    Before Fury, this would be absurd. After Fury, this is clinical. After Wallin, AJ might be out to prove a point. If that's the case, AJ will be looking to get Francis out ASAP. It might be a rough night for Francis, but he is an accomplished martial artist, a physical phenom & he will be very well compensated. Also nobody can criticise AJ that didn't criticise Fury originally.

    The reason why this fight is happening is because the Hrgovic fight 'for the belt' probably isn't working out for March 9th. The plan will clearly be to fight Hrgovic in the following fight. But why Ngannou first? I suppose that's the fight the Saudis are throwing the most ridiculous money at.

    Ngannou could turn the fight into a brawl by fighting closer and by willing to take a few hits from AJ. Ngannou could be the new WILDER with one big over hand. Ngannou has nothing to lose and he has already gained experience and Confidence after fighting the WBC Champ. Even if Ngannou loses, he can still have a victory in the eyes of the fans, and Ngannou's fans go well beyond the boxing fans.

      AJ has a good inside game, his shoulders are not wide 'he is built' but his narrow shoulders help him on the inside, and it comes naturally to him, you saw it against Klitschko, against guys his own hight or taller AJ will win on the inside, I don't think that's a good tactic for Ngannou .

    There's a lot of logical reasons to why this is a good fight.. But also some reason's to why it ain't. I feel very strongly that Ngannou has solidified himself as a boxing contender, and as you said likely outcome is AJ win's and it sends a message about Fury struggling if he beat's him. But it's also a good way to properly measure Ngannou's skill and stance within the boxing community. It's likely to make a whole boat load of money which I feel is the biggest reason because after his fight with Fury people are a lot more enthusiastic about watching him now. Is it a risk for AJ? Yes, but not a massive one. If he was to lose then not like there's belt's on the line. But he will still continue on to make lots of money.

    This fight is a huge money spinner for AJ. It strengthens his position within Saudi events. It's a fight that fans will enjoy at this point, given the extremely impressive performance of Ngannou against Fury. It's also a legacy fight for AJ, given that Ngannou is now considered a top fighter by at least some major pundits, and perhaps in time he will be even more established as a top boxer. AJ has a dwindling amount of legacy fights available to him given the evaporation of the opportunity to fight Wilder. Also, would a loss against Ngannou, or a scrape through victory, be such a bad thing for AJ? The media will chalk it up to Ngannou's impressiveness as opposed to AJ being (any more) washed up.

      The IBF have stripped Crawford and Opetaia not to long after they earned their titles in the ring. The IBF like to pass their belt around like some slut. Usyk/Fury fights mid Feb, while the AJ/Ngannou is in March. Like Icon said - if the loser of Usyk/Fury activates their rematch instantly, they'll give their belt to Hrgovic. They might put Hrgovic up against his mandotory which might mean that we wont see AJ fight for the IBF anytime soon. Thats my guess though

There are a bunch of MMA fighters and only Anderson Silva was able to carry his striking over to boxing, and he had fought professionally in boxing before. Striking in UFC and boxing are just not the same. Ngannou is an anomaly in this regard. I doubt even the likes of Adesanya who has a background in boxing would do the same. The fact Ngannou is different needs to e emphasized at every point cause if u put any of the other UFC champions in the ring they'll get mauled. There's a reason Jake Paul CHOSE to fight 0-0 MMA fighters regardless of what they achieved in MMA. Even Cyborg now is fighting some no name boxer in boxing next week or something, she's not fighting a Sandy Ryan or McCaskill. All that is for a reason.

    Mt first thought when i heard AJ was fighting Ngannou was "Why??". But then you realise that after Wilder lost to Parker, the money and interest just fell off a cliff for an AJ vs Wilder fight. As much as i dont like it, this fight is the only one that will guarantee money and interest.
    Ive got nothing against Ngannou getting into boxing, but it must piss off other contenders that have worked there arses off to get into contention not to get their shot.
    Plus, from AJs side if he goes and knocks Ngannou out easily, thatbwill only throw shade on Fury's achievements. Especially after Joshua destroyed Wallin.

    Fight makes perfect sense , complete cash grab. why he waits for the IBF to strip Usyk or Fury.
    Personally I’d rather he had still fought Wilder or in a perfect world a Parker rematch.
    Parker has stood up to the table at both the other Saudi shows and deserves a main event. Hopefully he at least gets on the card.
    Can’t see Parker vs Hrgovic happening. Hrgovic was given a scrub on purpose to keep him rusty and to not risk his position. I doubt we will see him in the ring until the Joshua fight in June/July.

    What? I thought AJ wanted to fight for world champion belt against Hrgovic or Zhang but now against Ngannou….. I think this is only a money fight AJ will make like big money shot but it is very risky too danger for AJ, he make a big mistake. I think Brother Ngannou will beat AJ, I mean Ngannou is not Franklin Helenius or Wallin Ok Ngannou is not a good Boxer but He is a real fighter with courage with hard punches and heart….. I think good entertaining fight for us fans but with bad ending for Brother AJ.
    When AJ lose his mentally is really gone, then he never come back…..
    My prediction Ngannou wins KO

    Ngannou’s biggest problem is his finishing. He had Fury shocked, watching his reputation disappearing down the drain- badly hurt, yet he didn’t throw another punch for the remainder of the round. Why not? Did he think Fury was suddenly ‘dangerous’ in some way that he’s never been dangerous ever before because he’d been knocked down? No. ‘I was preserving energy’.
    Well sorry, but if you are boxing guys vastly more experienced than you are, you NEED to be playing to your major strengths and getting the job DONE once you have someone hurt- otherwise you will lose on points in every fight you have. He may be happy to go the distance with big boxing names, I don’t know. But it’s hardly a good career move losing to every boxer you face on points when you’ve got natural power to KO any man in the world. For gods sake Francis- next time you have a guy down, finish the job!

  • @lionheartthemuss
    @lionheartthemuss 5 місяців тому

    Mixed feeling on this. On one hand I think it is a joke fight that shouldn't happening and is bad for the sport. The reason fights with Wallin and Ngannou are now acceptable is because Fury lowered the bar at heavyweight expectations for champions and top contenders. On the other hand for AJ&Hearn it makes a lot of sense. AJ has already shown a much better performance against Wallin which questions Fury's status, by convincingly beating Ngannou it further raises AJ status against Fury. He also didn't suffer any damage against Wallin and this will keep him active and make more money, against an oppent that on paper shouldn't need the preparation fighting Hrgovic or Zhang would.

    The Hrgovic fight seems difficult to make as we dont know If or when the ibf strip the belt from the winner of Usyk vs Fury. This fight aint happening without a belt on the line.
    I think Joshua vs Hrgovic is easy to make for june/July. Its a very good fight.
    The good thing about this is that Joshua is beiing active, but there are several other contenders I would like him to fight.
    Zhang, Sanches, Bakole, Kabayel or Dubois to name some.
