Prediction: wrong NGannou wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 1

I don't think we'll need 5 rounds but I wish it was anyway to really guarantee a KO. They both gas out, but boy does Lewis know how to use his energy in spurts, especially in the later rounds. I got him here finishing off the hype of Ngannou for awhile.

Prediction: correct Lewis wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 2

I cannot believe how many people are picking ngannou. Francis has KO power but so does Lewis, who is a better boxer by far. Francis is sloppier than Gumbo a lot of the time and he has KOed kickboxers, not Boxers. Lewis is more.dangerous than Stipe with his hands....his shot selection is actually ******* superb.

Francis is going to get blasted here by a slip right hand just when he thinks he has Lewis hurt and turtled up.

Prediction: wrong NGannou wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 1

Lewis' chin is nothing to write home about and his gas tank is worse than Ngannou though. He's one fight removed from having to fight with his back against the cage for support so as to not go full Dada against Hunt.

I really disagree on the notion that Lewis is a better boxer than Francis - I think they're both sloppy - it wasn't that long ago that we saw him display some of the worst accuracy against Shamil Abdurakhimov (8/46 distance strikes), a fight he finished because he got on top of Shamil. He is quite an effective fighter, but ugly to watch, and I don't think he's got the tools to defeat Francis, mainly because he's not a grappler.

It's the HW's though, so anything goes.

Prediction: wrong NGannou wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 1

Lewis can seemingly KO anyone but he has a worse chin than Ngannou, isn't really any better with cardio, and doesn't have anywhere near Stipe's wrestling so I don't see how he wins here unless he gets lucky.

Prediction: wrong NGannou wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 1

Lewis is more of a brawler than a boxer,and most of his knockouts come from gnp. Both have mediocre ground games. I think Francis might even have the cardio advantage here not that it really matters since this will end inside 7 minutes. But Lewis not too long ago was out-cardio'd by Hunt. Doubt he would have survived 5 rounds with Stipe. Could see this going like the Mitrione fight.

Prediction: wrong NGannou wrong KO/TKO wrong Round 1

I think Lewis main chance is to get Ngannou down of course and ground and pound him out. I don't think he has much of a chance on the feet, especially since Ngannou has ridiculous power and a proven chin. Guaranteed those shots Stipe landed on him would sleep Lewis. Also Lewis has been put down and hurt by guys before including Shawn Jordan and Mitrione. Think it would be a pretty fast and brutal KO to be honest.

Curtis Blaydes was not able to hold N'gannou down. I dont think anyone can do it other then Miocic!

Teem, if you think it's gonna be a scary one to watch, then why are you predicting that it's gonna go to a decision?

Maybe he thinks Lewis & N'Gannou will both be so exhausted afterwards they'll have to go to the ICU.
