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

[Monzon83]

That punch would have knocked out a fornicating horse.

And Wilder and Fury into the middle of next week.

[Steveh583]

Francis will surely go to the PFL and never box again now.

[Miguello]

You can see the anxiety in Hearn's face when Joshua has the mic.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Man AJ is so cringe on the mic

[jameswilson]

Fury stocks have been taking a beating lately. Wilder gets 120'd by parker, Wallin gets smashed by AJ, Francis gets flatlined by AJ... been a tough couple months as a fury fan.

Can turn it all around beting usyk though, which i kinda feel he might, usyk is 37 with a lot of wear and tear i imagine. wish that fight happened couple years ago.

I've always thought Tom Schwarz boxes AJ's head off........

[KiwiRider]

chilling KO from the world's #2 heavyweight

What next for him though?
Parker has been stuffing up his future opponents

Wait for Usyk, then call it a day .

Maybe. How much interest is there in that?
OK, so Fury Chisora 3 sold well, maybe there is interest

hard to say cos FN isnt a professional boxer, they would be more accustomed to being hit harder. And would obv never have thrown a lay jab that slowly. I hope this goes some way to stop all these crossover fights.

Francis willsurely go to the PFL and never box again now.

Francis vs wilder in saudi would still make him more money than MMA ever could i believe.... but honestly i hope he retires. probably made 20 million in the last 6 months, 37 years old, stuck between 2 sports... save the brain...

agreed. certainly dont ever box again. unless its against another mma fighter. he was known for his durability too I believe wasnt he?

[Gnome]

I wanted Joshua to win, but he really is a wally, isn't he.

[rd350lc]

Didn't think this card hit the heady highs of the last big Saudi card .
Watched most of it and it just didn't catch fire until the last fight really .

What's he been saying now ?

[handsofstone]

Joshua doing what Fury should've done, emphatic, thought Ngannou looked a bit lively early doors but Joshua put him down with a straight right down the pipe, the right hand for the knockdown in the 2nd a much harder shot, Ngannou's legs crumpled, the KO punch was sweeeeet, what you want to see in a heavyweight fight between a top level boxer and an MMA guy, AJ patient and made the punches count

Stick him in against Jake Paul

[Ruthless-RKO]

Why they calling AJ the best HW boxer?

Has Usyk retired or sumat?

[jameswilson]

Didn't think this card hit the heady highs of the last big Saudi card .
Watched most of it and it just didn't catch fire until the last fight really .

The last show was (almost all) all heavyweights and almost all 50-50 sort of fights going up through the levels right the way up to two top 5ers in Wilder v Parker.

This one had a few fights that would be difficult to put on a non Saudi card but I did enjoy it.

No they meant ever ....

[KiwiRider]

Why they calling AJ the best HW boxer?

Has Usyk retired or sumat?

yes, and Fury has too and he's actually there.

I enjoyed the earlier stuff tbh , Greene and the other British lad the beat Gwynne .
Excellent from both .

[samwbr]

Helwani making Fury uncomfortable.

[Monzon83]

Fury basically admitting he's never boxing AJ. Massive duck.

[rd350lc]

Fury basically admitting he's never boxing AJ. Massive duck.

He's always said that to be fair.
I think he knows the outcome.

[Taansend]

Fair play AJ.

[Miguello]

Why they calling AJ the best HW boxer?

Has Usyk retired or sumat?

Only Hearn said that. He's feeling like he's back in business after a recession.

[jameswilson]

Joshua looks nervous.
