[Boxing] Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou - March 9

[Japinat]

This is a big shocker for all of us, Joshua just knocked out Ngannou in one of the nastiest knocks out we've seen in round two, Joshua took only one straight shot on Ngannou's head to flatten Julius, I know that AJ can win the fight but I never thought this could be this easy.

This is the highlight of that one punch knock out

Brutal knockout indeed. So this settles the issue now and move forward and see if we can the "Battle of Great Britain" now that Joshua has won. Time for Tyson Fury to defeat Usyk and face Jushua next.

And settles the issue that Francis is just a hype job. AJ really train for this hard fight as compare to bum Tyson Fury who was extended against Ngannou.

Exactly, it settles the issue about Ngannou being just hype. But actually it could go the same thing with AJ since he beat a UFC fighter trying to be a boxer. We will know if AJ has really improve once he ges into the championship and will become a champion again.

Fury will have to win his fight against Usyk though to make the fight "Battle of Great Britain" next.

Otherwise it will be AJ vs Usyk for the unified belt. That counter pull of AJ to knockout Ngannou cold, reminds of Lennox Lewis during his prime.

AJ's win does not declare him to be a champion since it's not a championship fight, hence, there's no belt to unify if he will fight Usyk or Fury in a championship fight as he will only be a challenger.

That's about the fastest boxing match I've streamed live in my entire life, Ngannou's was rendered completely clueless and wasn't even given any chance to be considered as a worthy opponent, Anthony Joshua really made him look like someone that have never been in any kind fighting sport nor mixed martial arts to so honest, he was so defenseless.

One of the fastest losses in boxing history. Ngannou thought boxing was all about talking too much and seeing oneself as the winner. He was unaware that the fight with Anthony Joshua would not be the same as his encounter with Tyson Fury, or that it would end so quickly.

Anthony Joshua had trained hard for the bout because he wanted to advance in his boxing career with a victory and he didn't want to let his guard down after losing to Usky twice.

I think Ngannou will seek a rematch from AJ in the future because he never thought he would be knocked out so quickly and without much pressure.

AJ is very desperate to become a champion again that's why he will do everything to be at that stage again. That win will hype his name again and promoters will not be having a hard time to promote his fight. I think they are just waiting for the result of Usyk vs Fury, and hopefully Fury will win so they could market the fight better, AJ vs Fury, it has not happened before, unlike AJ vs Usyk where the latter had already beat AJ twice.

I think Ngannou will seek a rematch from AJ in the future because he never thought he would be knocked out so quickly and without much pressure.

No need, he showed nothing but hype. it's very clear that he is not ready for a big fight like that, AJ trained hard unlike Fury when he faced Ngannou.. And I also don't know if people are still hyped with Ngannou as the hype is necessary for promoters to give this a go.

AJ is young and unafraid to fight someone bigger than him. he fought Usyk twice, and this is certainly a good characteristic for someone deserving to be a champ.

i was expecting Ngannou to win actually. he was unprepared for that kind of strategy, the jab coming from AJ blinds his view to watch what AJ is about to do, and suddenly the right straight hits Ngannou's face.  that kind of defeat is just not going to give Ngannou the right to demand a rematch.

[SatoPrincess]

I was rooting for Francis Ngannou to beat Anthony Joshua. I fell for the underdog story, it would have been amazing to see someone come from the MMA to compete with top boxers and get one over them. Francis Ngannou already won me over since his match against Tyson Fury. I was expecting to see that same beast in the ring last night, but Anthony Joshua was a waayyy better fighter last night. Knockout in the second round? Wasn’t expecting that.

A good fight and enjoyed the amazing moves from both fighter and this is exactly what we call professionalism in fighting. Anthony Joshua have his brilliant style of hitting harder against oppositions. He have done it in the past and doing it again does sound easy for the British boxer. He has experienced weigh more than Francis Ngannou who was very tough in his previous matches, however this match taught me a new lesson in boxing, never to predict or place wager in favour of a fighter due to the past fights. Francis Ngannou against Tyson Fury, he was a beast and a pro but against AJ, he turned to a newbie.

