Exactly

[@JakeyChappers]

Agreed but he did take a few rounds off to sustain that energy. I think he won but if he hadn’t spent a few rounds resting he’d have definitely got the nod AJ can go 10 easily but also whilst throwing a ton of punches without taking rounds off. He could sap a lot of energy from Ngannou if he isn’t over hesitant

Ngannou's performance against Fury makes this fight extremely interesting and very hard to predict with confidence. Probably my favorite upcoming fight in both boxing and mma, and I'm a fan of both sports. Ngannou could really set himself up as a major money player even if he loses, as long as he makes it competitive. Amazingly a Joshua loss doesn't seem totally far fetched, even though he has to be the favorite going in.

[@spicesmuggler2452]

Ngannou already "set himself up" after the Fury fight.

[@robertblake1228]

AJ is a way better boxer than clinch clinch Fury and that clinching didnt work against Ngannou

[@chrisellingsen9677]

No question about it, Ngannou is already a big player in boxing, at least for now. The Saudi money is ginormous and means that every one now wants to fight him for the huge reward. Coupled with his legitimate fighting prowess and his fascinating backstory all fans have come around to wanting to see what he can accomplish in boxing at the biggest stage against the best. But if he gets completely dismantled and annihilated by AJ, his stock plummets and the narrative becomes that his boxing success was mostly Fury disrespecting and underestimating him. But if he wins or loses very competitively he remains a huge money man in boxing, where he has already earned by far his two biggest paydays. MMA will also pay bundles to get him back in the cage. He's got both hands firmly grasping his dream, and we get to watch it unfold.

[@davidmurphy7800]

Dan is a true gentleman and warrior . Very reasonable and fair in his analysis

[@baconeggcheesepodcast9390]

He really is

[@yourrightimwrong3565]

Fury & Joshua are 2 totally different types of boxers, you can’t apply Fury’s weaknesses onto Joshua & vice versa. Joshua will be a real test for Ngannou’s boxing defence.

[@songodrumming1]

So far, this is the best analysis I've come across regarding this fight.

[@kdaddy9229]

I genuinely believe that the level of analysis that high level MMA coaches are capable of lends itself to finding a great game plan against traditional boxers. There’s so much footage on these high level boxers and very little on Francis as a boxer. I think between the freakish ability of Francis and the tactical approach of Erik there’s a really good chance that Francis holds a belt in the next year or so. And it probably happens before Francis has 7 boxing matches

[@Richard-zp3ok]

NO. NO he does not

[@robbiewizz658]

Dewey Cooper is the lead boxing coach . Experienced ex kick boxer and boxer.. Trained by Roger mayweather . I feel they will both game plan using MMA striking differences example stance switches, punches from unorthodox boxing angles … Love this fight Love both these fighters

[@mishw1789]

Nope. AJ got him out of there in 2 rounds. They literally had to bring out an oxygen tank.

[@taz454]

Absolutely no chance. He should get back in the cage, he doesn't belong in the ring.

[@coleheketoa]

Joshua and Fury in the last 10yrs have been the 2 dominant heavyweights of boxing. Andy Ruiz and Wilder included. This is a great lesson for everyone who wants to make it in life. When you focus, plan and fight your way through all existing barriers physical and mental that you can at least get the chance to make your dreams come true. He's done it with integrity, respect and humility supported by patience and determination. His story is totally unique and would make a wonderful movie one day. Well done Francis ❤💪💪💪💪

[@lonewolf3706]

​@@DirtyJamesUKimagine Nganou beating an Olympic gold medalist in his second pro boxing fight?! I mean I know it's far fetched but what a story that would be! Movies will probably be made about Nganou.

[@benh9935]

I actually think that Fury suited Ngannou better than Joshua will in some ways. Fury building off feints, which Ngannou didn’t react to, and Fury’s insistence on engaging in the clinch where Francis is both physically stronger but also craftier with frames and grapping went a long way. Joshua fights more traditionally but also won’t try to clinch Ngannou and carries more power than Fury. On the flipside though, he’s also less durable so Ngannou can definitely hurt him and barring a huge difference in foot speed, could just walk into the clinch if need be.

[@eddiel7635]

Titus a myth that Fury is more durable, AJ has been knocked down in 2 fights, Fury has been knocked down in five.

[@Proxima2]

One thing I noticed in Ngannou’s fight with Fury was that he took a few good punches from Fury which seemed to have no effect at all and I think that unsettled Fury because he became very cautious after Ngannou landed a few good punches of his own. AJ doesn’t have a great chin so if Ngannou can land a few good punches I think AJ will become very cautious and defensive. I don’t think AJ will dictate the fight. I think Francis can really disrupt AJ’s offence if he keeps switching his stance from orthodox to southpaw to disrupt AJ’s game. He could really capitalise on AJ’s fear of getting knocked down/out. I think mentally Ngannou will have the advantage, albeit AJ will have the skill and experience advantage. This should be a really good fight. I honestly think Ngannou could win this.

