Round-by-Round: Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou | PPV - 8 March 2024

[MightyWarrior]

Who do we like Nov or Mov?

[margaret thatcher]

still a slower paced fight, but madi putting together better shots. started to wing in some power in the 2nd.

[skanksta]

3-0 Mad.

Kurb looking flat-footed and lazy.

[NoScoutingReports]

Madrimov much the busier thus far, dipping in and out of range and outworking Kurbanov at the moment.

[margaret thatcher]

ya 3-0 mad here too. kurb not landing the type of quality shots that he needs fighting at such a low pace.

[jameswilson]

Christ Madrimov making this look like childsplay really.

[gregregegg]

madrimov looks like a puncher, fights like a puncher, his name sounds like he is a puncher, but i do not think he is a big puncher....

madrimov is looking classy in there though. love watching fights at "normal person size" weights...

[Frostieballs]

Jose getting the biggest cheer of the night!!

[margaret thatcher]

a bit more lively from kurb than before but still getting outworked and outlanded by madrinov

i think he can punch but a lot of fights he spends too much looking for one big shot, and also telegraphs. in most his decisions he's scored knockdowns but then didnt finish. he is boxing more here and looking good

[jameswilson]

Jesus wept Steve Gray way early yet again.

[SeanBrennan]

Madrimov wins RSF

Do I admit I am a dumbass? or dig in and claim it was 6 or 7 bombs and didnt even floor his man?

[jameswilson]

Early stoppage aside Madrimov looks classy as hell I'll tune in to watch him regards of where he's boxing (I'd imagine an Uzbek will be difficult to promote in the UK or US.)

For the rest of the division I'd imagine they will swerve the WBA title holder.

[NoScoutingReports]

That was getting one sided but felt too early stoppage wise I must say.

[Frostieballs]

Jesus wept Steve Gray way early yet again.

It seemed early - but he isn’t complaining. Think he didn’t like that power

[margaret thatcher]

good performance from madrimov, much more measures and composed than some of his previous home run searching fights

[margaret thatcher]

is that mj in madi's corner

[samwbr]

That's a really good win.

[NoScoutingReports]

is that mj in madi's corner

Pretty sure it is!

[skanksta]

Kurb looked like the protected fighter he was, Madrimov looked the business..

[margaret thatcher]

gimme mad vs ortiz or timmeh

[gregregegg]

Was that early? it depends how you look at it... The fight needed to be stopped/paused, he was on the ropes getting peppered...

I think ref should of called a knockdown, ropes holding him up, but they rarely call that for acumulated shots leaning on ropes... they normaly only use it for stumbling and crashing into the ropes (pov vs price)...

If you dont wanna call a knockdown there then stopping it is a good call. few big big shots, leaned on the ropes copping more.

[jameswilson]

Haha his English is bloody good to be fair.

Hell of a lot better than all of our Uzbek.

[Spud]

Madrimov looked the business..

He is exciting