[mu_enrico]

I just came back from YouTube, watching KO highlights...
My reaction is WTF rigged!
Ngannou looked like a punching bag as he didn't bother to block/evade AJ's punches. The punch can be seen from miles and yet he got knocked down multiple times... Just Kidding.

This is the result that should happen every time a top boxer fights a non-boxer (MMA, or whatever). You can see AJ was serious (and professional), while Fury wasn't. Ngannou just cannot react to high-level feints and non-telegraphic punches by a top boxer.

[Harkorede]

One of the fastest losses in boxing history. Ngannou thought boxing was all about talking too much and seeing oneself as the winner. He was unaware that the fight with Anthony Joshua would not be the same as his encounter with Tyson Fury, or that it would end so quickly.

Anthony Joshua had trained hard for the bout because he wanted to advance in his boxing career with a victory and he didn't want to let his guard down after losing to Usky twice.

AJ is very desperate to become a champion again that's why he will do everything to be at that stage again. That win will hype his name again and promoters will not be having a hard time to promote his fight. I think they are just waiting for the result of Usyk vs Fury, and hopefully Fury will win so they could market the fight better, AJ vs Fury, it has not happened before, unlike AJ vs Usyk where the latter had already beat AJ twice.

Yes, I couldn't agree more with you AJ seemed to have been heavily distracted in the past few years, I don't want to consider a win over a very below average boxer like Ngannou to have an assertion of whether or not Anthony Joshua is back to his best days.

I think Ngannou will seek a rematch from AJ in the future because he never thought he would be knocked out so quickly and without much pressure.

No need, he showed nothing but hype. it's very clear that he is not ready for a big fight like that, AJ trained hard unlike Fury when he faced Ngannou.. And I also don't know if people are still hyped with Ngannou as the hype is necessary for promoters to give this a go.

Ngannou should just quit the idea of being boxer, he does have the mindset of one, his defense yesterday made very obvious that he still thinks and fight like an UFC or Mixed Martial Arts fighter, he wouldn't even stand the test of time against a professional middle weight boxer, with such a defense he displayed yesterday. Joshua just threw effective punches through his face at will and with relative ease.

[notblox1]

Oh man, Ngannou will remember this humbling defeat for a very long time 
I secretly hoped he could make big sensation and I even put a bet on him to win by decision, but Joshua was every sharp, direct and he put Ngannou in his place.
Maybe it is better for him to take a break from boxing and come back to MMA that is more his familiar territory .

With the recent wins of Anthony Joshua, I think he is back to his best days of dishing out his right-hand blow knockout to his opponent. In his last two fights, he has won them by knockout and this fight wins over Ngannou crowns it all that he is fully back to his old self of winning by knockout.

No need, he showed nothing but hype. it's very clear that he is not ready for a big fight like that, AJ trained hard unlike Fury when he faced Ngannou.. And I also don't know if people are still hyped with Ngannou as the hype is necessary for promoters to give this a go.

the hype been given to Ngannou brought him to his downfall. He thought that since he stood against Fury in a fight, he can do the same against Anthony, and even win him. Anthony Joshua been wise, he don't want to be disgraced. That's why he prepared than ever to take on Ngannou, to gave him a quick defeat.

It was a flawless victory for Cameron boxer as he was unable to survive the second round due to his weak effort in the fight. I think he underestimated AJ, who has being training tirelessly to make sure that he defeats Ngannou and got back his respect. What a bad night and fight for Ngannou.

Ngannou should know that AJ is strong and has heavy punches that can make someone collapse after been hit by one of the punches. I think that because Ngannou won Tyson Fury that was why he felt that the fight between him and AJ would be an easy one, but he got defeated so easily and so quick like a baby.

I watched the replay of the fight, and this fight makes it look like we were played by Tyson Fury when he fought Ngannou,  AJ makes Ngannou looks like a novice boxer.  It was very easy for him (AJ) to land heavy punches breaking through Nganou's defenses.  If anyone noticed, that last punch that ended the fight looks like a walk in the park where AJ just goes forward and gives that finishing blow without Ngannou having the capability to block or resist the punch.

I think Tyson Fury does not take Ngannou seriously and possibly Fury is not serious during his fight against him.  It is also possible the fight against Fury is just a promotional fight in order to establish Ngannou's possible great boxing career but I think AJ just ended that plan...  I do not think that a rematch is needed.  We clearly see that Ngannou just can't keep up with AJ's punching power.