[@musicalsalmon2966]

[@ceetvjamaica5094]

Not only did Francis beat Fury, but he made complete idiots of all who said they are fighting and boxing experts. Don't you just love it when they said they arent ' taking anything away from Francis' even as they conclude with the excuses for Tyson losing...

[@dude9038]

Agree, and they'll do the same when Francis finishes AJ. Some comentors have already included their excuses just in case they get it wrong this time ("oh, if AJ doesn't go in focused then he could lose.." LoL yet in the same sentence they're saying AJ will school Ngannou. Pure copium and snobbish elitism)

No excuses necessary, light work for AJ

[@joshuarittenhouse4938]

Great show Dan🤙

[@Theemptythroneistaken]

Here we go again here starts the silly doubting AJ because we fell for the wilder and fury PR.

[@ilSaponara]

Joshua is more skilled and has more tools. Both are a bit robotic. Joshua will likely keep distance and box. Ngannou has shown an excellent chin in the UFC with 4oz gloves. Fury never really seemed to hurt him either. Joshua has shown a suspect chin at times, which has made him a bit gun shy. Usyk is not a big puncher and he had Joshua hurt badly. If Joshua gets caught by Ngannou, it could definitely be lights out for him.

[@JimmyBoogaloo]

Cheers Dan, hope you're well

[@savalafonghe6409]

Great analysis

[@wadap0]

Thanks Dan!

[@justinneill5003]

I believe Ngannou has better punch resistance than Joshua. If Joshua can maintain composure, measure the distance & work behind the jab without getting hurt, he should outbox Ngannou and may be able to switch it up in the late rounds if Ngannou tires. But if AJ gets caught clean by Ngannou there’s a chance he could lose composure and crumble, and then Ngannou won’t let him off the hook.

[@user-nj8io4kl1u]

He ain't ever been whacked the way Joshua will whack him, you'll see.

[@vernlaw]

To me it’s going to come down to pace. If Francis can hurt Joshua and make him tentative he can slow the pace down and pick his shots. If Joshua can exert his will and put faster combos and make Francis fight fast then he can wear him down and possibly finish him. Francis is a great athlete but all that muscle requires oxygen

[@henrystevenson4837]

Joshua has just as much muscle I think

[@clementitalume564]

You have to fatigue someone like Francis by making him come for you and then move and dodge while you pepper him with jabs until he is tired.

[@vernlaw]

@@clementitalume564 that was the thought going into the Fury fight but Francis is smarter than most people realize, when Tyson backed off he would back off and would use it as a way to rest and recharge. He rarely chased. Hes a lot faster and has a lot quicker reactions than people give him credit for but he gets tired of the fight gets too active. He fought a great strategy that allowed him to conserve his energy but he made the mistake of underestimating his gas tank and was a little too conservative especially in the last two rounds. Tyson had some success when he totally back peddled and jabbed and moved in that he at least was able to land one or two more punches and steal the rounds. I don’t think Joshua can do that because that’s not his style. He’s going to have to fight behind his jab stay in the pocket slip and rip combos. Keep the pressure on Nganou and make him fight fast. That’s how he takes his power from him. If he goes backwards it allows Francis to recharge, he might be able to win that way but 1. He’s not a good backward fighter like fury 2. It will make Francis a lot more dangerous during the whole fight and I don’t think k Francis makes the same mistake and will press a little harder. Hes going to have to hurt Francis and keep pace on him. If he gets hurt or fights afraid of Francis power it could be a long night.

[@vernlaw]

@@henrystevenson4837 not quite Joshua was 251 in last fight Francis 272 both rock solid, . Joshua being two inches taller means that he is the noticeably leaner fighter.

[@generaldealing8132]

U make it sound like Joshua doesn’t carry more muscles in the last fight Tyson was much more tired than Francis,remember every body shot from a power punch like Francis takes the opponent steam out and eventually depletes all that energy from his opponents.also once they feel Francis power it changes opponents game plans to try play it safe AJ is gonna get countered with left hook shot,and he is a stationery fighter no head movement I can see Francis designating a granade on him easily

[@clementitalume564]

Watch all the people giving Ngannou a chance quickly change their tune when AJ stops him just to make sure AJ gets no credit.

