I am really surprised he was able to crack the chin with boxing gloves, but I guess when it's a different sport you leave yourself open. So Francis probably hasn't taken shots that clean.

Da bigman

I’m not a big gambler, but I had $50 on Usyk  to beat Fury at +150 right after the Francis fight, kinda annoyed Fury pulled out because I won’t see those odds again

I don’t bet $50 often

@Bigbag 
They can throw harder because they have softer gloves. Is that what you mean?

Well!!! That's not what I expected.  I picked Joshua by decision.  I could have even seen Joshua stopping a tired Ngannou late.

What I didn't expect to see was Ngannou stretched out inside of 2 rounds!!  
Wow!!!!

No, boxers train punching and only punching all day every day so their muscles are geared to that. They have heavier hands compared to other combat sports athletes who have to train so many other things

Ngannou got fraud checked. Take him back to mma. He has no business in boxing

Mma fans are delusional to think he had any chance. Let the downvoting commence

@Bigbag 
I guess that sounds plausible, but most mma fighters train tons of boxing. I would assume that it has more to do with not being used to the defense, and Ngannou not being  used to fighters as technical as the best boxers.

Can you imagine a world where Renan Ferreira Kos NGannou on PFL ? That would be such an extreme fall from Grace.
