His 3rd fight from now - 2 wins and he’s at the title shot If moicano beats bsd and if he gets moicano next he can then fight someone in the top 5 then a title shot big IF he wins.
Nice video, I don’t think he is ready for the top lightweights at least not for the next two years or so, and even then it is going to be very difficult for him.
I think I agree with that man. And this is based on his skills at present. It doesn't mean he won't ever be able to face them, he's just not ready at the moment.
HAY GUY IF YOU THINK WHEN YOUR FIGHTING & BEING PICKED UP AT 10..15 & THEN YOU WARMING up THEN YOUR CALLING DOWN THEN WARMING UP AGAIN & FOR 5,hrs THIS REPEATIDLY 1000% i BALEVE THIS BUT JOSHUA IS ON OF THE BEST BOXERS IN THE WORLD & STILL HAD A BIG CHANCE OF NOCKING FRANCE OUT OR BEATING HIIM UP FOR 12 ROUNDS - I JUST THINK THATS A MASSIVE WAY OF HANDY CAPPING A NOVES BOXER WHO CAN NOCK PEOPLE IN TO THE SHADOW RALM & BY DOING WHAT EDDIE HERN & JOSHUA,S TEAM DID WAS DIRTY CONSIDERING URE THE GOLD MEDAL WIINNING PRO BOXER SO I 1000% I GET WHY FRANCES WOULD BE FEELING SALTY & DONE DIRTY MY EDDIE HERN & J)SHUA,S TEAM
Joshua may have tweaked things to his advantage but the outcome would have always been the same. Credit to Ngannou for stepping in the ring but theres levels to this. Joshua will never step to the octagon
😂If anyone can make you believe you can do anything it's Rogan. I was quite surprised when I heard Alex Pereira beat Ngannou's score on that 'punch machine' thing, but then again Pereira is made of stone
His “claims” are trying to if you watch him before the fight he was yawning a lot the time delayed was 6 hours and your body ain’t used to that he’s already sleep by then so if you fight sleepy at that level you’ll be sloppy and even then you can see he was stiff and slow and wasn’t fast like in the fury one and Ngannou said the training evrything was good until he got to the fight week with the delays especially on fight niggt
That's why i never drink water that brought to my corner!! A lot of great kickboxers got water with sleeping medicine. Aj is a muslim. Francis catolic. And he fought in a muslim country!! Muslims are cheaters!!
His claims bein true or not, he is formidable, and AJ was going to win no matter what. We'll never know with these people and their behind the scenes dealings. But mark my words, watch Francis rise in coming months, just as planned. I know a humiliation ritual when I see one.
Yeah. It was pretty evident they were trying to make him the ‘small boy’ in the match up the entire build up to the fight. Hopefully Ngannou’s team are a bit more vigilant to these tactics in his next bout
This is on Ngannou's team. You know your place on the card and if there's a walk-out fight. If the drive from the hotel is 15 minute you allow 20 minutes. You have to consider all the fights ahead of you might end quickly and this means you always need to wait for a couple of hours or so. Sometimes you don't wait long at all. If you're there 3 hours early because the promoter sent a driver too early, you just wait -- like you do at an airport if there's a delay, or your flight is cancelled. Like you do if you're standing in line waiting to vote and the line hasn't move for 4 hours. You're not going to give up your right to vote. Nobody is leaving the line. Patience in a virtue. All things come to him who waits. But if you're waiting for your fight, it's not like waiting for your flight. You rest... You nap... You sleep... You read a book... You don't fool with your phone... You don't fret... You don't worry... Once a boxer fell through a faulty ring floor. The promoter jumped into the ring and announced they would repair the ring in short order and everyone should just wait. It took nearly 4 hours to find skilled workmen, the right tools, the right plywood boarding, getting the floor joists correctly sized, in place, and sturdy as hell, replace a large piece of ring foam rubber padding, fasten everything down, and test it out. A great cheer went up as the in progress boxing match resumed.
True that. Fight cards are unpredictable. However good organisers these days know how to keep the delays to a minimum based on show flow. And I understand that sometimes you wait long. Sometimes you don’t wait at all. But both fighters should face the same challenges, delays on the night. There at least we can say “even though there was a 6 hour delay, both fighters experienced it in the same way”. So both were waiting anxiously, unsure what’s happening due to all the delays. Joshua and his team seemed to have known a lot more than Ngannou’s team did. So where as Ngannou was in the dark for most of the evening, Joshua was at his hotel prepping for the 3:30am start time. But you are right as far as fighters being aware that this happens and that they need to have a back up plan for crazy long delays
Gonna have to do better than that. At most that's gamesmanship. On joe rogan one of the things that Ngannou said as 'evidence' was that the first KD punch didn't feel like it was that powerful. But that is a classic sign of concussive trauma. Ngannou is a fighter, and never got dropped before that. It is natural for such a personality type to struggle with it mentally. I like the guy, but I don't put much stock in this
I get that it’s considered gamesmanship, but is it ethical to employ these tactics on fight night? Let’s look at the UFC for example. Dana would never allow this to happen. Home ground advantage or not, it’s unprofessional. But this is the benefit of having a neutral organiser of the event. Strangely, these tactics seem to reflect an element of fear in Joshua’s camp going into this fight.
@@itsfridaysports It's entirely on Ngannou's team. They were told the time they were fighting, but decided to accept the time the car would arrive for Francis. Why didn't they push back on the timings? Why didn't they just book their own car? AJ faced the same fight night delays as the schedule ran behind, but his team made sure he didn't head to the venue too early so wasn't sat around waiting. And watching the fight itself, Francis looked every bit as sharp and quick as he was against Fury when the bell rang. The difference was he was in with a fighter who is much stronger than Fury and, more importantly, has much quicker hands. Fury was throwing looping shots that Francis saw a mile off and could brace for. AJ surprised him with straight punches he didn't properly anticipate. Ngannou is a good boxer and would give even fighters in the top 10 a difficult night, but there are levels and he was found out by the superior fighter on the night.
100%. Don’t you think the UFC may add pressure on the individual commissions to adopt the rules, or else the UFC won’t host events in their state? Because I haven’t seen any concerns around the rule change from the UFC.
Prior to him winning the FA Cup, a massive portion of the Man United fan base wanted him sacked and replaced with 1 of the candidates Sir Jim Radcliffe had approached concerning the job towards the end of the season.