[@agelualofa]

I don't intend to dampen the enthusiasm, but it's worth noting that many boxers are leaning towards AJ winning by knockout. It's intriguing how some may overlook the strategic advantages an MMA fighter possesses over a traditional boxer. In boxing, attention is mainly focused on the left and right hands, whereas in MMA, one's entire body serves as a potential weapon. Humorously, MMA fighters often jest that their only need for improvement is stamina to endure 12 rounds of 3 minutes each. Examining the Conor vs. Floyd bout illustrates this point; the MMA fighter performed notably better in the initial rounds. The challenge lies in sustaining the intensity due to the extended duration of boxing matches. I anticipate Francis securing a knockout victory, considering his enhanced fitness and refined movement. My admiration extends to both athletes, and I wish them the utmost success.

UFC lost out not having you in their working the commentating

[@michaelteret4763]

I suspect Francis will excel again. His power will intimidate AJ. Joshua will play a boring game, trying to win on patience and points. Francis will box well, but he’ll have to get lucky to get close enough to land a few big blows and put AJ down.

[@K_j_M]

You mean Joshua will do what boxers do, and box? Only a fool stands and trades with a 275lb behemoth who is solely looking for counter punches. He wasn't at any point on the offensive against Fury and, I doubt he'll learn enough in one camp to make significant changes here. He's too big to be an effective mover and Joshua is, relative to this match, the superior athlete.

[@adamcockayne1325]

Are u serious nganou 100 times better athlete than aj nganou came of the couch with 2 year of acl surgery he is going to be well better this fight after anouther boxing only camp and in ufc he was always on offensive its because he respected fury to much there will be no respect with aj not goin over 6

AJs bread and butter is big heavyweights with slow hands, he always looks good against them. The only question for me is if he goes in and thinks he can KO Francis he’ll be in for a frustrating night I don’t think I’ve ever seen that man wobbled. Francis should take a page out of heavyweights like Dillon and Chisora, aggressively close down the distance and throw bombs in the clinch, AJ has a very average chin all it would take is one. But I think it’ll be AJ by decision though

He's very good, bisping is brilliant also........

[@larey12]

All these people saying how Ngannou will beat AJ are probably the same people who said the same thing about McGregor and Mayweather - and we all know how that ended. What you will see in this fight is a boxing lesson for Ngannou. He will be completely outboxed, and, in his frustration, will throw haymakers and be severly punished. Yes, Ngannou is strong and has a good chin but anyone who gets hit flush by AJ is going down. I don't even think Ngannou will last more than 4 rounds before he gets knocked out. AJ likes fighting the big strong guys - it's the smaller ones he has trouble with.

I dont like this match up for AJ. My worry is that he will struggle to land significant strikes due to ngannou patiently holding form and coming forward. In the meantime time ngannou will be throwing big bombs which will eventually get joshua nervous and cause him to get on the back foot and box not to lose instead of boxing to win. I still think he wins but I don't think it will look good which defeats the entire object of this match up. And of course there is always the chance that ngannou lands a big hook and cleans Joshua's clock. Then what?

I would love to see Cyril Gane box against Ngannou. I dunno but Gane could very well box Francis his ass off!

[@MikeHowe1969]

Remember a few weeks back, plenty of people saying Otto Wallin was dangerous and he was going to dominate the fight and finish AJ's career by a KO.

[@implodingllama2092]

Styles make fights. Wallin is about as similar to Francis as I am to a jockey

@@implodingllama2092let’s be real aj gonna flatten Francis and after this fight everyone gonna be saying why was he doing boxing

​@@implodingllama2092that wasn't the point. Point is, people are still writing off Joshua based on the optics of one fight. Foolishness

[@implodingllama2092]

@@K_j_M how was that not the point? The OP is using wallin as a stand in for what would happen to Francis. I then respond with wallin is about as similar to Francis as I am to a jockey (implying that it’s a silly comparison cos they’re so different). That is precisely the subject matter that the OP is talking about. So I’m not sure how you’re saying that I’ve missed the point lol

Ngannou has nowhere near the workrate needed.

@@baconeggcheesepodcast9390 How has he ?

[@K_j_M]

​@@baconeggcheesepodcast9390was it not obvious? All he did was back off in the Fury fight when Fury backed off. Preserved what little gastank he has... He also pretty much stopped throwing in the 9th and 10th where fury took it with his own work rate. If he had gas to step on, he could've just punched for 6 more minutes but, he didn't and came away with an 0

They alter the bro science , he’s like Ivan drago 😂

How did we get here? What Ngannou has done is ridiculous

[@stevem7250]

If i was nganoua be a jab then try n get him on the inside make him struggle then over hand over the top. But surley joshua knows this jab then a straight uppercut as he comes in, check him with thqt hook his open to it. Should just set him up really.
