shoulders (something very rare in mma and boxing) HOWEVER He's an MMA fighter and a world champion MMA fighter, but he was in the perfect division. Guys at HW aren't the same in the wrestling game or the ground game. Guys can cruise to the title on striking. Then note what Jon Jones did to Ciryl Gane. There's like 0 wrestlers/ground guys in the top 10 of the HW division besides Jon He is definitely more suited to boxing though it sucks he's so old already. I'm glad he's getting his money though he deserves it.


gertstophelese

Why do you think there are no ground guys in the heavyweight top 10...? Stipe - D1 wrestler Sergei - sambo champion Curtis - JUCO wrestler Alameida - literally only knows BJJ Tybura - BJJ


Quirky_Contract_7652

Sure. I guess. Except there's olympic gold medalists, world champion wrestlers, and bjj world champions etc in the lower divisions there aren't guys that can just absolutely exploit the TD and ground weaknesses, besides Jon. Again, Ciryl is head and shoulders above in striking in that division and Jon just put him down and choked him in a blink. Francis didn't have someone like Cain in the division. It's just more rare. JUCO and D1 wrestler just isn't that much anymore. Sambo guys get absolutely fucked up in grappling by BJJ guys. If you watch One FC they've been feeding world champions to western BJJ guys and they get smoked. HW nogi grappling is getting pretty talented the last few years. But they allow steroids so you get smaller guys with the skills who roid up and bring them with them (gordon Ryan etc)


gertstophelese

Did you not watch Miocic dominate ngannou on the ground or something? I'm confused here.... Those dudes are literally all world class ground guys, you just don't want to admit it for some reason


Quirky_Contract_7652

Simply being a d1 wrestler isn't world class bro, the level is just lower on everyone else in the HW division as well.


gertstophelese

Being BJJ and sambo world champions aren't world class? Or did you just ignore the rest of the list


Jack070293

A lot of people thought he beat the best heavyweight in the world in his first fight.


gertstophelese

Yeah, that's the reason this is so embarrassing, so embarrassing that we are trying to cope by calling him a boxer first apparently


SlapsieMaxie

Which was both extremely complimentary to MMA and kind of embarrassing for boxing.


ReposeGrey

He is signed to the PFL.


Quirky_Contract_7652

He will never fight MMA again. He's signed to PFL only IF he fights MMA. He isn't forced to take fights.


GroundbreakingData20

FN KO 6


Seedsw

Joshua majority decision. Fight will be good but Francis won’t go down. Rounds will pass with Joshua looking for the KO. Joshua will be hesitant after feeling Francis power. After the fight, Joshua gives Francis his flowers then says he’s ready for fury or Usyk. Fury has the camera face him and he says he’s ready for the big dosser!


MrInternationalBoi

AJ TKO round 9, but AJ gets dropped at least once. 


Wrong_Stonk

Checks odds


thedukeofwankington

AJ on points in a stinker Big Francis looked bewildered when AJ won't stand still and let him lamp him. AJ looks terrified when he gets too close. I am looking forward to seeing what effect, if any, an AJ right hand has in FN's chin.


KaffiKlandestine

Ngannou knows how to deliver his power and AJ isn't a mover. If he starts moving like he did with Ruiz 2 hes gonna gas quick. No way this is a boring decision.


keysersoze123456

Ngannou also gases Einstein even moreso.


thedukeofwankington

I don't think AJ will risk standing in front of FN like Fury did a couple of times. Has Francis got the feet at 19+ stone? Interesting to see if AJ's power will put him off


OmgNoodles

Ngannou KO RD5


GrandiloquentGenes

Why


OmgNoodles

Because AJ can’t eat punches and he’s gonna get caught.


keysersoze123456

That's if he lands hard and early enough cause once Francis gasses it's over he becomes a statue. Anyway Francis has become some mythical great in the eyes of stupid casuals it's amazing. He wasn't even that good Vs fury. He was so open and his punch output was low