The knockout in round 2 was the amazing part of the fight. The fight was entertaining and shocking outcome was generated. The fierce opponent that knocked out Tyson Fury was easily defeated by Anthony Joshua and it's not just an ordinary win but a tremendous one with a KO. Francis Ngannou was favorite to win the match due to his stats and physique, he lay hand on the important matches. Don't underestimate Anthony Joshua simply because he lost significant matches in the past, there's more to observed connecting this fight.

When it comes to stats and history then you would really be having thoughts that Ngannou would be able to take down Fury which same as you said where you would really be having those thoughts that it would be surely an easy win for Ngannou considering that AJ do really have indeed that past defeats matches in the past but we cant really be able to tell on whose gonna win because as long the fight isnt over yet
there's no considered for it to be final and something that you would really be able to tell on whose gonna win. For sure there are tons of people who had lost their bet with Ngannou, including me. 

[Rruchi man]

For sure there are tons of people who had lost their bet with Ngannou, including me. 

After the fight, Anthony Joshua advised Francis not to quit boxing because he lost his two first fights. Anthony Joshua Just like some other professionals in the sports must really see a future for Francis hence the reason why they are advising him to keep boxing. He is richer than he was because the compensation for loosing in the fight is still huge for him, but he may not be happy knowing that he lost his two games. As much as we may criticize Francis for losing in this fight also I believe that he has gained some more experience than he had before and that starting by fighting Tyson Fury and then now Anthony Joshua who are two goof fighters, will have an influence on his confidence.

Right, and it just shows what we have suspected, that Tyson Fury didn't put any effort in training fighting Francis and that's why Ngannou was able to last the full fight and almost beat the greatest heavyweight this generation has witnessed.

So it was an easy fight for Joshua, barely breaking any sweat in this fight as if he is on sparring and trying to perfect that right hand. And now know that Ngannou's chin is not that good although AJ punch can brutally knockout anyone with that kind of power behind.

Ngannou underestimated  Anthony Joshua? No I really don't think so, because this guy has nothing to his name, like record of victories and title, compared to Anthony Joshua who have seen it all, so if he actually underated Anthony Joshua, that is stupidity in highest level, and what he fail to understand is that, Anthony Joshua has that power and built like him, and besides, they are both Africans from original, so Ngannou shouldn't have expected an easy fight, because to me, fighting someone that has almost the same qualities as you is extremely difficult, compared to someone totally different, so congratulations to Anthony Joshua for showing superiority and experience over Ngannou.

Francis Ngannou really underestimated Anthony Joshua's abilities and that was why he was defeated flawlessly. Francis is no doubt a good fighter that arrived unprepared for the fight, his defeat should be a lesson to him never to underestimate any fighter again. He just needs to train more and master the skills of boxing to boost his confidence for more challenging fights. Even Anthony has had a fair share of defeats in the history of his career and it is only fair that he encourages another fighter going through the disappointment of defeat never to give up. Anthony Joshua is a good man and he  did the right thing by encouraging Francis never to quit fighting. This is just a period for Francis to gather experiences he'll boost his career with.

I doubt that he underestimated Anthony Joshua. I believe what really happen is we overestimated him thinking he has a shot on beating a real pro boxer AJ. He was there because of the hype, we bought it and we believe he can win, when actually he is not a championship caliber fighter, he is just a newbie in boxing. I know he is good back in UFC, but that does not automatically make him great in boxing as well.

[Synchronice]

Today I was watching some tiktok videos and one video showed up and I think everyone has to watch this video: www.tiktok.com/@fightmma.hype/video/7344412706214038816
To spoil you, this video shows how Tyson Fury was struggling against Ngannou and then comes the video of how Joshua was playing with Ngannou like the cat plays with a mouse. I still can't believe what I watched. At first I watched the fight where Ngannou won against Tyson Fury and then, months later, I watch a fight where Joshua simply destroys Ngannou.
Now Tyson Fury is making excuses and says that he was shit when he was fighting Ngannou and if he and Jushua fights, Joshue will face absolutely different Fury.
Lots of money will be made if they fight and it will be a hella interesting.
